Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal feed technology, specifically to a green antibiotic-free feed for quail during their egg-laying period and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the research and development of feed for quail during their egg-laying period, green and antibiotic-free (i.e., free of antibiotics and hormones) feed has become the main direction of industry development. Some existing patents attempt to improve the safety and functionality of feed by adding traditional Chinese medicine, probiotics, or alternative protein sources. However, these solutions still have some limitations in practical application.

[0003] Patent CN106509458A discloses a quail feed for the laying period, whose components include corn flour, soybean meal, rice bran, leaf meal, bone meal, fish meal, silkworm pupa powder, manganese sulfate, zinc sulfate, multivitamins, vitamin C, fine sand, calcium salts, and sodium bicarbonate. This feed aims to increase egg production by improving protein and calcium content, with experiments showing an annual egg production of 305–320 eggs. However, the scheme does not explicitly state whether it completely avoids the use of antibiotics or hormone additives, and the formula relies on animal-derived proteins (such as fish meal and silkworm pupa powder), which may raise questions about the sustainability and safety of raw materials under the concept of green farming. Furthermore, this feed does not introduce plant-based active ingredients with synergistic antioxidant or immunomodulatory functions, limiting its effect on improving egg quality (such as yolk color, eggshell strength, and antioxidant capacity).

[0004] Patent CN105211658A discloses a feed for adult quails during their egg-laying period, comprising corn, barley, soybeans, eggshells, peanut shells, wheat bran, and traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as Coptis chinensis, Houttuynia cordata, dandelion, and Astragalus membranaceus. This formula aims to prevent common diseases during the egg-laying period by adding traditional heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs, and to supplement calcium through processed eggshells to enhance eggshell thickness. However, the herbs used in this feed are mostly crude extracts or directly ground, without optimization of the stability, bioavailability, or interactions with other nutrients of the active ingredients. In actual feeding, some herbal components may degrade due to the pH environment of the digestive tract or enzymatic hydrolysis, affecting their efficacy. Furthermore, the formula does not systematically integrate microecological preparations or enzyme preparations, resulting in limited synergistic regulatory effects on feed conversion rate and intestinal health.

[0005] In summary, while existing technologies have achieved antibiotic-free or partially green practices to some extent, there is still room for improvement in terms of the stability of active ingredients, synergistic effects of nutrients, overall improvement of egg quality, and adaptability to green farming throughout the entire life cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a green, antibiotic-free feed for quail during their egg-laying period. This feed should ensure nutritional balance and, through scientific formulation and optimized preparation processes, enhance the bioavailability of functional components, thereby achieving the goals of high-yield, high-quality, and safe farming. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a green antibiotic-free feed for quail during their egg-laying period and its preparation method. By constructing a modified quercetin and modified gallic acid composite system with synergistic effects, the problem of low bioavailability of natural active ingredients in the prior art is solved.

[0007] Specifically, the technical solution of the present invention includes the following steps: A method for preparing a green, antibiotic-free feed for quail during their egg-laying period, the method comprising the following steps: Quercetin, acetic anhydride, and pyridine were mixed and stirred to produce acetylated quercetin. A glycosylated complex was obtained by mixing and stirring sucrose, acetylated quercetin, and dextran sucrase enzyme solution. Sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium trimetaphosphate, glycosylation complex and sodium sulfate are mixed and stirred to react to obtain phosphorylated complex; Modified quercetin was obtained by mixing and stirring the phosphorylated complex and potassium carbonate. Modified quercetin and modified gallic acid were mixed and stirred to obtain a compound feed additive; Corn, soybean meal, fish meal, limestone powder, compound feed additives and premix are mixed together, then rapeseed oil is sprayed on, and the mixture is stirred and mixed again to obtain green antibiotic-free feed.

[0008] Furthermore, the weight ratio of quercetin, acetic anhydride and pyridine is 1:1.2~1.5:0.03~0.05.

[0009] Furthermore, the conditions for the mixed stirring reaction of quercetin, acetic anhydride and pyridine include a reaction temperature of 60-70°C and a reaction time of 1.5-2.5 h; acetic anhydride undergoes a partial phenolic hydroxyl group acylation reaction with quercetin to generate acetylated quercetin.

[0010] Furthermore, the weight ratio of sucrose, acetylated quercetin, and dextran sucrase enzyme solution is 5~7:0.01~0.03:0.01~0.02.

[0011] Furthermore, the conditions for the mixing and stirring reaction of sucrose, acetylated quercetin, and dextran sucrase include a reaction time of 20-24 h and a reaction speed of 200 r / min; utilizing the transglycosylation activity of dextran sucrase, glucose units in sucrose are regioselectively linked to the exposed phenolic hydroxyl groups of acetylated quercetin in the form of glycosidic bonds, thereby achieving glycosylation and introducing a strong hydrophilic head.

