Description

  The present invention relates to a feed, a feed production apparatus, and a feed production method, and more particularly to a feed, a feed production apparatus, and a feed production method that are given when a cow is raised.

  Generally, it is practiced to eliminate anorexia or diarrhea by giving glucose at the time of loss of appetite or diarrhea in growing cattle (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Glucose is a typical monosaccharide and is one of the substances that become the energy of animal and plant activities, but because of its poor palatability, growing cows do not try to drink much. Therefore, it is known that when a sugar with good palatability is given, nurturing cattle drink and drink (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Sugar is mainly composed of sucrose. This sucrose is a disaccharide (glucose + fructose) having the chemical formula C ₁₂ H ₂₂ O ₁₁ , and is generally extracted from sugar cane or sugar beet to increase its purity and crystallize. In addition, bacus which is the remaining rice cake obtained by extracting sucrose from sugarcane is used as a feed, but has poor palatability.

  However, if you continue to give sugar to growing cattle, the cost is high. On the other hand, apples produced in Japan and bananas imported from abroad are often discarded without being used, for example, for appearance reasons before being shipped to the market. Fruits such as apples and bananas contain a large amount of fructose with a strong sweetness.

Fructose is a monosaccharide having the molecular formula C ₆ H ₁₂ O ₆ , and is said to have the strongest sweetness and become sweeter as the temperature decreases.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a feed, a feed production apparatus, and a feed production method that can be continuously fed to growing cattle at a low cost.

  The invention that is the basis of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the basic invention) is a feed that is given when anorexia or diarrhea is raised in growing cattle, and contains fruit juice, and the amount of carbohydrates contained in the juice is substantially constant. (3.5 to 4.5% by weight).

  In this case, the feed is contained in the fruit juice, and the amount of sugar contained in the fruit juice is set to be substantially constant (3.5 to 4.5% by weight), so that the feed has a strong sweetness and good palatability. It will be a thing. Therefore, when given in the case of loss of appetite or diarrhea of the growing cow, the growing cow eats happily, so it is possible to easily resolve the loss of appetite or diarrhea. Moreover, the use of fruits that are originally discarded makes them extremely inexpensive.

  However, if a large amount of sugar was continuously given to the growing cow, there was a problem that the rumen wall and the like eventually became abnormal and the sugar was difficult to be absorbed from the capillaries. For this reason, the said basic invention was able to be applied only temporarily at the time of diarrhea etc. of a breeding cow. Therefore, the present invention is a feed to be fed to growing cows, characterized by including fruit juice and adjusting the amount of carbohydrates contained in the fruit juice according to the age of the growing cow.

  According to the present invention, fruit juice is included in the feed, and the amount of sugar contained in the fruit juice is adjusted according to the age of the growing cow. By solving the problem of causing abnormalities in the stomach wall and making it difficult for the carbohydrates to be absorbed from the capillaries, it is possible to continuously resolve the loss of appetite in the growing cattle and achieve a smooth weight gain. Moreover, the use of fruits that are originally discarded makes them extremely inexpensive.

  For example, as in the invention described in claim 2, the amount of the carbohydrate is adjusted to be approximately 2% by weight from the time of introduction of the breeding cow to 60 days, and the age of the month after 60 days from the introduction of the breeding cow. It is preferable to adjust to approximately 0% by weight until 22 months, and to adjust to approximately 1.5% by weight after 22 months of age of the growing cow.

  By the way, if only the sugar is continuously given to the growing cow, there is a concern that the meat quality may be affected by the lack of vitamin C and vitamin B1. Then, like the invention of Claim 3, it is preferable to adjust the ratio of vitamin C and vitamin B1 contained in fruit juice according to the age of the growing cow.

  According to invention of Claim 3, since the ratio of the vitamin C and vitamin B1 contained in fruit juice was adjusted according to the age of the growing cow, the influence on meat quality when giving only sugar decreases. .

