Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a rabbit bait.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, rabbits, which are rodents of mammals used as pets and fur raw materials, are herbivorous and their diets include legumes, chrysanthemums, crucifers, grasses and other green grasses. It is known that the plant is mainly cultivated with, and is appropriately fed with plant material such as tea leaves, bran, bran, soybean meal, and tofu.

[0003] Rabbits store a part of undigested food in the body in the cecum, ingest it again from the anus through the mouth, and repeat the digestion process (hereinafter referred to as feces), It is an animal that behaves to efficiently ingest protein.
In fact, the feces that go directly out of the body without going through the cecum,
It is known that the ratio of proteins contained in the cecal contents is 1: 3, respectively.

In order to prevent such feeding behavior rabbits, artificial feeds which have been given so far and have good preservation properties are those obtained by adding an appropriate amount of vitamins to the above-mentioned plant material such as grass and grain. And contained, for example, the components shown in Table 1 below.

[0005]

[Table 1]

[0006]

However, the above-mentioned conventional bait for rabbits depends on the plant for all of the protein, and since the intake efficiency of the protein is not taken into consideration, the amount of protein supplied is not sufficient. However, there is a problem in that the fur of the rabbit eating this is not glossy.

[0007] Here, fish meat protein is usually added to the feed for omnivorous animals such as dogs and cats.
Since rabbits refrain from fishy odor, the use of fish meat protein causes a problem of reduced food intake, which is not preferable.

Further, there is a problem that the conventional rabbits, which eat the rabbit bait, tend to have thick urine and a great urine odor.

As a urine deodorant added to ordinary pet foods such as rabbits and hamsters in order to reduce the urine odor of rodents such as rabbits, defatted rice bran and Bacillus subtilis (Baci)
Lactobacillus fermented polysaccharide-based urine deodorant is well known, but it takes 4 to 5 days for the urine deodorant effect to appear, and there is also a problem that it has no immediate effect.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a rabbit foodstuff with a sufficient protein supply amount and capable of improving the luster of the hair of rabbits eating the fish meat protein. Does not decrease the food intake, and has less urine odor,
A fermented polysaccharide-based urine deodorant should have immediate effect.

[0011]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a rabbit bait containing plant material as a main raw material, carrot squeezed juice, and a low molecular weight of 4000-4500 obtained by decomposing fish meat protein are used. We adopted a means to make a rabbit bait to which molecular peptides were added.

Further, the carrot squeezing liquid is a concentrated liquid which is concentrated to 5 times the concentration of the raw material squeezing in the degree of Brix, and the addition amount is 0.3% by weight or more, and the low molecular weight peptide is added. The means in which the amount is 0.2 to 1% by weight was adopted.

Alternatively, a rabbit bait containing plant matter as a main component, a carrot juice and a molecular weight 4 obtained by decomposing fish meat protein.
A means for making a rabbit bait to which a low molecular weight peptide of 000 to 4500 and a urinary deodorant of a fermentation polysaccharide system were added was adopted.

The carrot squeezed liquid is a concentrated liquid concentrated to 5 times the raw material squeezed concentration in terms of Brix, and the added amount is 0.3% by weight or more. Is 0.2 to 1% by weight, and the amount of the fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant added is 0.5% by weight or less.

[0015]

The rabbit bait according to the present invention has a molecular weight of 4000 to
By using a rabbit diet containing 4500 low-molecular-weight peptides, this is specifically easily absorbed from the small intestine of the rabbit, and when the diet passes through the digestive tract without passing through the cecum, and cecal contents In any case of re-digestion, the absorption efficiency of protein is improved and the hair gloss is improved.

[0016] Rabbits fed with such a low-molecular-weight peptide-added rabbit diet have a large amount of drinking water, and therefore have a large amount of urine and are diluted to reduce urine odor.

The carrot juice added to the rabbit feed is supplemented with carotene necessary for the feed, and the fish odor of the feed added with the fish meat protein of the low molecular weight peptide having the molecular weight of 4000 to 4500 is reduced to feed. Do not reduce the amount.

[0018] A rabbit feed containing carrot juice and a urinary deodorant for fermented polysaccharides shortens the period in which the urine deodorizing effect appears after feeding, and is a feed having a rapid urinary deodorizing effect.

By adding the low-molecular-weight peptide, the carrot juice, and the fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant in their respective predetermined amounts to the above-mentioned plant feed containing rabbits as a main component, the effect of the above action is further enhanced. Remarkably appears.

