The invention discloses a biological additive for promoting
poultry feather development and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
animal breeding. The biological additive is prepared from
scallop skirt
oligopeptide and stiff silkworm polypeptide according to the
mass ratio of 1: 1. Animal experiments show that when 60 mg of the biological additive is added into every 1 kg of basic feed to feed broilers, the growth of the broilers can be promoted, and more importantly, the
feather development of the broilers can be remarkably and synergistically promoted, and the length of main wing
feather is obviously increased. The
cytology research further proves that the biological additive can synergistically promote the proliferation of the poultry
hair follicle epidermal stem cells, and the effect of the biological additive is superior to that of EGF
positive control. Therefore, the biological additive developed by the invention is safe, efficient and green, effectively solves the problems of
drug residue and
drug resistance possibly caused by the traditional chemical additive, provides a sustainable solution for poultry breeding, and has important economic and application values.