  For example, as in the invention of claim 4, the ratio of vitamin C and vitamin B1 is adjusted so that vitamin B1 is higher than vitamin C from the time of introduction of the breeding cow to 60 days, while It is preferable to adjust so that vitamin C is greater than vitamin B1 after 22 months of age.

  The invention according to claim 5 is a feed production apparatus to be given to growing cattle, a juicer mixer or squeezer for producing fruit juice containing at least sugar, a dedicated tank for storing the produced fruit juice, A means for adsorbing the juice stored in the dedicated tank to the adsorbent prepared separately with the sugar content adjusted according to the age of the growing cattle, and the adsorbent adsorbed with the juice And a dryer that dries only with temperature-controlled air.

  According to the invention of claim 5, fruit juice containing at least sugar is produced, the produced fruit juice is stored in a dedicated tank, and the fruit juice stored in the dedicated tank is the age of the growing cow. Adsorbed by a separately prepared adsorbent in a state adjusted to the corresponding sugar content, and the adsorbent adsorbed with fruit juice is dried only with temperature-controlled air, so it is originally discarded. By using this fruit, a very inexpensive feed can be obtained, and by giving this feed, the loss of appetite of the growing cattle can be resolved continuously and a smooth weight gain can be realized.

  The invention according to claim 6 is a feed production method to be given to growing cattle, producing fruit juice containing at least carbohydrates, storing the produced fruit juice in a dedicated tank, and storing it in a dedicated tank. Oita juice is adsorbed on a separately prepared adsorbent with the sugar content adjusted to the age of the growing cow, and the adsorbent adsorbed with juice is only temperature-controlled air. It is characterized by drying.

  According to invention of Claim 6, there exists an effect similar to invention of Claim 5.

  According to the present invention, fruit juice is included in the feed, and the amount of sugar contained in the fruit juice is adjusted according to the age of the growing cow. By solving the problem of causing abnormalities in the stomach wall and making it difficult for the carbohydrates to be absorbed from the capillaries, it is possible to continuously resolve the loss of appetite in the growing cattle and achieve a smooth weight gain. Moreover, the use of fruits that are originally discarded makes them extremely inexpensive.

  According to the inventions of claims 4 and 5, fruit juice containing at least sugar is produced, the produced fruit juice is stored in a dedicated tank, and the fruit juice stored in the dedicated tank is the age of the growing cow The adsorbent, which is adsorbed by a separately prepared adsorbent and is adsorbed with fruit juice, is dried only with temperature-controlled air, and is originally discarded. By using the processed fruit, a very inexpensive feed can be obtained, and by giving this feed, the loss of appetite of the growing cattle can be resolved continuously and a smooth weight gain can be realized.

It is a whole lineblock diagram of a feed production device concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is explanatory drawing of a dryer, Comprising: (a) is a whole block diagram, (b) is a partial block diagram. It is process drawing of the feed production method which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the relationship between the carbohydrate content of feed, and evaluation. It is explanatory drawing which shows the relationship between the age of a breeding cow, and content of the carbohydrate in feed.

  As described above, many fruits such as apples produced in Japan and bananas imported from abroad are discarded without being used for reasons of appearance, for example. Such fruits are known to contain a large amount of carbohydrates, vitamin C and vitamin B1.

