The invention relates to the field of
animal nutrition, and discloses application of chicken
egg white lysozyme and a drinking water additive. The invention discloses the defect that the
iron supplement treatment cannot completely recover the functions of the intestinal panning cells and the proliferation capacity of the
epithelium for the first time, and provides the application of the chicken
egg white lysozyme in preparation of the preparation for preventing or treating the secondary intestinal infection after
iron supplement, and the chicken
egg white lysozyme is mixed with edible-grade water-soluble auxiliary materials to prepare the preparation for preventing or treating the secondary intestinal infection after
iron supplement. The preparation is prepared in the form of drinking water, wherein the
specific activity of the chicken egg white lysozyme is gt; the purity is greater than or equal to 95%; the final concentration of the preparation is controlled to be 10-50 U / mL, and when the preparation is used, 100-500 U of chicken egg white lysozyme can be ingested every day in the iron supplementing period, so that intestinal infection after iron supplementing is prevented or treated, and the intestinal
barrier function is recovered. The method is simple and convenient to operate, is suitable for a preventive strategy of large-scale breeding, and can efficiently promote the
recovery of intestinal defense and repair functions, so that the intestinal barrier injury caused by subsequent infection of
pathogenic bacteria (such as
escherichia coli) is remarkably relieved.
