The invention relates to the technical field of
animal feed and in particular relates to a
tannic acid type feed formula for sheep and a
digestion and
metabolism determination method thereof.
Tannic acid type feed is prepared from basic feed and
tannic acid, wherein the
tannic acid is added into the basic feed; the adding amount of the tannic acid is 0.1g.kg<-1> to 20g.kg<-1>; the basic feed is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: 35 to 40 parts of corn, 5 to 10 parts of
soybean meal, 10 to 15 parts of
alfalfa hay, 25 to 30 parts of corn
straw, 15 to 20 parts of barley
straw, 0.1 to 0.2 part of
calcium hydrogen phosphate, 0.3 to 0.4 part of limestone
powder, 0.5 to 1 part of table salt and 0.1 to 0.2 part of premix. After the tannic acid is added, a tannic
acid protein compound is formed; the tannic
acid protein compound is decomposed through
pepsin and
trypsin when the feed stays in a
rennet stomach (with the pH (Potential of
Hydrogen) of 2.5) and a
small intestine (with the pH (Potential of
Hydrogen) of 8 to 9), so as to form small molecular substances which are easy to absorb, and furthermore, the effect of protecting
rumen bypass
protein is realized. The content of the
protein in
milk products can be improved, so that the tannic acid can be used for improving the
digestion and absorption of the feed
protein in the dairy cow. A research shows that the protection effect on the feed protein is the best when the content of the tannic acid in the feed is 3.40g.kg<-1>.
