Abstract
Description
APPLICATION OF A GLUTAMINE DERIVATIVE IN THE PREPARATION OF ANIMAL FEED ADDITIVES TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of animal feed additives and, in particular, relates to the use of a glutamine derivative, racemate thereof, stereoisomer thereof, geometric isomer thereof, tautomer thereof, solvate thereof, or a salt thereof acceptable for use in food, in the preparation of animal feed additives; the present invention also relates to a feed composition containing the glutamine derivative, racemate thereof, stereoisomer thereof, geometric isomer thereof, tautomer thereof, solvate thereof, or salt thereof acceptable for use in food, and further relates to the use of the feed composition in the preparation of animal feed additives or animal feed per se. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Generally, amino-acylated glutamine derivatives are intermediates in the production of amide-substituted glutamine derivatives. The reaction of N-acetyl-DL-theanine with the aminoacylase from Aspergillus oryzae to obtain L-theanine under suitable conditions has been reported. The reaction of L-glutamic acid with italic anhydride to obtain phthaloyl-L-glutamic acid, which is subsequently converted to an acid anhydride, has also been reported. The acid anhydride is then subjected to ammonolysis in an aqueous ethylamine solution to obtain phthaloyl-L-theanine, and subsequently, L-theanine is obtained by removing the phthaloyl group from phthaloyl-L-theanine in the presence of hydrazine hydrate. Amino-acylated derivatives of glutamine can synergistically enhance sensory performance. Aqueous solutions of N-acyl-theanine have been reported to have a disappointingly weak fatty taste, but it is possible to complement, enhance, or strengthen both the basic or actual fragrance and the flavor of foods / beverages by combining this compound with flavoring agents and carefully adjusting their levels. Food additives refer to substances added in small or trace amounts during food processing, production, and application. These include both nutritive food additives and general food additives. General food additives are substances added to food in small or trace amounts to ensure and improve food quality and increase its utilization. Currently, commonly used general food additives can increase [amount missing] from [amount missing]. N c The use of feed additives that aim to make feed utilization both efficient and stable, as well as improve animal productivity, primarily includes high-copper agents, high-zinc agents, antibiotics formulated into feed, and chemically synthesized antibacterial agents. However, the long-term use of these substances in animal husbandry can lead to significant side effects, such as liver and kidney toxicity, growth inhibition, kidney damage, urinary tract disorders, teratogenesis, mutagenesis, drug resistance, drug residues, and environmental contamination. To ensure animal health and improve the productive efficiency of animal husbandry, developing novel feed additives that are effective, stable, and safe is an urgent necessity.

Four hundred and eighty 65-day-old bacon pigs of Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire crossbreed and with similar body weights were randomly divided into 16 groups, with 3 replicates per group and 10 pigs (half male and half female) per replicate. The pens and equipment were sterilized prior to the experiment. During the experiment, the piglets were housed in separate areas within the same pen under the same feeding and management conditions. The piglets had free access to drinking water and feed, which was provided twice daily.The groups comprised a control group and treatment groups 2 through 16. The control group received only the basal daily ration, while piglets in treatment groups 2 through 16 received the basal ration in combination with 800 ppm of different glutamine derivatives, as shown in Table 2. No other antioxidants or growth promoters were administered to the treatment groups throughout the experiment. The duration of the experiment was 28 days.On the day the piglets reached 93 days of age and without subjecting them to fasting from water or food for 12 hours, with each replicate being considered as a unit, the average daily feed intake (ADFI, g / d * each piglet), the average daily weight gain (ADG, g / d * each piglet) and the feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. Average daily feed intake = (total weight of feed provided - weight of leftover feed) / (number of days × number of piglets per replicate). Average daily weight gain = (average final body weight average initial body weight) / number of days. Feed conversion ratio = average daily feed intake / average daily weight gain. The results are shown in Table 2, where the effect of the samples on the productive performance of the piglets was evaluated in terms of three aspects: feed intake, weight gain, and feed efficiency.

However, the average daily weight gain of each treatment group increased to varying degrees regardless of the change in feed intake. In terms of feed conversion ratio, a reduction ranging from 4.6% to 7.6% was observed in each treatment group compared to the control group, with treatment groups 8 through 10 exhibiting the most significant results. Example 2: Effect of glutamine derivatives on the productive performance of broiler chickens. The experiment was conducted using a single-factor randomized design. 720 one-day-old yellow broiler chicks of similar body weight (averaging 50 g) were randomly divided into 16 groups, with three replicates per group and an equal number of males and females. Each replicate consisted of 15 yellow broiler chicks. The poultry house and equipment were sterilized before the experiment. During the experiment, the broilers were kept in separate areas within the same poultry house under identical feeding and management conditions. The basal ration consisted primarily of corn and soybean meal. No other antioxidants or growth promoters were administered to any treatment group throughout the experiment.The groups comprised a control group and treatment groups 2 through 16. Broiler chickens in the control group were fed only the basal ration, while broiler chickens in treatment groups 2 through 16 were fed a basal ration in combination with 750 ppm of different glutamine derivatives, as shown in Table 3. The experiment lasted 20 days. Broiler chickens had ad libitum access to feed and drinking water and were fed twice daily.On the day the broiler chickens reached 21 days of age (with a 12-hour food fast, and no water fast), with each repetition being considered as one unit, the body weights of the broiler chickens were measured in order to calculate the average daily feed intake (ADFI, g / d per broiler chicken), the average daily weight gain (ADG, g / d per broiler chicken), and the feed conversion ratio (FCR). Feed conversion ratio (FCR) = Average daily feed intake / Average daily weight gain. Table 3. Effect of glutamine derivatives on the productive performance of broiler chickens.

As can be seen from the results, the samples did not have a significant effect on the feed intake of the broiler chickens. In terms of average daily weight gain, the treatment groups showed a significant increase ranging from 8.7% to 17.4% compared to the control group. The samples showed a significant improvement in the feed conversion ratio of each treatment group, with reductions ranging from 7.6% to 10.9%. Among others, treatment groups 8 through 10, which were supplied with zinc salt, copper salt, and calcium salt of N-benzoyltheanine, showed a reduction ranging from 10.9% to 12.5% compared to the control group.

Healthy, uniformly sized grass carp were raised in large net cages for four weeks prior to the experiment. During the experiment, the grass carp were transferred to small floating net cages. Both the small net cages and the acclimation net cages were placed in a 3,500 m² pond in the experimental yard. The pond was 1.5 m deep, and the water was aerated from the bottom. In the experiment, 520 grass carp, which had been fasted for one day, were randomly divided into 13 groups. Each group consisted of four replicates, and each replicate contained 10 grass carp. The grass carp were weighed, with each replicate being considered as a whole.Subsequently, the animals were randomly released into 52 net cages where they were fed different diets. The diets used in this experiment were prepared according to Table 4, with 500 ppm of different glutamine derivatives added to the basal rations of the different treatment groups. Feed restriction was implemented throughout the experiment, and the amount of feed was adjusted once a week. Both the treatment and control groups were fed twice daily (7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.), with their feed levels (based on initial body weight) being identical to achieve a total of 580 g. The experiment lasted 8 weeks. Calculations: Weight gain (%) = (Average final weight - Average initial weight) / Average initial weight χ 100 Feed coefficient = 580 / (Average of final weight - Average of initial weight). Table 4 shows the effect of different glutamine derivatives on the productive performance of herbivorous carp, which was evaluated in terms of two aspects: the rate of weight gain and the feeding coefficient.