[0012] Furthermore, the weight ratio of sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium trimetaphosphate, glycosylated complex and sodium sulfate is 0.4~0.8:0.2~0.5:1:0.1~0.2.

[0013] Furthermore, the conditions for the mixed stirring reaction of sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium trimetaphosphate, glycosylation complex and sodium sulfate include a reaction pH of 8.8-9.2, a reaction temperature of 75-85℃ and a reaction time of 5-6h; the sodium tripolyphosphate / sodium trimetaphosphate mixed reagent undergoes a phosphorylation reaction with the hydroxyl groups at the end of the glycosylation product to attach phosphate groups.

[0014] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the phosphorylated complex to potassium carbonate is 10:3~4.

[0015] Furthermore, the conditions for the mixing and stirring reaction of the phosphorylated complex and potassium carbonate include a reaction temperature of 70-80°C and a reaction time of 6-8 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified gallic acid includes the following steps: Gallic acid, phytosterol and lipase were mixed and stirred to obtain the first complex. The first complex, glycine, horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide solution were mixed and stirred to react to obtain the second complex; The second complex and zinc gluconate were mixed and stirred to obtain a complex dispersion, and then trehalose was added and stirred to obtain modified gallic acid.

[0017] Furthermore, the lipase is the immobilized lipase Novozyme 435.

[0018] Furthermore, the weight ratio of gallic acid, phytosterol and lipase is 1.5~1.7:0.8~1.0:0.15~0.17.

[0019] Furthermore, the conditions for the mixed stirring reaction of gallic acid, phytosterol and lipase include a reaction temperature of 60-65°C and a reaction time of 48-72 h; under the catalysis of lipase, the carboxyl group of gallic acid undergoes an esterification reaction with the hydroxyl group of phytosterol.

[0020] Furthermore, the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 30 wt%.

[0021] Further, the weight ratio of the first complex, glycine, horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide solution is 1:0.3~0.4:0.01~0.02:0.08~0.12.

[0022] Furthermore, the reaction conditions for mixing and stirring the first complex, glycine, horseradish peroxidase, and hydrogen peroxide solution include a reaction temperature of 35-37°C and a reaction time of 6-8 hours. Horseradish peroxidase catalyzes hydrogen peroxide to oxidize the catechol structure in the first complex into a highly reactive catechol, which then reacts with the amino group of glycine to obtain the second complex.

[0023] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the second complex to zinc gluconate is 1:0.9~1.1.

[0024] Furthermore, the mixing and stirring conditions for the second complex and zinc gluconate include a stirring speed of 800 r / min and a stirring time of 2-4 h; the divalent zinc ions coordinate with the phenolic hydroxyl, carboxylic acid and other groups on the second complex to obtain modified gallic acid.

[0025] Furthermore, the amount of trehalose used is 5% to 10% of the weight of the composite dispersion.

[0026] The weight ratio of corn, soybean meal, fish meal, stone powder, compound feed additives, premix, and rapeseed oil is 55~58:25~28:2~4:4~6:0.1~0.3:4~5:1~2.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) This invention improves the water solubility and cell membrane affinity of quercetin derivatives by continuously modifying quercetin through acetylation of phenolic hydroxyl groups, enzymatic glucosylation, phosphorylation of glycosyl ends, and deacetylation. This solves the technical problem of low oral bioavailability of quercetin due to its high lipid solubility and rapid metabolism. However, the introduced phosphate group is prone to chelate with divalent metal ions such as calcium and iron in the complex digestive tract environment, which will interfere with the body's absorption of essential mineral elements in feed. To solve this problem, this invention prepares modified gallic acid, which is esterified with phytosterols by lipase catalysis, and then grafted with glycine by enzymatic oxidation. Finally, it coordinates with zinc ions to self-assemble into particles. Its zinc coordination network can complex calcium, iron and other metal ions in the intestine, effectively protecting the active groups of modified quercetin from interference. Its structure can jointly promote the intestinal absorption of both and form a complementary antioxidant and metabolic regulation network in vivo, achieving a synergistic effect.

[0028] (2) In this invention, modified quercetin is responsible for core antioxidant activity, while the phytosterol component in modified gallic acid synergistically regulates lipid metabolism, forming a multifunctional system that can regulate antioxidant activity, calcium homeostasis, and lipid metabolism during the quail's egg-laying period. The green antibiotic-free feed prepared based on this compound feed additive can achieve multiple benefits during the quail's egg-laying period. The compound feed additive enhances eggshell strength and reduces egg breakage rate by optimizing the dynamic utilization of minerals such as calcium. Its systemic antioxidant function helps alleviate high-production stress, maintain stable egg production performance, and improve egg quality. Furthermore, the synergistic regulatory effect of the compound on lipid metabolism supports liver health and nutrient conversion efficiency, ultimately improving overall feed efficiency.

