Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pet health product technology, specifically relating to a special health product formula and preparation method for parrots with soft stools. It is suitable for various pet parrots such as budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, macaws, and African grey parrots, and is especially suitable for treating soft stools caused by improper diet, environmental stress, and intestinal flora imbalance, taking into account both intestinal care and nutritional supplementation. Background Technology
[0002] Parrots have sensitive and fragile digestive systems, rapid intestinal metabolism, and a low number of beneficial bacteria. Soft stool is an extremely common intestinal problem during their care. The main causes include improper diet (such as overfeeding high-moisture fruits and vegetables or spoiled grains), environmental stress (such as moving the cage, large temperature differences, or noise disturbances), intestinal flora imbalance (reduced beneficial bacteria and increased harmful bacteria), and insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes. Soft stool not only leads to loose, unformed feces that are difficult to clean and stain the cage, but it can also cause decreased appetite, dull feathers, and weight loss in parrots. Long-term, repeated occurrences can damage the intestinal mucosa, increase the risk of viral and parasitic infections, and in severe cases, endanger the parrot's life.
[0003] Currently, existing intestinal conditioning products for parrots have several shortcomings: First, their formulas are often too simple, mostly adding only a single probiotic or prebiotic, failing to achieve the synergistic effect of probiotics, digestive enzymes, and dietary fiber, resulting in limited conditioning effects and difficulty in fundamentally solving the problem of recurring soft stools; Second, the probiotic strains selected are not adapted to the physiological characteristics of parrots' intestines. Some products use mammal-specific strains with weak colonization ability and easy loss of activity, failing to effectively regulate the balance of the parrot's intestinal flora; Third, some products add harmful ingredients such as sucrose and preservatives, or have an excessively high proportion of dietary fiber, which can easily increase the burden on the parrot's intestines and even induce side effects such as bloating and frequent defecation; Fourth, they do not take into account the nutritional needs of parrots, failing to supplement the body's required nutrients while conditioning the intestines, making it difficult to improve the parrot's own immunity and fundamentally reduce the probability of recurring soft stools.
[0004] Therefore, developing a health supplement formula that is scientifically formulated, highly targeted, safe and without side effects, can quickly improve soft stools in parrots, nourish their intestines, supplement nutrition, and is suitable for the physiological characteristics of various parrots has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current pet health supplement industry. Summary of the Invention Purpose of the invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a health supplement formula and preparation method for improving soft stools in parrots. It overcomes the technical defects of existing products, such as poor conditioning effect, easy relapse, unsuitable ingredients, and single nutrition. It achieves the dual goals of "intestinal conditioning + nutritional supplementation", quickly regulates the balance of intestinal flora in parrots, supplements digestive enzymes, promotes stool formation, and enhances the parrot's immunity. It is safe, has no side effects, is palatable, suitable for various types of parrots, and can be used long-term. Technical solution
[0006] The core technical solution of this invention is as follows: a health product formula for improving soft stools in parrots and its preparation method, comprising the following components by weight: Compound probiotics 2.0-4.5 parts; 2.5-5.0 parts of compound digestive enzymes; Complex dietary fiber: 3.0-6.0 servings; Nutritional supplements: 8.0-13.0 servings; Carrier: 67.5-84.5 copies; 0.5-1.5 parts of natural palatability enhancer.
[0007] Furthermore, the compound probiotic is composed of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans, and Clostridium butyricum in a weight ratio of 3:1:1, wherein the viable count of Bacillus subtilis is ≥1.2×10¹. 0 CFU / g, viable count of Bacillus coagulans ≥ 8.0 × 10⁻⁶ 9 CFU / g, viable count of Clostridium butyricum ≥ 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ 9 CFU / g. This compound ratio is adapted to the intestinal microecological structure of parrots. Bacillus subtilis can quickly colonize the intestinal mucosa and seize the attachment sites of harmful bacteria. Bacillus coagulans can tolerate the acidic environment of the parrot's intestine and exert its effects for a long time. Clostridium butyricum can repair the intestinal mucosa and inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria. The three work synergistically to significantly improve the intestinal flora balance regulation effect, which is superior to single probiotic strains.
