紫花苜蓿在兔生产中的研究进展

Research Progress of Alfalfa on Rabbits' Production

作为粗饲料原料之一的紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa)是优良的多年生豆科牧草,具有生物固氮能力强、优质高产、粗蛋白质含量高、适口性好、营养价值全面、适应性广等特点,素有"牧草之王"的美称。然而紫花苜蓿作为一种优质粗饲料在兔生产中的应用却很少有报道,而兔饲料中添加适宜比例的苜蓿草粉对提高其生产性能、繁殖性能、免疫机能等都有促进作用。本文就对紫花苜蓿的营养特点及在兔生产中的应用等方面作一综述。

Alfalfa is one of roughage materials and excellent perennial leguminous forage with strong biological nitrogen fixation ability, good quality and high yield, high crude protein content, good palatability, comprehensive nutrition, wide adaptability and other characteristics, and it is known as the 'king of the grass' reputation. Alfalfa as a high quality roughage, but its application is rarely reported on rabbit's production. adding suitable proportion of alfalfa to rabbit's feed, it can improve their production performance, reproductive performance and immune function. The nutritive characteristics and application of alfalfa on rabbits are reviewed in this article.