  Therefore, the present inventor pays attention to the fruit as a raw material of the feed, and in order to solve the problems in the basic invention, includes the fruit juice in the feed given to the breeding cow and the amount of the sugar contained in the juice. Was adjusted according to the age of the growing cattle. That is, at the age of about 8 to 10 months (hereinafter referred to as the first half) corresponding to 60 days from the introduction of the breeding cow, the more sugar contained in the feed given to the breeding cow, the better the palatability, and the breeding cow Both on the positive side of appetite increase and on the negative side that if a large amount of carbohydrates are given to growing cattle, the rumen wall will eventually become abnormal, making it difficult for the carbohydrates to be absorbed from the capillaries. The feed was evaluated, and after 22 months of age (hereinafter referred to as the latter half), the feed was evaluated mainly from the influence on the meat quality.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the carbohydrate content of the feed and the evaluation. The circles in Fig. 4 are for the case where a feeding amount of about 1.75% of the body weight is given to each of the growing cows over 90 in the first half. This is the case. The vertical axis in FIG. 4 is a carbohydrate (% by weight) contained in the feed, and the horizontal axis is the evaluation of the feed. As indicated by the circles in FIG. 4, when the carbohydrate content of the first half of the feed is less than 1.5% by weight, the palatability is poor and it takes about 40 minutes to complete the meal, which is a bad evaluation. When the carbohydrate content of the feed is 1.5% by weight, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to complete the meal, which is a normal evaluation. When the saccharide content of the feed is 2.0% by weight, the palatability is good, so the food is completely eaten in 15 to 20 minutes, which is a good evaluation. When the carbohydrate content of the feed is 3.0% by weight, the evaluation is normal, and when the carbohydrate content of the feed is 4.5% by weight, the rumen wall is abnormal. Yes.

  If the carbohydrate content of the latter half of the feed is less than 1.5% by weight, it is bad evaluation, but if the carbohydrate content of the feed is 1.5% by weight, so-called marbling good meat quality can be obtained. It is a good evaluation. When the carbohydrate content of the feed is 2.5% by weight, the evaluation is normal, and when the carbohydrate content of the feed is 4.5% by weight, the meat quality is affected. ing. In the hot summer and severe cold winter, the palatability is poor, but as before, the first half of the feed has a carbohydrate content of 2.0% by weight, and the latter half The carbohydrate content of the feed was 1.5% by weight, which was the best evaluation.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the age of growing cattle and the content of carbohydrates in the feed. The vertical axis in FIG. 5 is the amount of sugar (% by weight) contained in the feed, and the horizontal axis is the age of the growing cow. Here, based on the evaluation results of FIG. 4, as shown by the thick line in FIG. 5, in the first half, a feed having a carbohydrate content of 2% by weight was given almost daily, and the weight gained by increasing the appetite of the growing cattle On the other hand, in the latter half, it was decided to give a feed with a sugar content of 1.5% by weight for about 4 to 6 days a month to obtain so-called marbling quality meat. In addition, since feed (conventional feed) with a carbohydrate content of 0% by weight is given between the first half and the second half, the feed is switched at those points.

  In addition, among fruits, for example, peeled bananas, pineapples, etc. contain only a lot of sugar, and for example, papaya, mango, tangerines, apples, etc. contain a lot of vitamin B1 in addition to sugars, For example, it is known that kiwifruit, lemon and the like contain a lot of vitamin C in addition to carbohydrates. Vitamin B1 affects appetite and vitamin C affects meat quality. Therefore, when the carbohydrate content in FIG. 5 is 2.0% by weight, the content ratio of vitamin B1 and vitamin C is set to 4: 1 to further increase the appetite of the breeding cattle and the carbohydrate content is When the content was 1.5% by weight, the content ratio of vitamin B1 and vitamin C was set to 3: 7, so that even better quality meat was obtained. Adjustment of the content ratio of vitamin B1 and vitamin C is performed according to the type and amount of the fruit 2 to be used. For that purpose, dried products (described later) made from different kinds of fruits were mixed appropriately. In this way, the ratio between vitamin B1 and vitamin C contained in the fruit juice was also changed according to the age of the growing cow.

  Hereinafter, a comparative test between the feed according to the present embodiment and the conventional feed was performed. Table 1 shows blood test results when breeding cattle are raised in the control plot using conventional feed, and Table 2 shows blood test results when breeding cattle are raised in the test plot using feed according to this embodiment. . Here, it is assumed that the total weight of feed fed to the growing cow is the same. In addition, the blood test results are arbitrarily plotted from those conducted on a large number of breeding cattle in the animal medicine laboratory of the Hokkaido Ashoro Agricultural Cooperative.

