115890 METHOD FOR PREPARING A MIXTURE, MIXTURE BY THE METHOD, AND USE OF THE MIXTURE

The invention relates to a process for preparing a product mixture as defined in the preamble of claim 1 and to a product mixture as defined in claims 9 and 10 and the use of a product mixture.

The sows' nutritional value is reduced to approximately 1.0 kg / day just before farrowing. The low amount of feed combined with the farrowing causes 10 sows problems such as constipation. Constipation makes it difficult to give birth and reduces the willingness of sows to feed after calving. In turn, stomach dysfunction and poor appetite to eat reduce milk production and hence piglet growth. In addition, weight loss due to a lack of food intake 15 impairs the fertility of sows.

In the past, the functioning of the stomach of the sow has been promoted, for example. sow exercise and different fiber preparations and salts used separately. Fermented fiber products include, for example, wheat bran, straw, fiber oats and commercial salt mixtures (e.g., Karlsbader salt).

'*. * The problem with previously known formulations is that they do not effectively reduce constipation in sows during the 25th parturition. A further problem has been the extremely 'poor palatability of the salt mixtures. Inedible from salted foods not · ,,,! not useful.

The object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above. In particular, tarkoitukse- na invention to provide a method for preparing a novel mixture · s in order, wherein the organic raw material compounds and salts · • »• · 'tämällä provides a tasty and bowel function" ... * promotion of the product.

It is a further object of the invention to provide: a product mixture prepared by a process in which salts can be used without being distinguished from the rest of the product.

As regards the features which characterize the invention, reference is made to the claims.

The product mixture for feeding pigs according to the invention contains flax meal, additional fiber and salts and / or other organic feed materials.

The flax meal contains a lot of fiber. It has a fiber content of about 37%. In addition, Li-10 fatty acids in flax increase resistance and reduce bacterial inflammation in the gut.

In one embodiment of the invention, the additional fiber used in the product mixture is bran, preferably wheat-15 bran.

The salts of the product mixture according to the invention are salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals, preferably sodium and potassium, such as sulfates, carbonates and halides.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention the salts contained in the product mixture are sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and potassium chloride.

In one embodiment of the invention, the product mixture si-25 contains 35-70%, preferably 40-60 *: * ··%, and more preferably 45-55%.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the blend contains 30-60% additional fiber, preferably 35- * 50%, and more preferably 40-45% of the total blend. , 30 weights • »·

Further, in one embodiment of the invention, the product mixture contains from 3% to 15%, preferably from 5% to 10%, and more preferably from 6% to 9% of the total weight of the product mixture. ”·. lift.

In one embodiment of the invention, the composition of the product mixture is: 3 115890

The product mixture according to the invention is prepared by first mixing the salts with flax meal. The salts adhere well to the flax meal and do not sort.

A further fiber such as bran is then added to the mixture of flax meal and salts to form a uniform, even and fluid mixture. The bran added to the mixture has a favorable effect on the composition of the mixture which would otherwise be slightly poorly flowable and tacky.

The product mixture according to the invention is used in the feeding of sows at the time of farrowing together with other food to prevent constipation in the sow. Further, the product mixture is used to improve the willingness to eat after sows.

. An advantage of the product mixture according to the invention is that fiber and salts are combined in the same product.

A further advantage of the invention is that the flax meal contained in the product mixture is tasty to the pig, thereby masking the possibly bad taste of the salt mixture.

; 2 0 Further, wheat bran and flax fiber is to promote bowel movement.

Furthermore, the product mixture according to the invention pellet: lavarouhe contains linseed oil to protect the intestinal mucosa from the sow.

The invention will now be described in the following

• a specific application example.

EXAMPLE

. In some experimental fields, field experiments were performed. In the experiment, sows were given: • 100 to 150 g / day of a new product mix along with other feeding. The new 4115,890 product mix contained 51% flax meal, 41.5% wheat bran, 3.3% Na 2 SO 4, 2.7% Na 2 CO 3, 1.35% NaCl and 0.15% KCl. Feeding of the new product mixture was started about 1 week before farrowing and continued for at least 2 weeks after farrowing, when sow feed is at its peak.

Experiments showed that sows were happy to eat a new product mix. In addition, the stomachs of the sows that ate the new product mix remained well-functional and did not develop constipation. Furthermore, sows that received a new product mix ate about 1 kg more other feed per day than sows that did not feed the new product mixture.

Embodiments of the invention are not limited to the foregoing example, but may vary within the scope of the appended claims.
