Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fermented feed technology, specifically a method for preparing fermented feed containing increased flavonoid content in poultry and livestock. Background Technology

[0002] As livestock farming becomes more intensive and large-scale, issues related to feed safety, animal health, and antibiotic residues are becoming increasingly prominent. Developing functional feeds that can replace antibiotics, enhance animal immunity, and improve the quality of livestock products has become a hot research topic in the industry. Flavonoids are a class of natural active ingredients widely found in plants, possessing various biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory effects. Their application in feed has great potential to promote animal health and improve production performance.

[0003] Golden hibiscus and yellow hibiscus flowers are plant resources rich in bioactive substances such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, and amino acids. However, in traditional feed applications, these plant materials are usually simply crushed and added directly. Their cell wall structure limits the dissolution and absorption of effective components such as flavonoids, resulting in low bioavailability. At the same time, anti-nutritional factors in the raw materials are not effectively removed, affecting the overall nutritional value of the feed.

[0004] Existing fermented feed technologies mostly focus on processing conventional raw materials such as soybean meal and corn to improve protein digestibility. However, there is still a lack of methods for in-depth development of special resources such as golden hibiscus and yellow hibiscus flowers, and for targeted enhancement of flavonoid content and bioactivity through specific processes. Summary of the Invention

(4) Fermentation with compound microbial agent: 3%-8% of the total mass of compound microbial agent is added to the mixture after enzymatic hydrolysis and soaking. The compound microbial agent is composed of Lactobacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Bacillus subtilis in a live cell ratio of (3-5):(2-3):1. The mixture is first aerobic fermented at 30-37℃ for 12-36 hours, and then anaerobic sealed fermented for 4-8 days. (5) Post-fermentation treatment: After fermentation, the fermentation product is dried at a low temperature of 50-60℃ until the moisture content drops to 20%-30%, and a fermented feed base rich in flavonoids is obtained. (6) Product blending: The fermented feed base material and green grass are mixed evenly at a mass ratio of 1:1 to 1:3 to obtain the final fermented feed. (7) Feeding method: The final fermented feed is directly fed to poultry and livestock.

[0008] Preferably, the amount of the compound enzyme preparation added in step (2) is 1%, and the enzyme activity ratio of cellulase to xylanase is 1:0.8.

[0009] Preferably, the ratio of material to liquid in the enzymatic hydrolysis soaking in step (3) is 1:5, the temperature is 45°C, and the time is 3 hours.

[0015] Beneficial effects This invention provides a method for preparing flavonoid-rich fermented feed for poultry and livestock, which has the following advantages: Significantly improved flavonoid content and bioavailability: Through two key technologies, namely "compound enzymatic hydrolysis and cell wall breaking" and "multi-strain synergistic fermentation", flavonoids in the raw materials are deeply released and biotransformed, so that the total flavonoid content in the final product is not less than 50 mg / kg, and most of them are in the free state that is easily absorbed, with high biological activity.

[0016] The fermentation process produces abundant organic acids, small peptides, amino acids, and aromatic esters, which greatly improves the palatability of the feed, degrades anti-nutritional factors, and increases the digestibility and absorption of nutrients such as protein and fiber.

[0017] The flavonoids and probiotics in this product work together to effectively regulate the balance of intestinal flora in animals, enhance the body's antioxidant and immune functions, thereby reducing the occurrence of diseases and providing a solution for reducing or replacing the use of antibiotics.

[0018] This invention precisely optimizes key process parameters (temperature, time, and strain ratio), resulting in a clear process, controllable conditions, suitability for large-scale production, and promising application prospects. Detailed Implementation
