Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a feed composition for livestock and a breeding method for livestock, and more particularly, a feed composition for livestock that improves the mortality rate of livestock and has a growth promoting effect, and the same. The present invention relates to a method for raising offspring using.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems] Although broods such as calves, piglets, and goats are supposed to grow by drinking breast milk, in practice, in order to improve productivity or In order to alleviate the burden on animals, substitute milk and artificial milk, which are feeds for livestock, are used for the purpose of further promoting growth. However, the current performance of substitute milk is far from that of breast milk,
There is a problem that growth of slaughter animals is stagnant or the mortality rate is high, and improvement thereof has been desired.

In order to solve this problem, the present inventors have already found that the above problem can be solved by using triglyceride of a medium-chain fatty acid having 6 to 10 carbon atoms in skim milk powder and soybean meal as milk substitutes. Found (JP-A-1-309
643 publication). It was also found that artificial milk using a medium-chain fatty acid having 6 to 10 carbon atoms or a salt thereof instead of triglyceride having 6 to 10 carbon atoms in medium chain promotes the growth of offspring. No. 261,350). But,
In the case of using these dairy milk substitutes or artificial milks, a smooth transition from the milk substitutes to the artificial milk cannot be performed, which is a problem.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has found that a feed for slaughter animals containing skim milk powder and / or soybean meal as a main component has 6 to 12 carbon atoms.
By blending at least one selected from the group consisting of medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides and C6-C12 medium-chain fatty acids, and C6-C12 medium-chain fatty acid monoglycerides and diglycerides, high palatability is obtained. The present invention has been completed based on the finding that it is effective in promoting the growth and raising rate of broods and has an effect of improving nutrition.

That is, the present invention contains skim milk powder and / or soybean meal as a main component, and (a) triglycerides of medium-chain fatty acids having 6 to 12 carbon atoms such as caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid ( (Hereinafter abbreviated as MCT),
(b) C6-C12 medium-chain fatty acid (hereinafter abbreviated as MCFA), C6-C12 medium-chain fatty acid monoglyceride (hereinafter abbreviated as MCM), and C6-C12 medium-chain fatty acid diglyceride (hereinafter The present invention provides a feed composition for livestock, which comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of MCD). Further, the present invention provides a method for raising pups by feeding the above-mentioned feed composition for pups as an aqueous solution or water dispersion to pups as a milk substitute, or artificially forming the above-mentioned feed composition for puppies in the form of pellets. The present invention provides a method for raising broods by feeding them as milk.

MCT, MCFA, M used in the present invention
The fatty acid composition of CM and MCD is a fatty acid having 6 to 12 carbon atoms alone or as a mixture, and MCFA mixed with MCT,
MCM and MCD are each a single item or a mixture.
In the present invention, MCT, MCFA and MC having the same carbon number as MCT and having COOH group or OH group remaining
By combining M and MCD, a feed additive for livestock can be obtained which exhibits excellent effects in promoting growth and improving the growth rate as compared with the addition of MCT alone (hereinafter (a) MCT
And (b) a mixture of at least one of MCFA, MCM and MCD is referred to as a feed additive).

In the feed additive according to the present invention, the ratio of (a) MCT and (b) MCFA, MCM and MCD can be arbitrarily selected, but preferably (a) / (b) = 10 / 90-
90/10 (weight ratio). Further, the hydroxyl value (OHV) of the feed additive is more preferably 30 to 300, preferably 30 to 150. In the present invention, the total amount of feed additives is 0.5 in the feed.
-20% by weight, preferably 1-10% by weight. The milk replacer is diluted 3 to 15 times with water and is added in a total amount of 0.1% by weight or more, preferably 0.5 to 10% by weight.

[0008] Conventionally, feed for livestock has a protein source such as skim milk powder and / or soybean meal as a main component, and other components such as dried whey, fats and oils (eg beef tallow, lard, etc.), sugars, vitamins, minerals and the like. In the present invention, the object of the present invention can be achieved by adding the above-mentioned feed additive as a substitute for fats and oils or as a new component in the present invention.

The preferable blending composition of the feed composition for livestock of the present invention is shown below. <Substitute milk> Skim milk powder and / or soybean meal 60 to 85% by weight Dry whey 0 to 20% by weight Vitamin 0 to 5% by weight Inorganic matter 0 to 5% by weight Sugars 0 to 10% by weight Feed additive 0.5 to 25% by weight Total 100 wt% <Artificial milk> Skim milk powder and / or soybean meal 20-60 wt% Dry whey 0-20 wt% Wheat 5-30 wt% Vitamin 0-5 wt% Inorganic substances 0-5 wt% Sugars 0-10 wt% Feed additives 0.5 to 15% by weight Total 100% by weight.

When the feed composition of the present invention is used as a milk substitute, the feed composition is water or warm water several times, preferably 3 times.
Although it is diluted to about 15 times and fed to slaughter animals, the feed additive can also be obtained by adding it when diluting the milk substitute composition. In addition, when it is fed as artificial milk to a slaughterhouse, it can be used in the form of pellets or powder, but it is preferable to use pellets because it has a good taste.