表１において、例えば、「対１」は、対照区に導入したばかり（導入時）の育成牛であって、月齢が９．８であり、体重は３６０（ｋｇ）である。そして、血液検査によると、ビタミンＡが６８．０２（ＩＵ）であり、βカロチンが３０２．６３（ＩＵ）である。また、「対２」は、導入時から６０日を経過する前（切替前）の育成牛であって、月齢が１０．８であり、体重は３８８（ｋｇ）である。そして、血液検査によると、ビタミンＡが５３．７９（ＩＵ）であり、βカロチンが２９７．８５（ＩＵ）である。

In Table 1, for example, “vs. 1” is a breeding cow that has just been introduced into the control group (at the time of introduction), has a month of age of 9.8, and has a weight of 360 (kg). According to a blood test, vitamin A is 68.02 (IU) and β-carotene is 302.63 (IU). “Pair 2” is a breeding cow before 60 days from the introduction (before switching), the age is 10.8, and the body weight is 388 (kg). According to a blood test, vitamin A is 53.79 (IU) and β-carotene is 297.85 (IU).

  That is, from the time of introduction of a breeding cow to before switching, the body weight is increased by 28 (kg), vitamin A is decreased by 14.23 (IU), and β-carotene acting as vitamin A in the body of the cow is also 4. It was found that it decreased by 78 (IU) (β-carotene is grasped by the blood concentration of cattle). When this β-carotene is decreased, vitamin A may be deficient, particularly during cattle breeding, which may cause problems such as decreased body weight gain. In addition, it is thought that the reduction | decrease of vitamin A is caused by the stress at the time of introduction | transduction of a breeding cow. Hereinafter, the relationship between “pair 3” and “pair 4”, the relationship between “pair 5” and “pair 6”,..., The relationship between “pair 11” and “pair 12” is substantially the same.

表２において、例えば、「試１」は、試験区に導入したばかり（導入時）の育成牛であって、月齢が８．７であり、体重は３３１（ｋｇ）である。そして、血液検査によると、ビタミンＡが９９．８１（ＩＵ）であり、βカロチンが７６．３９（ＩＵ）である。また、「試２」は、導入時から６０日経過する前（切替前）の育成牛であって、月齢が１０．７であり、体重は４１６（ｋｇ）である。そして、血液検査によると、ビタミンＡが４３．６７（ＩＵ）であり、βカロチンが３１８．８２（ＩＵ）である。

In Table 2, for example, “Trial 1” is a breeding cow that has just been introduced into the test zone (at the time of introduction), has a age of 8.7, and has a weight of 331 (kg). According to a blood test, vitamin A is 99.81 (IU) and β-carotene is 76.39 (IU). Further, “Trial 2” is a breeding cow 60 days after the introduction (before switching), the age is 10.7, and the body weight is 416 (kg). According to the blood test, vitamin A is 43.67 (IU) and β-carotene is 318.82 (IU).

  That is, from the time of introduction of the breeding cow to before switching, the body weight has increased by 85 (kg) and vitamin A has decreased by 56.14 (IU), but β-carotene that acts as vitamin A in the bovine body Is increased by 242.43 (IU), and it is understood that vitamin A is not deficient particularly during the breeding of cattle, and there is no risk of causing problems such as decreased body weight gain. In addition, it is thought that the reduction | decrease of vitamin A is caused by the stress at the time of introduction | transduction of a breeding cow. Hereinafter, the relationship between “Trial 3” and “Trial 4”, the relationship between “Trial 5” and “Trial 6”,... And the relationship between “Trial 11” and “Trial 2” are almost the same.

