Feed additive for improving meat quality of fattening pigs and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of feeds, and in particular relates to a feed additive for improving the quality of fattening pork, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
China is a big country for pork production and consumption, and for years, the pig industry greatly improves the growth speed and the feed utilization rate of pigs through measures such as genetic breeding, nutrition improvement, environmental control and the like, but the pork quality is obviously reduced. However, as the standard of living increases, people pay more attention to the safety, quality and flavor of pork.
When slaughtering, because muscle glycogen is high in content, glycolysis of sugar is generated to increase the generation of lactic acid, so that the pH is reduced rapidly, and PSE meat is generated; after slaughtering, a large amount of lipid peroxides in the muscle generate oxidation reaction to destroy cell membranes, so that the pH value is reduced, the meat color is lightened, the water holding capacity is reduced, and the quality of pork is reduced.
The feed nutrition not only is the material basis formed by pork, but also directly participates in nutrition metabolism related to meat quality change, and has very important influence on the pork quality. The method improves the oxidation resistance of organisms, delays the reduction of the pH value of muscles, improves the water-binding capacity and the like through short-term nutrition regulation before slaughtering, thereby improving the pork quality, and is a safe, efficient and feasible method.

The following describes the feed additive for improving the meat quality of the fattening pig, and a preparation method and application thereof in an embodiment of the invention.
The feed additive provided by the embodiment of the invention can be added into a fattening pig feed to obviously improve the meat quality and flavor of the fattening pig, simultaneously improve the oxidation resistance of the fattening pig body and reduce the ammonia nitrogen emission. Preferably, the feed additive can be used for preparing a feed for fattening pigs, and the weight percentage of the feed additive in the feed for fattening pigs in the embodiment can be 1%, for example, and the addition amount can enable the cost and the action effect of the feed for fattening pigs to reach the optimal balance.
The feed additive in the embodiment of the invention is obtained by mixing the raw materials and the carrier, wherein the raw materials can comprise 20-40 parts by weight of creatine monohydrate, 5-25 parts by weight of α -lipoic acid, 2-10 parts by weight of carnosine and 2-10 parts by weight of yucca extract, for better matching with the raw materials, the carrier can be 15-71 parts by weight, and the carrier can be defatted rice bran, for example.
The reason for adopting the mixing sequence is that the carnosine and the yucca extract with low specific gravity are mixed with the carrier, so that the carnosine and the yucca extract can be uniformly distributed in the carrier, and the creatine monohydrate and the α -lipoic acid with high specific gravity are added for continuous mixing, so that the components can be uniformly mixed.
In order to make the feed additive in the feed for the growing and fattening pigs more beneficial to the feeding and intestinal absorption of the growing and fattening pigs, the components of the feed additive can be crushed before being added into the feed for the growing and fattening pigs, so that the contact area between digestive enzymes in the fattening pigs before slaughtering and the feed is increased, and the absorption rate is improved. Furthermore, in order to make the size of the crushed particles uniform in the feed additive, the crushed raw material and the carrier may be subjected to a sieving treatment, preferably, the mesh size of the sieve is selected to be 80 mesh, for example, and the raw material and the carrier having the mesh size are more suitable for digestion and absorption by the fattening pigs. In addition, the aperture of the sieve pore can be properly adjusted according to the actual situation.

Wherein, the creatine monohydrate is a monohydrate of the amino acid derivative creatine and is the main form for exogenously supplementing creatine. It can inhibit muscle fatigue, accelerate protein synthesis in livestock, make its muscle stronger, and enhance muscle elasticity. After the creatine monohydrate is fed to livestock and poultry, the occurrence of glycolysis can be relieved and the yield of lactic acid can be reduced by increasing energy storage and improving the carbohydrate metabolism, so that the rapid reduction of the pH value of the livestock and poultry after slaughtering can be relieved, and the effect of improving the conventional meat quality characters can be achieved. In addition, creatine monohydrate also has the function of protecting animal cells in the event of oxidative stress.
α -lipoic acid is a coenzyme existing in mitochondria, belongs to vitamin analogues, has strong inoxidizability, can effectively eliminate free radicals in vivo, and is called a universal antioxidant with lipid solubility and water solubility, particularly, α -lipoic acid is not only a limiting nutrient substance necessary for energy generation of body cells by using energy substances such as saccharides and the like, but also can preserve and regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E and the like, after α -lipoic acid is eaten, α -lipoic acid can participate in energy metabolism in vivo, can act together with other antioxidants in vivo to eliminate free radicals, improve the capability of muscle increasing and fat reducing, can stimulate insulin secretion, and further promote muscle to absorb creatine from blood, therefore, in the embodiment, the creatine monohydrate and α -lipoic acid are mixed to effectively enhance the antioxidant performance of fattening pigs and improve meat quality.
Carnosine, a natural water-soluble dipeptide, is composed of β -alanine and L-histidine, can scavenge active oxygen free Radicals (ROS) such as hydroxyl free radical, singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and the like, which are formed by over-oxidizing fatty acid of cell membranes in the process of oxidative stress, and α - β unsaturated aldehyde, thereby delaying and inhibiting lipid oxidation caused by free radicals or metal ions, reducing lipid oxide, Malondialdehyde (MDA), carbonyl protein complex, aldehydes, ketones and nitroso compounds formed after lipid and protein oxidation after the fat oxidation, avoiding the oxidation products from causing negative changes of flavor, flesh color, tissue and nutritional value of meat and generating toxic substances, effectively improving the flesh color of pork by the combined action of creatine monohydrate and α -lipoic acid, improving the oxidative stability of skeletal muscle of pigs.
The yucca extract is rich in steroid saponin, polysaccharide, resveratrol, and yucca polyphenol, and has no toxic component, no pollution, and no residue. The feed additive is used as one of the components of the feed additive in the embodiment of the invention, and not only can be used as a deodorant to reduce the emission of harmful gases in livestock houses and improve the breeding environment, but also can promote the growth and development of animals, enhance the activity of antioxidase in pigs, eliminate free radicals, thicken intestinal mucosa, inhibit the invasion and reproduction of viruses and harmful bacteria, play a role in regulating the internal environment balance of intestinal tracts, improving the immunity of organisms and reducing the incidence rate of diseases, and improve the quality of pork. In addition, the yucca extract can combine with the odor in intestinal tract, reduce the production of skatole, and further improve the flavor of pork. Specifically, the yucca extract in this embodiment can be obtained by, for example, the following extraction methods: using yucca as raw material, extracting yucca with alcohol solvent such as ethanol under reflux for the first time, and concentrating the extractive solution; extracting the extractive solution with water and n-butanol, collecting and drying n-butanol extractive phase; and finally, carrying out secondary reflux extraction on the n-butanol extract phase by using ether to obtain ether insoluble substances, namely yucca extract.
