Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-protein pig feed preparation, and particularly to a high-protein pig feed and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the intensive development of modern pig farming, the precision of pig feed nutrition and the diversification of functions are key to improving breeding efficiency. The weaning stage is an important period for pig growth and development, but their digestive system is not yet fully developed, and their ability to digest and absorb protein in feed is limited. They are prone to problems such as diarrhea and stunted growth due to factors such as antigenic proteins and anti-nutritional factors in feed.
[0003] Traditional pig feed formulations often rely on corn and soybean meal-based diets, which can provide basic energy and protein, but ignore individual differences and the refined needs of different growth stages. Weaned piglets' digestive systems are not yet fully developed, and antigenic proteins in conventional feeds (such as soybean antigens) can easily cause diarrhea, leading to stunted growth or even death.
[0004] Patent document CN103976177B discloses a high-protein pig feed and its preparation method. The technical solution mainly focuses on the compounding of natural plant raw materials and the preparation of nutritional seasoning powder to increase the protein content of the feed, promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce fat absorption, and reduce the incidence of disease in pigs.
[0005] Existing high-protein pig feed technologies suffer from substantial drawbacks such as low protein utilization, limited functionality, poor storage stability, and environmental unfriendliness. Traditional feeds typically involve a simple physical mixture of raw materials like corn and soybean meal, lacking microstructural design. This results in proteins being prematurely degraded in the highly acidic environment of the pig's stomach, failing to reach the intestines efficiently for absorption and utilization.
[0006] Directly used protein feed often suffers from problems such as tightly packed cell walls, making protein release difficult. Anti-nutritional factors or unpleasant flavors also affect palatability and bioavailability. Traditional high-protein feeds only focus on protein content figures, neglecting the stress that high protein intake puts on gut health and lacking regulation of the gut microbiota, easily leading to nutritional diarrhea. Furthermore, exposed protein feed is prone to moisture absorption and oxidation, resulting in short shelf life and poor storage stability. Due to low absorption efficiency, large amounts of undigested protein ferment in the intestines, producing ammonia gas, which not only causes nitrogen emissions and environmental pollution but also leads to high ammonia concentrations in pigsties and induces respiratory diseases. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a high-protein pig feed that can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for preparing high-protein pig feed includes the following steps: S1: Mix brewer's yeast cell wall residue with defatted mealworm sand, hydrolyze with protease, inactivate the enzyme, dry under vacuum to constant weight, and pulverize through an 80-100 mesh sieve to obtain modified protein core; S2: Dissolve konjac glucomannan in water, add sodium periodate under light-protected conditions, and adjust the pH to 3.5-4.0 to carry out the oxidation reaction. After the reaction is completed, purify and dry to obtain oxidized konjac glucomannan. S3: Disperse the modified protein core from step S1 in a solvent, add zinc nitrate hexahydrate solution, and simultaneously add 2-methylimidazole solution and a mixed solution containing oxidized konjac glucomannan and tannic acid from step S2, and react to obtain high-protein composite microparticles. S4: Mix the high-protein composite microparticles obtained in step S3 with the high-protein basal diet evenly to obtain high-protein pig feed.
[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the mass ratio of brewer's yeast cell wall residue to defatted mealworm sand is (3-5):(5-7); the protease is one or more of Bacillus licheniformis protease, Bacillus subtilis protease, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens protease; the amount of enzyme added is 0.1-2.0% of the substrate mass.
[0010] Preferably, step S1 specifically involves: mixing brewer's yeast cell wall residue with defatted mealworm sand, adjusting the pH to 8.5-9.5, stirring and enzymatically hydrolyzing at 40-50℃ for 2-4 hours, and after enzymatic hydrolysis, heating to 90-95℃ to inactivate the enzyme for 10-15 minutes, separating the solid and liquid, washing the precipitate 2-3 times with deionized water, vacuum drying at 50-60℃ to constant weight, pulverizing and passing through an 80-100 mesh sieve to obtain the modified protein core.
[0011] Preferably, in step S2, the mass ratio of konjac glucomannan to sodium periodate is 1:(0.8-1.2); the oxidation reaction is carried out under the following conditions: in the dark, at a temperature of 25-30℃, for 6-8 hours, and at a pH of 3.5-4.0.
[0012] Preferably, step S2 purification specifically involves: placing the reaction solution into a dialysis bag and dialyzing it in deionized water at 4°C for 36-40 hours, and collecting the liquid in the dialysis bag.
