Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention mainly relates to feed for beef cattle, and more specifically, the present invention relates to feed for beef cattle, and more specifically, to an alcohol-containing feed made by mixing distilled lees of shochu and grains to contain alcohol. Regarding feed.

[Prior art and its problems]

Traditionally, it has been believed that feeding animals, especially cattle, with an appropriate amount of alcohol can increase their appetite and aid their digestion, and in regions famous for raising beef cattle, they are allowed to drink beer, etc.

As mentioned above, it is believed that giving alcohol to cows promotes the reproduction of good microorganisms in the cow's first stomach, thereby increasing the cow's appetite. Furthermore, by consuming appropriate amounts of alcohol, cows can relieve stress and sleep better.

In particular, in the summer, cattle's appetite decreases due to the heat, and their sleep tends to be short and light. However, by feeding them alcohol-containing feed, they have sufficient appetite and sleep, allowing them to grow happily. .

As a result, the cattle are fattened, their growth is promoted, and the quality of their meat becomes more marbling, so delicious beef cattle can be obtained in a short period of time.

However, feeding beef cattle with alcohol and making them drink beer as a means of raising them in this way is expensive, and there are problems in that it is not suitable for anything other than special beef cattle. Therefore, as another method, distillers' lees, which is a waste product produced during the production of distilled spirits such as shochu, has been mixed into the feed and fed to the feed.

The above-mentioned distillation lees is the liquid that remains after distilling shochu such as awamori, and its components include less than 1% alcohol and 9% water.
Contains 3% and high amount of yeast protein.

It is generally known that yeast protein, which is contained in large amounts in the distillation lees of shochu, has properties intermediate between those of animals and plants, and has high nutritional value. In order to make use of this, conventionally, this distilled lees has been fed to beef cattle as is, or mixed with rice straw, leftover rice, etc. As a result, while the meat quality of beef cattle that ingested distillers' grains containing yeast protein improved, problems arose, such as the livestock barn becoming dirty.

That is, as mentioned above, since shochu distillation lees is a liquid whose soil component is water, beef cattle that ingest it urinate in large amounts, which makes livestock barns humid and contaminated.

Furthermore, because it is highly nutritious and contains a lot of water, it does not keep well, causing mold and bacteria to grow.
There was also the problem that the distillers' grains themselves and the feed mixed with the distillers' grains deteriorated.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an alcohol-containing feed containing alcohol and protein yeast that is low in water content and suitable for the taste of beef cattle.

[Key points of the invention]

According to the present invention, the above object is achieved by using distillation lees after obtaining shochu;
Provided is an alcohol-containing feed characterized in that grains are kneaded into a miso-like state using a solution of fermentable molasses and high-temperature-resistant yeast added, and the kneaded into a miso-like state is fermented by a solid-state fermentation method to produce alcohol. This is achieved by

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples.

First, 50% grains such as onion corn, heat-pressure onion corn, milo, kaf sapa, etc., and mixed sugar of wheat, rice bran, and barley.

400 mj of molasses per 1 gram of basic feed consisting of 45% bran such as corn gluten feed and 5% vegetable oil cake such as soybean oil cake and rapeseed oil cake! Mix and blend so that the moisture content is 50%. Since this molasses is an induction base material for fermentation, it only needs to contain sugar, but in this example, it is the residue after the sugar is crystallized and extracted from the squeezed juice of sugar cane, so to speak. However, it is a starch syrup-like substance that does not crystallize as sugar but still contains sufficient sugar content.

Next, yeast is prepared for fermenting the mixture of grains and If honey as described above. This yeast is Saccharomyces ceraviche, which is used to brew awamori, a type of shochu.
evisiao). A high temperature resistant strain is selected in advance from among these yeasts, and the yeast of this high temperature resistant strain is precultured to form a culture solution.

This yeast (culture solution) is added to a mixture of the above-mentioned basic feed made of grains, etc., containing 50% moisture, and the mixture is thoroughly mixed and fermented.

If this fermentation is carried out at 30℃ for 5 days, the alcohol content will be 3% to 5%.
%, but check this with an alcohol meter.

Fermentation is completed when 3% to 5% alcohol is produced in the feed as described above, and the alcohol-containing feed is completed. The alcohol-containing feed completed in this way does not have a so-called alcoholic smell, but rather has a kind of aroma that even humans find appetizing. Thereafter, a predetermined amount of this is packed into a container such as a bag and stored.

When the fermentation was completed and the components of the completed alcoholic beverage were compared with the feed to which no yeast had been added, the results shown in Table 1 were obtained.

Table 1 Next, a comparative test was conducted regarding the storage stability of the above two products.

The method of the comparative test was to store the above-mentioned alcohol-containing feed and the conventional feed containing no molasses or yeast in ordinary feed containers (plastic bags), seal them, and keep the temperature at 32°C.
It was stored at a humidity of 85% for 30 days.

After the above storage period (30 days) had elapsed, a sensory test revealed that the alcohol-containing feed had no change in color, aroma, etc., and of course, no mold was found at all. In contrast, conventional feeds emit a putrid odor and also generate mold, clearly exhibiting a state of putrefaction.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, as detailed above, the alcohol-containing feed does not simply contain alcohol, but is made by adding sugar and yeast to the feed itself and fermenting it. The raw corn and other grains are soft and easily digestible, and the taste and aroma are so high that even humans can feel their appetite. For this reason, if this alcohol-containing feed is mixed with other feeds or given as is, it will suit the beef cattle's tastes and make it easier for them to swallow the feed, for example, during the summer in hot regions such as Okinawa. Even though most of the beef cattle had anorexia, they showed good appetite when fed the alcohol-containing feed of the present invention.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the feed contains alcohol and does not contain excess moisture, the feed does not deteriorate in the container and does not deteriorate in the container, and does not need to be stored in a refrigerator or the like. Economical effects such as good results can also be obtained.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, as mentioned above, the feed emits a kind of aroma, is soft and easy to digest, and also contains a large amount of yeast, which is a high-quality protein, so beef cattle that consume this feed In addition to promoting the growth and fattening of beef cattle, it is possible to obtain beef cattle with good marbling and meat quality.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the feed contains an appropriate amount of alcohol as described above, it promotes the function of the rumen of beef cattle, activates the development of gastric protozoa, and suppresses appetite. increase. In addition, it relieves stress in beef cattle, helps them sleep better, allows them to get enough sleep, and makes them more cheerful and alert during the day, which, combined with the aforementioned increase in appetite, makes beef cattle even more attractive. The growth and fattening of can be accelerated.

In addition, according to the present invention, the above-mentioned excellent feed can be obtained by using shochu distillation lees and sugar refinery molasses, which are treated as industrial waste so as not to affect the natural environment. It is the best way to reduce misfortune, fortune, and lightness, and has extremely beneficial effects for both the shochu production and beef cattle farming industries.

In addition, the alcohol-containing feed according to the present invention not only has the effect of improving meat quality and promoting growth and fattening for beef cattle, but also has the effect of increasing milk production when fed to dairy cattle. Therefore, it is an extremely effective feed not only for beef cattle but also for dairy cattle.
