Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chicken feed processing technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing functional chicken feed using waste from the processing of *Hedyotis diffusa* (a type of herb). Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, *Asystasia gangetica*, a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Asystasia* of the Acanthaceae family, is also known as Green Leaf, Imperial Concubine Vegetable, and Traumatic Injury Grass. Because it is rich in resveratrol (50-100 times higher than in wine), quercetin, rutin, phytosterols, linoleic acid, natural plant active selenium, and various trace elements, it has the following effects on chickens: anti-coccidiosis, antioxidant, prevention of fatty liver; effectively improves eggshell quality, antioxidant, maintains estrogen balance; enhances vascular permeability, anti-inflammatory; competitively inhibits cholesterol absorption, lowers egg cholesterol, promotes growth and egg production, and improves the body's antioxidant capacity.

[0003] Large-scale cultivation of *Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides* has been achieved in Danzhou, Sanya, Qiongzhong, Haikou in Hainan Province, and Qingxin in Guangdong Province, with a yield of up to 15,000 jin per mu per year. Harvesting can be done three times a month in summer. Currently, it is mainly sold as a wild vegetable for human consumption. The processing generates a large amount of inedible parts such as old stems and coarse leaves (the harvesting standard is only to take about 10cm of tender stems and leaves). If the waste from *Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides* can be processed into chicken feed through pulverization and microbial fermentation, it can not only reuse the processing waste but also enhance chicken immunity, increase egg production, improve egg quality, and improve chicken meat quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for processing the large amount of inedible parts such as old stems and coarse leaves generated during the processing of *Hedyotis diffusa* (harvesting standard is only to take tender stems and leaves about 10cm), into chicken feed through machine grinding and microbial fermentation. This method enables the recycling of inexpensive waste generated after processing and utilizes the synergistic effects of resveratrol, quercetin, rutin, phytosterols, and active selenium naturally contained in *Hedyotis diffusa* to achieve functional effects such as enhancing chicken immunity, increasing egg production, improving egg quality, and improving chicken meat quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following innovative technical solutions: A method for preparing functional chicken feed using waste from the processing of *Hedyotis diffusa* (a type of herb), the method specifically includes the following steps: S1. Cleaning and raw material grinding First, the waste from the processing of bloodwort is preliminarily cleaned, rotten branches and leaves are picked out, and after being air-dried, it is ground into powder using a pulverizer. S2. Fermentation ratio After completing the first step, thoroughly mix 10-60 parts by weight of bloodwort powder, 10-60 parts by weight of cornmeal, 1-10 parts by weight of oligosaccharides, and 1-10 parts by weight of fermenting probiotics (lactic acid bacteria + yeast, etc.). Then, adjust the moisture content to 40%-60% and pack it into a special feed fermentation bag (sealed but with an exhaust valve). Let it ferment at room temperature for 10-30 days. S3. Granulation and Storage After the second fermentation process is completed, 5-50 parts by weight of the fermented feed and 10-60 parts by weight of commercially available premixed chicken feed are added to a mixer and mixed evenly. Then, the mixture is fed into a pellet mill to produce granulated functional chicken feed. After cooling, the feed is bagged, stored, and stored for later use. Beneficial effects

[0006] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention effectively utilizes the waste left after processing *Zanthoxylum bungeanum*, so that the regenerated functional chicken beverage retains the natural plant-based active selenium and various trace elements of *Zanthoxylum bungeanum*, while also having a positive effect on chickens in terms of anti-coccidiosis, anti-oxidation, and prevention of fatty liver. In particular, it can effectively improve eggshell quality, has antioxidant properties, maintains estrogen balance, enhances vascular permeability and anti-inflammation, competitively inhibits cholesterol absorption, lowers protein cholesterol, promotes growth and egg production, and improves the body's antioxidant capacity.

[0016] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for preparing functional chicken feed using waste from the processing of *Hedyotis diffusa* (a type of wild vegetable) according to the present invention is used to conduct a comparative experiment between multiple 23-week-old free-range chickens of similar weight and ordinary chicken feed, as follows: Experiment 1: 240 healthy 23-week-old free-range chickens of similar weight were selected from the same chicken house and randomly divided into 3 groups of 80 chickens each. Group 1: regular chicken feed; Group 2: regular chicken feed + regular green fodder (water spinach / sweet potato leaves); Group 3: feed supplemented with water spinach. The experiment lasted 28 days.

[0017] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the functional edible chicken feed prepared by the method of the present invention using waste from the processing of *Hedyotis diffusa* is produced from... Figure 2 The comparative data in the table and graph show that feeding animals with feed containing *Gnaphalium affine* significantly increases egg production rate and yield per egg. Example 3

[0018] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for preparing functional chicken feed using waste from the processing of *Hedyotis diffusa* (a type of wild vegetable) according to the present invention is used to conduct a comparative experiment between multiple 23-week-old free-range chickens of similar weight and ordinary chicken feed, as follows: Experiment 2: Ninety 2-month-old broilers of similar weight and good health from the same chicken house were randomly divided into three groups of 30 each. Group 1: regular chicken feed; Group 2: regular chicken feed + regular green fodder (water spinach / sweet potato leaves); Group 3: feed supplemented with water spinach. The experiment lasted for one month, and the meat quality was tested after slaughter.

[0019] The experimental results can be seen from two aspects: 1) Chicken quality varies depending on the type of feed used. Figure 4 It can be seen that, among different feeds, the chicken quality indicators show that, compared with ordinary feed, the feed with added bloodwort generally performs poorly in terms of crude fat digestibility and feed conversion ratio, but performs excellently in terms of fat content, high and low density lipoproteins, SOD, and tenderness, which can improve the quality of broilers.

Experiments were conducted on the content of flavor compounds in chicken meat fed with different feeds, and the test results showed that... Figure 5 The results show that feed supplemented with *Gnaphalium affine* exhibits a significant increase in core amino acids and inosinic acid compared to ordinary feed, demonstrating excellent performance.

[0021] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the technical solution of the preferred embodiment of the present invention effectively utilizes the waste remaining after processing *Zanthoxylum bungeanum*, so that the functional chicken beverage produced by reprocessing retains the original richness of *Zanthoxylum bungeanum* in natural plant active selenium and various trace elements, while also having a positive effect on chickens in terms of anti-coccidiosis, anti-oxidation, and prevention of fatty liver. In particular, it can effectively improve eggshell quality, has antioxidant properties, maintains estrogen balance, enhances vascular permeability and anti-inflammation, competitively inhibits cholesterol absorption, reduces protein cholesterol, promotes growth and egg production, and improves the body's antioxidant capacity.