[0013] Preferably, in step S3, the solvent is a mixed solution of methanol and deionized water with a mass ratio of (0.8-3.2):1; the mass ratio of modified protein core, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, and 2-methylimidazole is 1:(0.1-0.5):(0.08-0.75).
[0014] Preferably, in step S3, the mass ratio of oxidized konjac glucomannan to tannic acid is 1:(0.2-0.5).
[0015] Preferably, the reaction conditions in step S3 are as follows: continue stirring the reaction at 25-40℃ for 4-6 hours. After the reaction is completed, the solid and liquid are separated, and the precipitate is washed successively with anhydrous methanol, 30% ethanol aqueous solution, and deionized water, and then vacuum dried at 40-45℃ to constant weight.
[0016] Preferably, the high-protein basal diet in step S4 includes the following components by weight: 40-60 parts corn, 15-25 parts soybean meal, 5-15 parts wheat bran, 1-5 parts premix, and 5-30 parts high-protein compound microparticles.
[0017] A high-protein pig feed prepared by the method according to any one of claims 1-9.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the technical solution of this invention, in the cell wall residue of brewer's yeast and defatted mealworm sand, the protein is wrapped in a dense cell wall or polysaccharide matrix. The oxidized konjac glucomannan formed by the selective oxidation of konjac glucomannan with sodium periodate has its vicinal diol structure broken to generate active aldehyde groups. In subsequent reactions, the aldehyde groups on the oxidized konjac glucomannan can form hydrogen bonds or hemiacetal structures with the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the tannic acid molecules to construct a cross-linked hydrophilic polymer network as a shell to wrap the modified protein core.
[0019] 2. This invention constructs a pH-responsive controlled-release shell by combining a modified protein core with a ZIF-8 metal-organic framework material. ZIF-8 is formed from zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 2-methylimidazole at room temperature. Its crystal structure remains stable in the acidic gastric juice environment, effectively blocking pepsin from entering the microparticles and preventing small molecule peptides from being prematurely degraded in the stomach. When the composite microparticles enter the weakly alkaline environment of the intestine, the coordination bonds in ZIF-8 break, the framework structure gradually hydrolyzes, releases zinc ions and disintegrates, the shell pores expand, and the internal small molecule peptides are slowly released through concentration gradient diffusion, achieving targeted controlled release in the intestine. This solves the problem that proteins in traditional feed are easily degraded prematurely in the acidic gastric environment and cannot be efficiently absorbed by the intestine.
[0020] 3. This invention encapsulates the modified protein core with a ZIF-8 shell, reducing direct contact between the protein and oxygen, moisture, and other external elements. This lowers the risk of protein oxidation, denaturation, and clumping due to moisture absorption, thus extending the shelf life of feed. Increased protein utilization reduces the amount of ammonia produced by intestinal fermentation of undigested protein, reducing nitrogen emissions and environmental pollution. It also lowers ammonia concentration in pigsties and improves respiratory health in pigs. Furthermore, this invention fully utilizes byproducts such as brewer's yeast cell wall residue and defatted mealworm excrement, achieving waste recycling. Attached Figure Description

[0054] Comparative Example 5 In step S4, no high-protein complex microparticles are added to the feed formulation. Instead, corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, and premix are used in proportion to form a conventional basic feed, with the same mixing process.
[0055] The following performance tests were conducted on the high-protein pig feeds prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-5: 1. Growth performance indicators Take 50 kg of pig feed prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 respectively, remove impurities, and place them in sealed bags. One day before the experiment, place each group of feed in a 25°C environment to warm up, ensuring that the feed temperature is consistent with the ambient temperature during feeding. Feed once each at 7:00, 14:00, and 21:00 daily, with each feeding amount based on the piglets finishing the food within 30 minutes. Clean up any uneaten feed promptly and record the amount remaining. Record the daily feeding amount and uneaten feed amount for each group, calculate the total daily feed intake, and check the piglets' feces at 7:30 and 18:00 daily, recording the number of pigs with diarrhea, the number of days of diarrhea, and observing the self-healing status.
[0056] Healthy piglets were selected and randomly divided into 8 groups of 10 piglets each, with half males and half females. Groups 1-3 were fed the high-protein pig feed prepared in Examples 1-3, while groups 4-8 were fed the control examples 1-5.
