中草药饲料添加剂主要生物学功能及应用

Primary biological function and application of Chinese herbal feed additives

中草药因其天然、低毒、无抗药性及特殊的生物学功能等特性已被应用于饲料行业,随着饲料无抗和养殖减抗政策的实施,中草药作为添加剂在动物生产中的应用日益广泛,有关其生物学功能研究越来越受到关注。目前,中草药添加剂在促进动物生产性能、免疫等方面已经表现出独特的优越性,其作用机理的研究主要围绕促生长、促进免疫器官发育等方面。本文综述了中草药作为饲料添加剂对动物生长及生产性能、畜产品品质、健康及养殖环境的影响,并对其主要生物学功能及相关机理进行了概述,以期为我国中草药饲料添加剂技术研究、产品研发与生产应用提供参考。

Chinese herbal medicine has been used in the feed industry owing to its natural properties,low toxicity,nonresistance,and special biological functions.With the implementation of feed non-resistance and breeding anti-resistance policy,Chinese herbal medicine as an additive in animal feed is been increasingly used,and there has been an increased interest in elucidating its biological functions.At present,Chinese herbal medicinal additives have shown unique advantages in promoting animal production,performance,and immunity.Research on the mechanism of its action focuses mainly on promoting growth,development of immune organs,and other aspects;however,there are relatively few studies focusing on other aspects.In the present study,a Chinese herbal medicine was reviewed as a feed additive for animal growth performance,production,animal product quality,animal health,and the environment.Moreover,the primary biological function and the related mechanism was outlined to provide reference for technical research,product development,and production as Chinese herbal medicinal feed additives in China.
