发酵中草药的特性及其在动物生产中的应用研究进展

Research Progress on the Characteristics of Fermented Chinese Herbal Medicine and Application in Animal Production

发酵中草药兼具中草药的药理学作用和益生菌的益生功能。在发酵过程中,中草药能为微生物提供营养物质,促进其生长;而微生物产生的酶和代谢产物能促进中草药有效成分的释放,降低衍生物制剂的毒性,同时也可以合成新的活性成分,增加药效。发酵过程还可以使活性大分子或聚合物分解为小分子,便于跨膜运输,有助于机体对活性成分的吸收。此外,发酵中草药中的一些微生物能抑制病原菌繁殖,与中草药发挥协同作用,共同对抗病原体。“减抗”“替抗”背景下,发酵中草药作为一类绿色饲料添加剂,在动物养殖中具有较大的应用价值和前景。对发酵中草药的特性及其在动物生产中的应用研究进展进行综述,以期为发酵中草药饲料添加剂的进一步开发及应用提供参考。

Fermented Chinese herbal medicine combines the pharmacological effects of Chinese herbal medicine with the health benefits of probiotics.During the fermentation process,Chinese herbal medicine offers nutrients to microorganisms and promotes their growth,while the enzymes and metabolites produced by microorganisms stimulate the release of effective ingredients in Chinese herbal medicine,reduce the toxicity of derivative preparations,and also synthesize novel active ingredients to enhance the drug efficacy.The fermentation process also decompose the active macromolecules or polymers into small molecules,facilitating transmembrane transport and aiding in the absorption of active substances by the body.In addition,some microorganisms in fermented Chinese herbal medicine inhibit the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and work synergistically with Chinese herbal medicine to jointly combat pathogens.Under the background of reducing antibiotics use and replacing antibiotics,fermented Chinese herbal medicine,as a type of green feed additive,has great utilization value and prospects in animal husbandry.This paper summarizes the research progress on the characteristics of fermented Chinese herbal medicine and application in animal production,in hoping to provide references for the further development and utilization of fermented Chinese herbal feed additives.