[0008] Furthermore, the compound digestive enzyme is composed of amylase, protease, lipase, and cellulase in a weight ratio of 2:2:1:1, wherein the amylase activity is ≥1500 U / g, the protease activity is ≥1200 U / g, the lipase activity is ≥800 U / g, and the cellulase activity is ≥600 U / g. This compound combination can comprehensively break down the crude fiber, protein, fat, and other nutrients in the parrot's staple food, reducing the digestive burden on the intestines and compensating for the parrot's own insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes. It is especially suitable for situations where digestive function is weak, such as during the transition period when changing food or after illness. In synergy with compound probiotics, it further enhances the intestinal digestive and absorptive capacity.
[0009] Furthermore, the compound dietary fiber is composed of inulin, fructooligosaccharides, and alfalfa fiber in a weight ratio of 2:1:1. Inulin and fructooligosaccharides, as prebiotics, specifically promote the proliferation of probiotics, enhance their activity, and simultaneously increase stool volume and promote stool formation. Alfalfa fiber has a soft texture and is easily digested and absorbed by parrots, avoiding bloating caused by excessive dietary fiber. The three components work synergistically to help improve soft stools and maintain intestinal health, unlike existing products that use only inulin or fructooligosaccharides, and are tailored to the digestive characteristics of parrots.
[0010] Furthermore, the nutritional supplement is a compound of flaxseed powder, brewer's yeast powder, and multivitamins in a weight ratio of 4:3:1. Flaxseed powder is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and high-quality protein, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the parrot's body and enhance immunity; brewer's yeast powder is rich in amino acids and B vitamins, which can improve the parrot's appetite and promote nutrient absorption; multivitamins contain vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and B vitamins, which can supplement the micronutrients needed by the parrot during intestinal conditioning and prevent nutrient loss. The three work synergistically to combine intestinal conditioning with nutritional supplementation, solving the shortcomings of existing products that offer only one type of nutrition.
[0011] Furthermore, the carrier is corn starch with a moisture content ≤12% and a fineness ≥80 mesh. Corn starch is easily digestible, non-irritating, and can effectively protect the activity of compound probiotics and compound digestive enzymes, preventing them from becoming inactive during storage and feeding. It is also easy to shape and suits the parrot's eating habits, which is superior to the rice flour, wheat flour, and other carriers used in existing products (which can easily lead to increased intestinal burden).
[0012] Furthermore, the natural palatability enhancer is a parrot-specific fructooligosaccharide, with no artificial additives, good palatability, and can improve the acceptance of health products. It is especially suitable for parrots that refuse to eat or have poor appetite, and will not increase the burden on the intestines. This is different from the artificial flavorings, sweeteners and other palatability enhancers used in existing products (which are prone to causing intestinal discomfort).
[0013] Furthermore, the preparation method of this health supplement formula includes the following steps: Raw material pretreatment: Place the carrier corn starch in a drying oven and dry it at 60-70℃ for 2-3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, pulverize it and pass it through an 80-mesh sieve to remove impurities. Set aside for use. Pulverize the flaxseed powder and brewer's yeast powder in the nutritional supplements separately and pass them through an 80-mesh sieve. Set aside for use. Mixing and compounding: According to the above weight proportions, first put the compound probiotics, compound digestive enzymes, compound dietary fiber, nutritional supplements, and natural palatability enhancers into a mixer and stir at low speed for 15-20 minutes at a speed of 100-150 r / min to ensure uniform mixing; then slowly add the pretreated carrier and continue stirring at low speed for 25-30 minutes until all components are mixed evenly to obtain a mixed powder; Molding and drying: The mixed powder is placed in a pelletizing machine to form pellets with a particle size of 0.8-1.2mm. The pellets are then placed in a drying oven and dried at 50-60℃ for 4-5 hours, controlling the moisture content of the pellets to ≤10%. Sterilization and packaging: Place the dried granules into a sterilization device and sterilize them with ultraviolet light for 30-40 minutes. After sterilization, seal the packaging and store it in a cool, dry place to obtain the finished product.
