Research progress on the extraction of polysaccharides from traditional Chinese medicine and their application in animal husbandry
Polysaccharides from traditional Chinese medicine are commonly found in Chinese medicinal materials and are high molec-ular weight compounds extracted from them. Traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides have the functions of promoting growth, en-hancing immunity, and antioxidation, widely used in the breeding of poultry, pigs, and ruminant animals. This article reviews the ex-traction methods of traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides and their applications in animal husbandry, and looks forward to their application prospects, providing a basis for their research applications.
