Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is directed to improving the palatability of feed for animals, especially cattle;
More specifically, the present invention relates to additives for improving palatability by adding various vitamins, minerals, and other supplementary feeds with poor palatability.

[Prior art]

It builds the basic physical strength of animals, especially cows, and increases lactation ability, reproductive rate, heat, heat, etc.
In order to prevent loss of physical strength due to loss of appetite during cold weather, supplementary feed ingredients with high nutritional content such as various vitamins, minerals, meat and bone meal, and oil cake are added to animal feed, such as so-called concentrated feed. . At this time, the supplementary feed is added in the form of liquid or pellets, but they are inherently unpalatable, and their addition can actually cause a decrease in appetite, which is not sufficient for the original purpose of improving the animal's physical strength. Not achieved.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, as a result of various studies, the present inventors have discovered that the palatability of supplementary feed can be improved by adding dried green vegetable odor and garlic odor to the aforementioned supplementary feed ingredients with poor palatability, and have completed the present invention. .

That is, the present invention relates to a feed palatability improving agent comprising a dried green plant powder and a powder substance having a garlic odor.

The dried green plants used in the present invention include dried powders of green plants such as green vegetables such as alpha alpha, black locust, ginkgo, turnip greens, etc.
Leaf protein concentrates may also be used. Further, examples of substances having a garlic odor include garlic powder, garlic extract, garlic flavor, and the like.

The palatability improving agent of the present invention is thought to improve the palatability of feeds with poor palatability due to the dry green plant odor and garlic odor contained therein, so it is important that the odor is not lost. Garlic odor is easily lost, so care must be taken when handling it, and it is preferable to store it in a sealed container in a cool place. The mixing ratio is garlic powder, garlic extract (drip when steaming chopped garlic) to dried green plants.
Alternatively, the proportion is 0.1 to 10% as a synthetic garlic flavor (adsorbed in an appropriate amount to dextrin, for example, commercially available Garlic Powder 702).

Feeds whose palatability is improved by the palatability improving agent of the present invention include vitamins (A, B, C, D, E
etc.), minerals (salts of iron, zinc, copper, etc., baking soda, calcium carbonate, etc.), veterinary medicines, etc., as well as meat and bone meal,
It is a highly nutritious animal and plant feed resource such as feather meal, gluten meal, rapeseed meal, cotton seed meal, sesame oil meal, wheat flour meal, blood meal, leather meal, peanut oil, etc., and is a feed ingredient used as an auxiliary feed ingredient. Even when these feed ingredients are fed to animals alone or mixed with concentrate feed, they are not palatable and there is a limit to the amount of feed that can be used.
If the palatability improving agent of the present invention is added in an amount of 5 to 600% to the above-mentioned feed ingredients, palatability will be significantly improved. The amount used depends on the type of feed ingredient.
Also, since it differs depending on whether it is used alone or mixed into a concentrated feed, it is preferable to change it as appropriate.

As mentioned above, the palatability improving agent of the present invention itself can be used in powder or pellet form. However, depending on the type of feed ingredient used as an auxiliary feed ingredient, it may be convenient to mix 5 to 600% of the palatability improving agent of the present invention with the feed ingredient and add it to the concentrate feed. It is advantageous in terms of handling to pelletize the mixture of the palatability improver and feed ingredients and mix it with the concentrate feed.

〔effect〕

By using the palatability improving agent of the present invention, it is possible to feed the supplementary feed ingredients with poor palatability without any leftover food, and the administration process is also simplified.

〔Example〕

Next, examples of the present invention will be shown to specifically clarify the effects of the present invention.

Example 1 Alpha alpha (dehy) meal 25%, garlic powder (dried and crushed finely chopped garlic) 1%, ground corn 46%, soybean meal 10%,
Mix 2%, 11% of common salt and 5% of a vitamin and mineral mixture, run the resulting mixture through a Giyoda pellet mill equipped with a die with a hole diameter of 6 mm, and grind into pellets with a diameter of 6 mm and a length of 10 mm while adding 2% water. Manufactured in

Example 2 Alpha Alpha (Dehy) Meal 27%, Leaf Protein Concentrate (Alex Harvey
Industries Ltd.) 5%, garlic powder (Riken Chemical Industries Garlic Powder) 1%, calcium carbonate 17% and calcium phosphate 50%,
The resulting mixture was passed through a pellet mill (manufactured by CPM) equipped with a die having a hole diameter of 9 mm, and 3% steam was added to form pellets with a diameter of 9 mm and a length of 15 mm.

Example 3 Leaf (Ginnem from the Philippines) meal 20%,
A compound feed was obtained by mixing 0.2% garlic flavor (garlic powder 702 manufactured by Takasago International Corporation), 4% meat and bone meal, 10% soybean meal, 40% ground corn, 20% ground milo, and 5.8% wheat flour.

Example 4 20% leaf protein concentrate, 1% garlic extract containing material (garlic extract made by Riken Chemical Industry adsorbed to 10 times the amount of starch),
A compound feed was obtained by mixing 29% wheat flour, 30% vitamin mixes, and 20% mineral mixes.

Example 5 A compound feed was obtained by mixing 19% of Alpha Alpha (Sankiure) meal, 1% of garlic extract content, 50% of baking soda, 5% of Vitamin Mix, 5% of Mineral Mix and 20% of calcium carbonate.

Comparative Example 1 (a) Pellet (a) was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that alpha alpha (dehy) meal and garlic powder were not used.

(b) Pellet (b) was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that garlic powder was not used.

(c) Pellet (c) was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that alpha alpha (dehy) meal was not used.

Using the obtained pellets (a), (b), and (c) and the pellets according to the present invention obtained in Example 1, an eating test was conducted using 5 beef cattle (average weight 400 kg) per pellet group. was carried out.