  Thereby, in the feed which concerns on this embodiment, while containing the sugar of the fruit juice made from the fruit, vitamin C or vitamin B1, and adjusting those contents according to the age of the growing cow, the growing cow If a large amount of carbohydrates is continuously given to the stomach, it will eventually lead to abnormalities in the rumen wall, making it difficult for the carbohydrates to be absorbed from the capillaries, and continuously eliminating anorexia in the growing cattle. Can achieve a significant weight gain and less influence on meat quality. Moreover, the use of fruits that are originally discarded makes them extremely inexpensive. Especially for vitamin C and vitamin B1, since artificially produced ones are very expensive, the effect of cost reduction is great.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a feed production apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the dryer 7, wherein (a) is an overall configuration diagram and (b) is a partial configuration diagram. Hereinafter, the apparatus 1 to which the feed production method according to the present embodiment can be applied will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 1, this feed production apparatus 1 produces a product 9 as feed according to this embodiment, and produces juice from a plurality of types of fruits (raw materials A, B, C) 2. Mixer 3a or squeezing machine 3b, a plurality of dedicated tanks (tanks A, B, C) 4 for storing the juice produced by juicer mixer 3a or squeezing machine 3b, respectively, and each dedicated tank 4 respectively. A sugar meter 5 as a means for adsorbing the adsorbent 6 on the adsorbent 6 in a state in which the fruit juice is adjusted to have a content of carbohydrate, vitamin C or vitamin B1 according to the age of the growing cow, A drier 7 is provided that dries the adsorbent 6 adsorbing fruit juice with hot air to produce a dried product 8. Each element is appropriately connected by a transfer conveyor, a piping line, or the like according to the transfer target.

  As the raw material A of the fruit 2, for example, a banana with skin, pineapple, etc., which contains only a saccharide, for example, as a raw material B, for example, papaya, mango, mandarin, apple, etc. Of those that have a lot of vitamin C, such as fruits and lemons, those that are out of the standard for distribution as products are used. Since all of these fruits 2 contain the amount of sugar required for growing cows, they have good palatability like sugar.

  Therefore, when a feed containing fruit juice made from the fruit 2 is given at the time of anorexia of the breeding cow, the breeding cow eats the feed and can easily eliminate the loss of appetite. Moreover, by using the non-standard fruit 2 that is originally discarded, it becomes extremely inexpensive. As a judgment material of good or bad palatability, in the comparison results in Tables 1 and 2 above, a feed amount of about 1.75% of the body weight was given to a growing cow of about 8 to 10 months of age. As described above, when the palatability is poor, it takes about 40 minutes. When the palatability is normal, it takes about 30-40 min. When the palatability is good, it is found that the meal is completed in about 15-20 min. However, the trend is almost the same in the hot summer and the cold winter, although it takes longer.

  As the juicer mixer 3a, the one provided with a multistage rotating blade in a cylindrical container with a lid so as to be replaceable is used. For example, with a peeled banana, four normal rotating blades are used, and with a pineapple, six stable rotating blades are used. As the squeezing machine 3b, a multistage roller pair is provided in a container with a lid having an inverted truncated cone shape, and each roller gap can be adjusted independently according to the variety and size of the fruit 2.

  The dedicated tank 4 includes three sub-tanks (first, second, and third sub-tanks 4a to 4c) each having a cylindrical container with a lid, of which the first and second sub-tanks 4a and 4b are Fruit juice can be stored refrigerated. This is because there is a risk of alteration when the storage temperature changes. The first sub tank 4a exclusively stores fruit juice made by the juicer mixer 3a or the like. The second sub tank 4b is provided with a sugar content meter 5, and the sugar content can be adjusted by adding about 1/3 of water to the fruit juice introduced from the first sub tank 4a. The third sub tank 4c is provided with a stirrer (not shown), and the juice introduced from the second sub tank 4b is appropriately showered while the adsorbent 6 is put in the container and stirred, so that the juice is It is made to adsorb | suck to the adsorbent 6. FIG.