[0050] Quail egg production performance test: 360 healthy, laying quails of similar weight (120±5g) were randomly divided into 12 groups (Examples 1-5, Comparative Examples 1-5, and Blank Control Group), with 30 quails in each group, housed individually. The blank control group was fed a basal diet (without compound additives), while the other groups were fed the corresponding green antibiotic-free diets of the Examples and Comparative Examples, respectively. The experiment lasted for 60 days. The number of eggs laid, egg weight, and number of broken eggs were recorded daily for each group. The egg production rate (egg production rate = total number of eggs laid / (number of quails × number of experimental days) × 100%) and average egg weight were calculated. Egg quality testing: After the test, 30 qualified eggs were randomly selected from each group. The eggshell strength was measured using an eggshell strength tester, and the yolk color was measured using a colorimeter. Feed efficiency test: During the experiment, the daily feed intake and remaining amount for each group were recorded, and the average feed intake was calculated; at the beginning and end of the experiment, the weight of each group of quails was weighed, and the average weight gain was calculated. The test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0051] Table 1. Results of Quail Egg Production Performance Test Table 2. Results of Egg Quality Testing and Feed Conversion The test results in Tables 1 and 2 show that the green antibiotic-free feeds prepared in Examples 1-5 of this invention have good performance, while the performance of the green antibiotic-free feeds prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5 is reduced to varying degrees.

[0052] The decrease in Comparative Example 1 may be due to a mismatch between the transglycosylation activity and regioselectivity of the enzyme after replacing dextran sucrase with β-galactosidase. Dextran sucrase can precisely link glucose units in sucrose to the exposed phenolic hydroxyl groups of acetylated quercetin via glycosidic bonds, while β-galactosidase has low transglycosylation efficiency and cannot achieve specific site modification. This results in a limited increase in the water solubility of modified quercetin and insufficient cell membrane affinity, which in turn affects its absorption and utilization efficiency in quail, ultimately leading to a decline in the overall performance of the feed.

[0053] The decrease in Comparative Example 2 may be due to the poor compatibility between the molecular structure of lanosterol and gallic acid after replacing phytosterol with lanosterol. Under the catalysis of immobilized lipase Novozyme 435, the esterification rate of the two is slower, resulting in a lower conversion rate and affecting the yield and purity of the first complex. Furthermore, lanosterol lacks the physiological activity of phytosterols in regulating lipid metabolism and cannot form a synergistic metabolic regulatory network with modified quercetin. This weakens the protective effect on quail liver health and reduces nutrient conversion efficiency, leading to performance indicators inferior to those of Example 5.

[0054] The decrease in Comparative Example 3 may be due to differences in the catalytic properties of the immobilized lipase Lipozyme TL IM compared to Novozyme 435. Lipozyme TL IM exhibits lower catalytic efficiency in the esterification reaction of gallic acid and phytosterols, failing to efficiently promote the binding of gallic acid carboxyl groups to phytosterol hydroxyl groups. This results in a reduced amount of the first complex and a higher impurity content in the product. Subsequent oxidative grafting and zinc ion coordination reactions are also affected by poor substrate quality. The structural integrity and functional activity of the modified gallic acid decrease, making it unable to effectively chelate metal ions in the intestine to protect the modified quercetin, ultimately leading to reduced feed performance.

[0055] The decrease in Comparative Example 4 may be due to the reduced selectivity of the phosphorylation reaction after replacing the mixed system of sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium trimetaphosphate with sodium pyrophosphate as a single reagent. The mixed phosphate system can specifically undergo phosphorylation esterification with the terminal hydroxyl groups of the glycosylated complex, while the reaction site of sodium pyrophosphate is not specific, easily leading to non-specific modification of the active sites on the modified quercetin molecule, and a decrease in the grafting rate of phosphate groups. The water solubility and activity of the modified quercetin cannot achieve the expected results, and its phosphate groups are more easily chelated and inactivated by metal ions in the intestine, ultimately leading to a decline in feed performance.

[0056] The decrease in Comparative Example 5 may be due to the lower α-amino reactivity of DL-alanine compared to glycine after replacing glycine with DL-alanine. This results in reduced binding efficiency with the o-benzoquinone intermediate in the Michael addition reaction catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase, leading to insufficient grafting rate. Furthermore, the weaker hydrophilicity and coordination ability of DL-alanine compared to glycine further decreases the hydrophilicity of the second complex and worsens its coordination with zinc ions, impairing the structure and function of the modified gallic acid. Consequently, it cannot effectively complex metal ions in the intestine and is less effective at promoting synergistic absorption with modified quercetin, resulting in lower performance indicators for the feed compared to Example 5.
