Description

  The present invention relates to the effective use of relative parts of taro that have been discarded and not suitable for food, and more particularly to the conversion of waste potatoes into poultry and livestock.

  The taro (scientific name: Colocasia antiquorum SCHOTT) grows into the relatives of the buds with the apex of the seed buds growing and the bases of the seed buds growing, and the bases become pupae as the side buds of the relatives grow. You can make a great-grandson from a spear. Relatives of the seeds for pupae are tasteless and some are being diverted to seed pods and livestock feed, but at present, a large amount of relatives are not edible but discarded.

  The meat quality of taro is divided into powdery, sticky, and intermediate depending on the starch content. These differ depending on the variety, but even in the same variety, the meat quality of relatives and pupae is not necessarily the same. The components of koji are 70-80% moisture, 20% carbohydrates, 1% fiber, 0.7% protein, and 1% ash. Carbohydrate is mainly starch, 71% in solid matter, and also contains galactan, pentozan, etc. It also contains a small amount of oxalic acid, and phytin is also about 1.3% in dry matter. Vitamin A and D are low, but B1 is about 0.14 mg% and C is about 10 mg%. Inorganic is a large amount of potassium, and also contains small amounts of soda, lime, bitter earth, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, silicic acid, iron, copper and the like.

  Because human-infectious diseases such as BSE and avian influenza have become a major social problem, consumers' eyes on the dairy and livestock industries are severe. Under such circumstances, health management of livestock that is directly linked to food security and safety is an important issue. It is known that intestinal microflora plays an important role in host health through its metabolic activity and immunoregulatory ability. In recent years, prebiotics that improve intestinal microbiota (useful) Probiotics (probiotic additives that improve the balance of the intestinal flora) are attracting attention because they are indigestible substances that promote or enhance the growth of fungi.

  In the field of foods, the development and elucidation of functional foods (fermented foods) including yogurt are progressing, and in recent years, various effective microorganisms have been separated and identified by testing methods particularly at the gene level. If these inspection methods can be applied to livestock to clarify the state of gut microbiota in livestock and improve the microbiota, development of functional feeds with so-called prebiotic and probiotic effects Is possible. Yogurt is eaten for nutritional purposes because it is rich in protein and at the same time enhances the assimilation of other foods by promoting the secretion of gastric and intestinal fluids. Even people with a constitution (such as lactase deficiency) that can cause diarrhea or other digestive problems when drinking regular milk can be consumed with yogurt, which is fermented milk with a reduced lactose content. Further, it is well known that the antagonistic effect of yogurt against harmful intestinal bacteria is effective as a therapeutic food for intestinal diseases together with the good digestibility of yogurt.

  Conventionally, fermented feed mainly composed of lactic acid fermentation such as silage is anaerobically fermented by lactic acid bacteria in an airtight container. For example, silage obtained by fermenting moss residues (potato pulp) with filamentous fungi having high lactic acid biogenic performance, and its preparation method (see Patent Document 1) and mushroom fungi that are discarded without being used for foods are silage additives. And what is made into livestock feed (refer patent document 2) is proposed.

JP 2003-265118 A JP 7-147908 A

  However, the potato pulp immediately after the occurrence is poor in the taste of livestock, and since it is concentrated and discharged at a limited time, it tends to rot, and the quality is not stabilized by ordinary silage formation. Therefore, a technique for solving these problems is required.

It was found that raw taro not only has about 60 million / ml of lactic acid bacteria, but is also a special lactic acid bacterium that actively ferments even at low temperatures around 10 ° C. Moreover, since taro contains 20% or more of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) such as fructose and glucose, it was considered possible to effectively use it as a livestock feed by fermentation using microorganisms. As a result of intensive studies on how to use taro relatives as livestock feed, the present inventors have reached the present invention.
An object of the present invention is to effectively use a relative part of taro that has been discarded so far (hereinafter simply referred to as taro), and to provide a silage useful as poultry / livestock feed and a method for preparing the same. And

  Therefore, the silage of the present invention is characterized in that the first characteristic is to use relatives after collecting edibles and the like as edible parts from taro as the main raw material, and to add lactic fermentation with yogurt is the second feature. Features. A third feature is that at least one selected from barley, beet, and bran is used as a secondary raw material. Further, the silo in this adjustment method has a fourth feature that it requires strict airtightness, and the silage obtained here has a fifth feature that the pH is lowered to about 4.0 and the fermentation is finished. And Furthermore, the sixth feature is that another silage is mixed and fermented again using this silage as a fermentation substrate.

  The present invention not only provides good silage with high nutritional value and high palatability for poultry and livestock, but also improves the quality of poultry and livestock. Furthermore, since it can be used as a silage for general food residue treatment, the food residue can be effectively used and the cost can be reduced.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the following examples.

  First, Table 1 shows the results of analysis of the viable counts of pasture grasses (Timothy, Lusan) and taro samples obtained by sampling the flora in a 500 kg tank prepared with taro silage at the surface layer, upper layer, and middle layer.

  As can be seen from Table 1, taro originally has a large amount of lactic acid bacteria. That is, it can be seen that taro can be sufficiently fermented in a raw state.