[0014] Furthermore, the usage instructions for this health supplement are as follows: Adjust the dosage according to the parrot's size. For small parrots (weight <100g, such as budgies and lovebirds), administer 0.5-1.0g once daily; for medium-sized parrots (weight 100-500g, such as cockatiels and ecclesiastical parrots), administer 1.0-2.0g once daily; for large parrots (weight >500g, such as macaws and African grey parrots), administer 2.0-3.0g once daily. The finished product can be mixed into the parrot's staple food (such as whole grains, millet, or sorghum). Alternatively, dissolve in room temperature water (≤40℃ to avoid damaging the probiotic activity) and pour into the waterer, stir well, and then feed. During stress periods, transition periods for changing food, and recovery periods after illness, the dosage can be increased to twice a day for 7-10 consecutive days, after which the regular dosage can be resumed. When using for the first time, halve the dosage and feed for 2 consecutive days, observe the parrot's adaptation, and resume the regular dosage if there are no abnormalities. Do not use on unweaned young parrots (<2 months old) or parrots allergic to any component of this product. Any remaining feed should be discarded on the same day to avoid reduced probiotic activity or bacterial growth. Beneficial effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: The formula is original and scientifically sound, with a strong focus on specific needs: it employs a core design that combines compound probiotics, compound digestive enzymes, and compound dietary fiber for a synergistic effect, precisely matching the physiological characteristics of the parrot's intestines. This addresses the shortcomings of existing products that rely on single ingredients for poor conditioning, quickly regulating the balance of intestinal flora, supplementing digestive enzymes, and promoting stool formation. Generally, soft stool symptoms can be significantly improved after 3-5 days of feeding, and normal stool form can be restored in 7-10 days, with a low recurrence rate. At the same time, it avoids potentially harmful ingredients found in existing products, ensuring high safety and long-term use.
[0016] The probiotic strains are highly adaptable and have stable activity: a compound of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans, and Clostridium butyricum is selected, all of which are dominant beneficial bacteria in the parrot's gut. They have strong colonization ability, and through carrier protection and optimized preparation process, the activity of probiotics can be effectively preserved, avoiding inactivation during storage and feeding, resulting in a longer-lasting conditioning effect. The number of live bacteria meets the needs of the parrot's gut, so the effect will not be affected by insufficient live bacteria, nor will it cause problems such as increased intestinal gas and bloating due to excessive live bacteria.
[0017] Balancing intestinal conditioning and nutritional supplementation: While conditioning the intestines, nutritional supplements provide parrots with the protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and other nutrients they need, enhancing their immunity and fundamentally reducing the probability of recurring soft stools. This addresses the shortcomings of existing products that lack nutritional diversity, and is especially suitable for parrots that experience nutrient loss during soft stools.
[0018] Highly palatable and easy to use: Contains natural palatability enhancers, with no artificial additives, adapting to parrots' eating habits and effectively improving their acceptance of food; The finished product is in pellet form, which can be directly mixed with food or dissolved in water for feeding, making it easy to operate and suitable for parrots of different sizes and eating habits; The dosage is clearly defined and can be flexibly adjusted according to the parrot's size and physical condition, making it highly practical.
[0019] The preparation method is simple and can be mass-produced: the preparation process requires no complex equipment, the steps are simple, the cost is low, and it can effectively retain the activity of each component, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production and easy to promote and apply; the finished product has good storage stability and can be stored for more than 12 months in a cool, dry, and sealed place without easily deteriorating. Detailed implementation method The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1