[0057] Feeding was stopped at 21:00 the day before the test, and the piglets were fasted for 12 hours to ensure they were in a fasting state. Each piglet was weighed individually using an electronic scale, and the weight of each piglet was recorded. The average initial weight on day 0 and the average final weight on day 28 were calculated for each group. The calculation formula is as follows: Average daily weight gain (ADG) = (Average final weight per group - Average initial weight per group) ÷ 28 (days) Average daily feed intake (ADFI) = Total feed intake during the trial period for each group ÷ (Number of animals per group × 28) Feed conversion ratio (F / G) = Average daily feed intake (ADFI) ÷ Average daily gain (ADG) Diarrhea rate = (Total number of diarrhea episodes per group) ÷ (Number of pigs per group × 28) × 100% (Diarrhea episode: 1 piglet with diarrhea for 1 day is counted as 1 episode) 2. Nutrient digestibility Every morning, fresh fecal samples (approximately 200g / head) were collected from each piglet, avoiding contamination (avoiding contact with urine and pen impurities). The samples were placed in a fecal collection box, and 20mL of 10% sulfuric acid solution was immediately added. The samples were stirred evenly, and the group and date were labeled. The fecal samples were mixed evenly over 3 days and dried in a 65℃ oven until constant weight. After cooling to room temperature, the samples were pulverized and passed through a 40-mesh sieve. The experimental results are shown in Table 1-2.
[0058] According to the kit instructions, determine the dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), and acid-insoluble ash (AIA) content of feed samples and fecal samples respectively.
[0059] Calculate apparent digestibility: Apparent digestibility = 1 − (AIA content in feed / AIA content in feces) × (nutrient content in feces / nutrient content in feed) × 100% (Calculate apparent digestibility of dry matter and apparent digestibility of crude protein separately).

[0061] Table 2: Results of apparent digestibility of dry matter and crude protein in piglets from different experimental groups
[0062] As shown in Table 1, the average daily weight gain of piglets in Examples 1-5 was significantly higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-5, the feed conversion ratio was much lower than that in Comparative Examples 1-5, and the diarrhea rate was also significantly reduced. This indicates that the high-protein pig feed prepared by the present invention can significantly improve the growth performance of piglets and reduce feed consumption and the risk of diarrhea. Comparative Example 1 did not undergo enzymatic modification of the protein raw materials, resulting in low protein release efficiency and poor growth performance. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 lacked the cross-linking synergy of oxidized konjac glucomannan or tannic acid, resulting in insufficient controlled release and intestinal protection effects, and their performance was second best. Comparative Example 4 did not construct a ZIF-8 metal-organic framework, and the protein was easily degraded prematurely by gastric acid, further reducing growth performance. Comparative Example 5 was a conventional basal diet without the support of high-protein complex microparticles, and it had the worst growth performance among all groups. This fully demonstrates the positive promoting effect of the feed prepared by the process of the present invention on the growth of piglets.
[0063] As shown in Table 2, the apparent digestibility of dry matter and crude protein in Examples 1-5 is significantly higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-5, indicating that the high-protein pig feed of the present invention can significantly improve the digestibility and absorption efficiency of nutrients in piglets. Comparative Example 1 has a low digestibility because the protein raw material is not enzymatically hydrolyzed, making it difficult to break down and utilize the protein. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 have limited controlled-release effects due to incomplete shell cross-linking, resulting in digestibility between the examples and other comparative examples. Comparative Example 4 lacks a pH-responsive controlled-release structure, leading to premature protein degradation and a further decrease in digestibility. Comparative Example 5 is a traditional diet without modified protein core and controlled-release shell design, resulting in the lowest protein utilization rate and the worst digestibility among all groups, confirming the advantages of the feed of the present invention in nutrient digestibility and absorption.
[0064] In summary, by preparing a modified protein core and constructing a pH-responsive controlled-release shell composed of ZIF-8 and oxidized konjac glucomannan-tannic acid, high-protein composite microparticles were obtained and added to the basal diet. The high-protein pig feeds in Examples 1-5 achieved intestinal-targeted controlled release of protein, improved protein utilization and nutrient digestibility, improved piglet intestinal health, reduced diarrhea rate, and enhanced feed feeding effect and breeding efficiency. Compared with traditional feeds and control feeds lacking processing technology, it showed superior performance advantages.
