Feed additive for preventing diarrhea of calves in lactation period and using method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a feed additive for preventing diarrhea of calves in a lactation period and a using method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of feeds.
Background
Calf diarrhea refers to a disease caused by various reasons and characterized by diarrhea in the calf in lactation period, and is manifested by loose stool, soft stool or watery stool, emesis, dehydration, weight loss and the like. The disease can occur all the year round, and especially, the newborn calves within 3 weeks after birth occur more frequently. When the calf diarrhea is raised in a large group, the incidence rate of the calf diarrhea is 90% -100%, the death rate can reach more than 50% at most, and the calf diarrhea is one of the main diseases causing the calf growth and development badness and death. Although the management, the building of animal houses and the vaccination of calves are continuously improved and perfected at present, the diarrhea of calves is still a common disease in a breeding farm, and the calves with diarrhea are also susceptible to respiratory diseases in the later growth process, which causes serious economic loss to the cattle industry. Therefore, how to prevent diarrhea in the calves in lactation is an important part in the production of cattle.
The calf diarrhea occurs and is summarized mainly by the following reasons: (1) the body structure and function of the calf are not completely developed after birth, and the calf has poor environmental adaptability, particularly to the gastrointestinal digestive system, and at the moment, if the temperature is greatly changed, the environment is poor, and the fed feed is not fresh or is deteriorated and moldy, the digestive system is easy to be disordered, and the conditions of dyspepsia and diarrhea are caused; (2) the environmental sanitation condition of the colony house is poor, pathogenic bacteria and viruses are easy to grow and propagate in the environment, and the calf after birth is weak in resistance and easy to infect the pathogenic bacteria and the viruses, so that symptoms such as inappetence, diarrhea and the like are caused; (3) in a large-scale breeding field, bacteria and microorganisms in a colony house are increased rapidly, and calves are easy to infect parasites such as common ascaris, nematodes and the like, and the symptoms of diarrhea, bloody feces, inappetence, dehydration and the like are presented.
Antibiotics are added into daily ration to play a certain role in preventing calf diarrhea, but antibiotic milk or antibiotic daily ration eating has negative effects on the health of calves, so that the problem to be solved at present is to develop a preparation capable of replacing antibiotics to prevent calf diarrhea.