  As the adsorbent 6, rice bran or wheat bran is used. These are the parts of the skin that are removed from wheat, etc. (outer skin and germ), which have been mainly used as cattle feed in Japan, but are rich in fiber and minerals in addition to starch and protein. It is known that

  As the dryer 7, a dryer that uses only temperature-controlled air is used. Specifically, in FIG. 2A, the dryer 7 has a semi-cylindrical conveyance path 72 that is a so-called “jigazaku” from an inlet 711 at the upper right of the box 71 toward an outlet 712 at the lower left. A so-called conveyor system is adopted. Then, when the adsorbent 6 is introduced from the inlet 711, after passing through the transport path 72, it returns to the original inlet 711 repeatedly for a set time by a timer (not shown), and then sequentially exits from the outlet 712. It has become. In order to prevent the adsorbent 6 passing through the conveyance path 72 from dropping out of the conveyance path 72 at the folded portion at the end thereof, a baffle plate 76 is disposed at an appropriate position in the box 71.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the conveyance path 72 is composed of a mesh-shaped and semi-circular body 721 and a mesh-shaped and flat lid 722, and in the vicinity of the inlet 711 in the uppermost stage. Then, the convex surface of the main body 721 faces downward, and the lid 722 stands upright so that the upper side of the main body 721 is open. Therefore, the adsorbent 6 is introduced from the upper side of the main body 721. When the main body 721 is dropped to the next stage, the lid 722 falls into the open portion of the main body 721, closes it, and a lock (not shown) is applied. Therefore, even if the convex surface of the main body 721 faces upward, the adsorbent 6 does not jump out of the main body 721 and repeats upside down. Then, in the vicinity of the outlet 712 in the lowermost step, the convex surface of the main body 721 faces upward, the lock is released, and the lid 722 hangs down, so that the lower side of the main body 721 is opened, and the adsorbent 6 is removed. It is to be paid out. The mesh between the main body 721 and the lid 722 is set slightly smaller than the size of the adsorbent 6.

  A heating unit 73 that generates hot air is disposed outside the box 71. The heating unit 73 includes an electric heater 731 and a blower 732. The outside air sucked from the duct 79 is heated by the electric heater 731 to be warm air, and the warm air is pumped by the blower 732 to be sent into the box 71 through the duct 77. Yes. The adsorbent 6 passing through the conveyance path 72 is heated by the hot air sent into the box 71 and the hot air is further circulated by returning it from the box 71 to the heating unit 73 via the duct 78. It has become.

  The circulating hot air is agitated by a fan 74 disposed at an appropriate location such as in the box 71 and the electric heater of the heating unit 73 is controlled by a controller (not shown) based on a temperature detection signal from the temperature sensor 75. By controlling the temperature of the fan 74 together with 731 and the blower 732, the temperature in the box 71 can be maintained in the range of 80 ° C. to 90 ° C. By such various devices, the dryer 7 was able to have a compact configuration with excellent drying efficiency.

  Here, the temperature of the air for drying is set to 80 ° C. or higher because if the temperature is lower than that temperature, the drying time of the adsorbent 6 becomes longer and the production efficiency is lowered. This is because it is almost impossible to expect and the storage stability of the product 9 is extremely deteriorated. The reason why the temperature of the drying air is set to 90 ° C. or less is that when the temperature is higher than that, vitamin C or vitamin B1 contained in the adsorbent 6 is easily broken, and the yield of the product 9 is reduced. Therefore, by keeping the temperature of the air for drying substantially constant, the drying time of the adsorbent 6 can be shortened, the production efficiency can be improved, and the sterilization can be sufficiently performed. Moreover, vitamin C or vitamin B1 contained in the adsorbent 6 can be made difficult to break, and the yield can be increased. As a result, the production cost of the feed is greatly reduced, and moisture is removed from the adsorbent 6 on which the fruit juice is adsorbed to about 11% by weight, whereby the preservability of the adsorbent 6 is improved. .