[0020]

Examples The rabbit bait of the present invention containing plant material as a main raw material is a well-known dry bait for rabbits, and examples thereof include grains such as corn, wheat flour, soy protein, defatted soybean, or powdered alfalfa ( Alfalfa Medi
(cago sativa, dried powder of Japanese name purple sea urchin palm), etc., and a suitable combination of dried grasses such as legumes, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae and Gramineae, which are eaten favorably by rabbits. Good.

The carrot juice used in this invention is a raw edible carrot (total carotene amount: 7.3 mg / 100 g).
(Average value)), preferably one obtained by evaporating water to concentrate it, and for example, a preferable result was obtained by using a concentrated solution which was concentrated 5 times as much as the raw material juice in Brix degree. There is. As a commercially available carrot squeezing concentrate that has been concentrated 5 times, there may be mentioned Carrot Super 70, trade name, manufactured by Dan Foods.

The amount added of such a carrot juice concentrate which is 5 times as concentrated is 0.3% by weight or more. Because, in this case, the content of β-carotene in the feed was 4.2.
The amount is 3 mg / 100 g, which is more sufficient than the conventional content of 1.09 mg / 100 g in the rabbit food, and even if it is added more than that, the effect of masking fish odor is notably changed. This is because it is sufficient to add the necessary minimum amount in terms of manufacturing cost.

The low molecular weight peptide having a molecular weight of 4000 to 4500, which is obtained by decomposing the fish meat protein used in the present invention, uses inexpensive multi-catch fish as a feed material, and the kind of fish is not particularly limited. , For example, mackerel,
Satisfactory results have been obtained using sardines and the like.

The molecular weight of the low-molecular-weight peptide is adjusted by hydrolyzing or degrading the protein using a digestive enzyme, and a low-molecular-weight peptide having a little bitterness and a spoilage odor caused by an autolytic enzyme is preferable. As such a low-molecular peptide,
As described in JP-B-53-7508,
Without cutting raw fish such as mackerel, at 50-60 ℃,
Decomposes with an alkali-resistant protease at pH 9-10,
Next, after adjusting the pH to 5 to 6, it is possible to use a low molecular weight peptide obtained by decomposing with an acid-resistant proteolytic enzyme, separating the extract components and concentrating under reduced pressure to a water content of 50% or less. Examples of commercially available products of such low-molecular peptides include HiQol (trade name) manufactured by Tensei Suisan Kaisha, Ltd.

In the present invention, the molecular weight of the low molecular weight peptide is 40
The reason for limiting the number to 00 to 4500 is based on the finding that peptides of this size are easily absorbed specifically from the small intestine of rabbits. The amount of the low molecular weight peptide added to the feed is 0.2 to 1% by weight. This is because when the amount added is less than the predetermined range, the effect of improving hair gloss and reducing the urine odor due to an increase in the amount of drinking water and urine does not sufficiently appear, and when the amount added exceeds the predetermined range, the carrot juice is added. This is because it becomes difficult to obtain the fishy odor masking effect due to.

As the fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant, as described above, defatted rice bran subtilis (Bacillus su)
As a commercially available fermentative polysaccharide-based urine deodorant obtained by growing b. bilis), GMT (trade name) manufactured by Toyo Fermentation Co., Ltd. may be mentioned.

Example 1 Dried corn, flour,
Mixture of defatted soybeans, alfalfa meal, soy protein 9
7% by weight, carrot juice concentrate (Dan Foods: trade name Carrot Super 70) 0.3% by weight, low-molecular peptide (Tensei Suisan: HiQol) 0.2% by weight, fermentation polysaccharide system urine deodorant Agent (Toyo Fermentation Co., Ltd .: GMT) 0.5% by weight, other vitamins and minerals 2% by weight are added and mixed all at once, an appropriate amount of water is added and extruded from a die, cut and pelletized, and then dried. Thus, a pellet-shaped rabbit bait containing about 10% water was obtained.

[Comparative Example 1] A rabbit bait was produced in exactly the same manner as in Example, except that the carrot juice concentrate, low-molecular-weight peptide, and fermentation saccharide-based urine deodorant were not added.

The following comparative tests were carried out on the two kinds of rabbit bait or each material obtained as described above,
The effect was investigated.

