Research Progress on Bioactive Substances from Scutellaria baicalensis Straw and Application of Scutellaria baicalensis Straw and Its Extract in Livestock Production
The medicinal part of Scutellaria baicalensis is its root,and the above-ground part of the root where the medicinal part is removed is the Scutellaria baicalensis straw,and its annual yield is considerable.Scutellar-ia scutellaria straw contains a variety of bioactive substances such as scutellarin,baicalin and baicalein,which has various biological functions such as antioxidant,antipyretic,analgesic,antibacterial,anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor,and has the potential as a functional feed.In this paper,the nutritional value and bioactive sub-stances of Scutellaria baicalensis straw,and the application of Scutellaria baicalensis straw and its extract in livestock production were reviewed,in order to provide theoretical basis for further application of Scutellaria baicalensis straw as functional feed to improve animal production performance and animal product quality.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(9):5557-5565]