  Subsequently, a schematic operation of the feed production apparatus 1 will be described. In addition, this production method is embodied through this operation. FIG. 3 is a process diagram thereof.

  In FIG. 3, fruit juice containing only a saccharide is obtained by first applying the raw material A such as a peeled banana or pineapple to the juicer mixer 3 a in the fruit 2. Moreover, fruit juice containing much vitamin B1 in addition to carbohydrates is obtained by applying the raw material B, such as papaya, mango, mandarin orange, and apple, to the squeezing machine 3b. Furthermore, by applying the raw material C such as kiwifruit and lemon to the squeezing machine 3b, fruit juice containing a large amount of vitamin C in addition to carbohydrates is obtained (step S1). Here, the skin of the pineapple which becomes the residue of the raw material A is separated from the fruit juice and discarded, but the squeezed waste of the raw materials B and C is collected in a storage container (not shown) to be used separately.

  The fruit juice obtained in step S1 is stored in the first sub tank 4a of the dedicated tank 4 (step S2). However, when storing fruit juice for a long period of time, it is preferable to store it in a refrigerator to prevent its alteration. The fruit juice stored in the first sub-tank 4a of each dedicated tank 4 in step S2 is then transferred to the second sub-tank 4b, and the sugar content meter 5 is adjusted so as to have a sugar content according to the age of the growing cow. The sugar content is adjusted by adding water while watching (step S3). The fruit juice whose sugar content is adjusted is further transferred to the third sub-tank 4c and mixed with a powdery adsorbent 6 prepared separately while stirring with a stirrer (not shown), thereby adsorbing the adsorbent 6 ( Step S4).

  The adsorbent 6 on which the fruit juice has been adsorbed in Step 4 is put in a dryer 7 and dried with warm air to produce a dried product 8 (Step S5). Here, also about the squeezed residue collected in the storage container, the water content is adjusted by adding water while looking at a sugar meter (not shown), and then put into a dryer 7 and dried in warm air to produce a dried product 8 And These dried products 8 are appropriately mixed to form a final product (feed) 9 (step S6).

  According to the feed production apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, fruit 2 fruit juice containing carbohydrate and vitamin C or vitamin B1 is produced, and the produced fruit juice is stored in the dedicated tank 4 and is stored in the dedicated tank. The adsorbent 6 adsorbed by the adsorbent 6 is adsorbed on the adsorbent 6 prepared separately in a state in which the fruit juice stored in 4 is adjusted to have a sugar content according to the age of the growing cow. It is dried only with temperature-controlled air. As a result, by using the originally discarded fruit, a very inexpensive feed can be obtained, and by giving this feed to the growing cattle, as described above, the loss of appetite in the growing cattle can be resolved continuously. As well as achieving a steady weight gain, good meat quality can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, three types of raw materials A, B, and C are illustrated as the fruit 2, but two or four or more types may be used. However, in that case, it is necessary to provide a dedicated tank 4 for each type of fruit 2.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the adsorbent prepared separately in the three sub tanks of the exclusive tank 4 in the state which adjusted the stored fruit juice so that it might become content of the carbohydrate according to the age of the breeding cow Although the sugar content meter 5 and the stirrer (not shown) as the means to be adsorbed by 6 are appropriately equipped, such means may be provided separately from the dedicated tank 4.

  In the above embodiment, one squeezer 3b is used for a plurality of types of fruits 2, but a squeezer 3b may be provided for each type of fruit 2.

  In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the term “vitamin C” or “vitamin B1” in the fruit juice of the fruit 2 may be replaced with not only one of them but also both of them.