(1) Preference test The rabbit bait of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was applied to 10 rabbits (mini rabbit: DUTCH species) once a day at about 80 times.
Feeding amount was evaluated by the addition point evaluation method, and the results are shown in Table 2. The evaluation criteria were 4 points: eat happily, 3 points: eat well, 2 points: eat normally, and 1 point: bite poorly.

[0031]

[Table 2]

(2) Masking test Carrot juice concentrate (manufactured by Dan Foods: product name Carrot Super 70) and low-molecular peptide (manufactured by Tensei Suisan:
(Hyqual) was mixed at a weight ratio of 60:40, 99 ml of water was added to 1 g of this solution, and the mixture was heated to 100 ° C.
What was cooled to 0 ° C. was used as a masking test liquid.

With respect to this test liquid, a sensory test for odor and taste by four panelists was conducted. As a result, it was confirmed that all the panelists did not feel a fishy odor, the sweetness and aroma peculiar to carrots were strong, and the natural amino acids had a good taste.

(3) Content of β-carotene When comparing the content of β-carotene of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the content of Comparative Example 1 was 1.09 mg / 100 g. The content of Example 1 was 4.23 mg / 10.
It was 0 g. On the other hand, the total amount of carotene in raw carrots is 7.3 mg / 100 g, and since the carrot juice concentrate used in Example 1 is a 5-fold concentrated extract, about 88% of carotenes are obtained compared to before processing. Although it disappeared, about 4 times as much amount was secured as compared with Comparative Example 1, and it can be seen that the purpose of supplementing carotene has been achieved.

(4) Fecal test The rabbit bait of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was applied to 10 rabbits (mini rabbit: DUTCH species) once a day, about 80 times.
After feeding g / feather for 21 days, the appearance of feces was evaluated by the addition point evaluation method, and the results are shown in Table 3. The evaluation criteria were 3 points: normal stool, 2 points: loose stool, 1 point: diarrhea stool.

[0036]

[Table 3]

From the results shown in Table 3, it is possible to reduce the expression of soft stools and diarrhea stools by giving an appropriate amount of carrots containing a large amount of pantethine to rabbits, which drink more water than other animals and tend to have soft stools. Recognize.

(5) Appearance of Hair Before and after the palatability test, 7 out of 10 rabbits were judged to have improved the gloss of the hair and had a so-called beautiful coat.

(6) Drinking Water and Urine Volume In the palatability test described above, the drinking water volume per day of 10 rabbits and the average urine volume were examined. As a result, the rabbits fed with the feed of Example 1 drunk about 20% more water per day than the rabbits fed with the feed of Comparative Example 1, and the urine volume was also about 2.
It was 0% more. From this, the rabbit bait of Example 1 was
It can be seen that the metabolism of the fed rabbit is improved, and it is effective in reducing urine odor and preventing urinary stones.

[Example 2] In the same manner as in Example 1 except that the mixing ratio of the fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant (manufactured by Toyo Fermentation Co., Ltd .: GMT) was changed to 1.0% by weight. A rabbit bait was prepared.

[Comparative Example 2] In Comparative Example 1, 0.5% by weight of a fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant (made by Toyo Fermentation Co., Ltd .: GMT) was used.
A rabbit bait was prepared in exactly the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that it was added.

The rabbit baits of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 were subjected to the following urine odor test, and the results are shown in Table 4.

(7) Urine odor test The rabbit bait of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 was applied to 5 rabbits (mini rabbit: DUTCH species) once a day at about 80 g.
/ Fed, raised for 7 days, urine odor was evaluated by the addition point evaluation method, and the results are shown in Table 4. The evaluation criteria were evaluated by 3 panelists as 0 point: almost no odor, 1 point: slightly odor, 2 points: moderate odor, 3 points: strong odor.

[0044]

[Table 4]

From the results shown in Table 4, the combined use of the carrot juice concentrate, the low molecular weight peptide and the fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant has an immediate effect as compared with the case where the fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant is added alone. I understand.

[0046]

[Effect] As described above, the present invention provides a rabbit bait containing plant matter as a main component, and added carrot juice and a low molecular weight peptide having a molecular weight of 4000 to 4500 obtained by decomposing fish meat protein. The protein supply is sufficient, and the luster of the rabbit's coat that eats it can be improved, and even if fish protein is used, the food intake does not decrease.

In addition to the above-mentioned effects, a urine odor is reduced and the fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant has an immediate effect by using a food for rabbits to which a fermentation polysaccharide-based urine deodorant is added in addition to the above materials. There are advantages.
