The invention belongs to the technical field of feed additives, and particularly relates to a
feed additive for improving the growth performance and meat quality of mutton sheep and application of the
feed additive. In order to solve the problem that the growth performance and meat quality of mutton sheep cannot be improved by adopting
plant extracts as feed additives in the prior art, the invention provides a
feed additive for improving the growth performance and meat quality of mutton sheep, and the feed additive comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 70-90% of chicory leavening, 5-15% of
sophora flower
bud extract and 5-15% of
pine bark extract. According to the feed, firstly, the chicory is fermented to prepare a fermented product, the
utilization rate of the chicory is increased, the
sophora flower
bud extract and the
pine bark extract are added, an additive composed of the
sophora flower
bud extract, the
pine bark extract and the sophora flower bud extract can be directly used as a concentrate supplement of the mutton sheep, under the synergistic effect of the sophora flower bud extract, the pine
bark extract and the sophora flower bud extract, the growth performance of the mutton sheep is jointly improved, and especially the quality of mutton is remarkably improved; a new way is developed for the utilization of the chicory, and a new additive combination is provided for improving the mutton quality.