However, if a large amount of sugar was continuously given to the growing cow, there was a problem that the rumen wall and the like eventually became abnormal and the sugar was difficult to be absorbed from the capillaries. For this reason, the said basic invention was able to be applied only temporarily at the time of diarrhea etc. of a breeding cow. Therefore, the present invention is a feed to be fed to growing cattle, and by containing fruit juice, the amount of carbohydrates contained in the feed to be fed to the growing cattle is approximately 2 from the introduction of the growing cattle to 60 days. By adjusting so that it may become weight%, and not including fruit juice, the quantity of the saccharide | sugar contained in the feed given to the said breeding cow will be substantially 0 weight% after 60 days progress from the time of introduction of this breeding cow. it was adjusted to is characterized in.

According to the present invention, by including a fruit juice, the amount of carbohydrates contained in the feed given to the heifers until 60 days from the time of introduction of the heifers are adjusted to be substantially 2 wt% In addition, by not including fruit juice, the amount of carbohydrate contained in the feed to be fed to the breeding cattle was adjusted to be approximately 0% by weight after 60 days from the introduction of the breeding cattle. If we continue to give a large amount of carbohydrates to the stomach, it will eventually cause abnormalities in the rumen wall, making it difficult for the carbohydrates to be absorbed from the capillaries. You can achieve a smooth weight gain. Moreover, the use of fruits that are originally discarded makes them extremely inexpensive.

The invention according to claim 2 is a feed production apparatus to be given to growing cattle, a juicer mixer or squeezer for producing fruit juice containing at least sugar, a dedicated tank for storing the produced fruit juice, A means for adsorbing fruit juice stored in a dedicated tank to an adsorbent prepared separately in a state in which the sugar content is adjusted so as to be the amount of sugar contained in the feed according to claim 1, and adsorption by which fruit juice is adsorbed And a dryer for drying the material only with temperature-controlled air.

According to the invention described in claim 2 , fruit juice containing at least sugar is produced, the produced fruit juice is stored in a dedicated tank, and the fruit juice stored in the dedicated tank is described in claim 1. Since the sugar content is adjusted to the amount of sugar contained in the feed, it is adsorbed by a separately prepared adsorbent, and the adsorbent adsorbed with fruit juice is dried only with temperature-controlled air. By using the discarded fruit, a very inexpensive feed can be obtained, and by giving this feed, the loss of appetite of the growing cattle can be resolved continuously and a smooth weight gain can be realized.

The invention described in claim 3 is a feed production method to be given to growing cattle, producing fruit juice containing at least carbohydrates, storing the produced fruit juice in a dedicated tank, and storing it in a dedicated tank. Oita juice is adsorbed on an adsorbent prepared separately in a state in which the sugar content is adjusted so as to be the amount of sugar contained in the feed according to claim 1, and the temperature of the adsorbent adsorbed with fruit juice is controlled. It is characterized by only drying.

According to invention of Claim 3 , there exists an effect similar to invention of Claim 2 .

According to the present invention, by including a fruit juice, the amount of carbohydrates contained in the feed given to the heifers until 60 days from the time of introduction of the heifers are adjusted to be substantially 2 wt% In addition, by not including fruit juice, the amount of carbohydrate contained in the feed to be fed to the breeding cattle was adjusted to be approximately 0% by weight after 60 days from the introduction of the breeding cattle. If we continue to give a large amount of carbohydrates to the stomach, it will eventually cause abnormalities in the rumen wall, making it difficult for the carbohydrates to be absorbed from the capillaries. You can achieve a smooth weight gain. Moreover, the use of fruits that are originally discarded makes them extremely inexpensive.

According to the second and third aspects of the invention, fruit juice containing at least sugar is produced, the produced fruit juice is stored in a dedicated tank, and the fruit juice stored in the dedicated tank is described in claim 1. Since the sugar content is adjusted to be the amount of sugar contained in the feed, the adsorbent adsorbed on the adsorbent prepared separately, and the adsorbent adsorbed fruit juice is dried only with temperature-controlled air, By using the fruit that was originally discarded, a very inexpensive feed can be obtained, and by giving this feed, the loss of appetite of the growing cow can be resolved continuously and a smooth weight gain can be realized. .