The silage yogurt of the present invention is produced as follows.
First, raw milk is heated to 60 ° C. to 65 ° C., preferably 60 ° C., by a conventional method. Next, this raw material liquid is homogenized. By this homogenization treatment, a yogurt stock solution in which milk fat globules are finely dispersed is obtained, and this is then sterilized and cooled. Sterilization is performed by batch sterilization at a temperature of 70 ° C. to 75 ° C. for about 30 minutes. Thereby, although harmful bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, are killed and active, protein denaturation can be prevented. Subsequently, after adding a lactic acid bacteria starter (cultured with skim milk) according to a conventional method, fermentation culture is performed to obtain a yogurt card. The yogurt curd is stirred to obtain a liquid yogurt. Yogurt is obtained by adding commercially available lactic acid bacteria and plant lactic acid bacteria originally developed using skim milk or skim milk powder.

The taro was washed with water and cut with a chopper to prepare silage in a 1 liter plastic silo. 1% by weight of yogurt was added. Yogurt was a starter of lactic acid bacteria (D-Culture R-707 and Yo-Fast1), and the number of lactic acid bacteria was 3 × 10 ⁹ per gram. As an auxiliary material, 20% by weight of bran was added. Fusuma has two effects: sugar reinforcement and moisture control. In addition, barley or beet may be used as an auxiliary material instead of bran.

  The silo was left at room temperature and opened after 63 days to examine the fermentation quality of the silage. The results are shown in Table 2.

  As is clear from Table 2, the water content of taro was 88.0%, and the CP (crude protein) content and WSC (water-soluble carbohydrate) content in the dried product were 11.1% and 21.3%, respectively. It was. In addition, the generation of butyric acid, which causes rot odor, was not observed.

  In order to compare with the obtained silage, Table 3 shows the water content of timothy and alfalfa, the CP (crude protein) content, and the WSC (water-soluble carbohydrate) content in dry matter, which are usually used as feed.

  The results obtained for the quality of the prepared taro silage are shown in Table 4.

  As can be seen from Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7, the number of lactic acid bacteria is stable at ~ 900 million / g out of 10 million / g, and the pH is as low as about 4.0. The coliforms die. Lactic acid and acetic acid are produced in taro silage, and especially because acetic acid has a very high numerical value, it has high bactericidal properties and excellent storage stability. Moreover, the preference of livestock was good, the quality as silage was good, and the preference for poultry and livestock was very good.

Next, with chicken as the target livestock, taro silage was fed and a microbiota improvement test was conducted.

did.

Survey items: Intestinal flora (cecal contents)
For the test of chicken OTU (convenient classification), classification was made with reference to OTU established in human intestinal flora. When the bacterial flora in the cecum of the group fed with taro silage in chickens and the group given in the existing formulation design were compared by OTU, the improvement of the bacterial flora was confirmed in the group fed with taro silage. In particular, the increase in lactic acid bacteria is thought to have increased in the stomach and duodenum, passing through without being killed and reaching the cecum. From this, it is considered that the lactic acid bacteria contained in the given feed or the components in the feed increased by affecting the lactic acid bacteria existing in the cecum. The above results indicate that taro silage is a functional feed. In particular, a prebiotic effect was observed because the bacterial flora existing in the caecum was improved.

Survey items: 2. Meat quality: Fat melting point and TAB value

表８及び図３から分かるように、肉質の融点とＴＡＢ価では変化は見受けられなかったことで、配合飼料に対してサトイモで４０％代替しても肉質は配合区と同様の結果が得られることが分かった。腸内細菌叢の結果は、ＢｓｉＩで消化したときの各検体のＯＴＵにおけるピーク面積比を図１に示した。

As can be seen from Table 8 and FIG. 3, no change was observed in the melting point and TAB value of the meat quality, so that even if 40% of the mixed feed was replaced with taro, the meat quality was the same as in the mixed zone I understood that. As a result of the intestinal microflora, the peak area ratio in OTU of each specimen when digested with BsiI is shown in FIG.

  Although it may be different from the taxonomic group estimated by the cecal flora of chickens, the human intestinal flora taxonomic group estimated by each OTU is shown in FIG. 2 as a reference. In OTU, the 338 value was Clostridium 11, which was not detected in the blending group, but only 2.0 in the taro silage group. In addition, in the 369 value Clostridium 4, the value of 14.0 in the blending group increased by about 4 times to 20.0 in the taro silage group. Clostridium 11 is classified as Clostridium baruetii 11 and Clostridium 4 is classified as Clostridium orbiscindens. In addition, the 657 value was lactic acid bacteria, and the blending group was 1.5, while the taro silage group was 4.0, an increase of about 3 times. This taxon belongs to the genus Lactobacillus and Streptococcus. From this result, it can be seen that by giving taro silage from the age of 10 days after birth, the intestinal bacterial flora was improved as compared with the combination group. This is probably a result of the effect of the bacterial flora of the taro silage being fed.

  Tables 9 and 10 show the results of analysis when taro silage was used as a processing method for feeding food industry waste to livestock. This time, the analysis results of mixed silage with 25% taro silage, 25% okara and 50% mixed feed were shown. Good quality silage was obtained even with 25% taro silage + 35% okara + 40% mixed feed. In addition to Okara, similar results can be obtained by mixing 35% of food residue in hospitals and mixing silage.

  It became clear that taro silage was mixed with food residues and turned into silage was a new method for the conversion of food industry waste into livestock feed.

It is a graph which shows the bacterial group estimated by the bacterial flora (flora) of the caecum contents of a chicken. It is a graph which shows the bacterial group estimated by the human intestinal microflora (flora). It is a graph which shows TAB (oxidation) of a chicken.
