The invention discloses a
feed additive for preventing and treating
ruminant rumen acidosis and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of feed additives for
livestock, and the
feed additive is based on the theory of'
spleen tonifying and heat clearing 'of
traditional Chinese medicine and follows the principle of'monarch, minister, assistant and guide'. Monarch drugs such as radix astragali and radix
codonopsis tonify qi and invigorate the
spleen to consolidate the root, ministerial drugs such as rhizoma atractylodis, fructus crataegi and
pericarpium citri reticulatae eliminate dampness and remove food retention to reduce
phlegm,
adjuvant drugs such as
rhizoma coptidis, cortex phellodendri and
gypsum are creatively introduced to clear heat, eliminate dampness, purge fire and remove
toxin, and finally liquorice serves as a conductant
drug to harmonize all the drugs. Compared with the prior art, the
rumen micro-ecological balance and
pH stability can be rapidly recovered and maintained for a long time from multiple ways of enhancing the
digestion function, inhibiting
lactic acid producing
bacteria, promoting
lactic acid utilizing
bacteria and the like. The additive is completely prepared from natural Chinese herbal medicines, is safe, free of residues and good in
palatability, has
nutrition and health care functions, is simple in preparation process, is suitable for ruminants such as dairy cows and
beef cattle, and provides an
effective solution for green and healthy breeding.
