Application and mechanism of functional forage and its extracts in animal production
Addressing the current issues of single feed material sources and limited comprehensive utiliza-tion technology,outdated biotechnology in the development of unconventional feed materials,lack of functional components,and the chaotic use of exogenous additives,this study focused on the potential high-quality Compos-itae and Leguminosae forage resources in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.The study aimed to optimize forage biorefining technology and establish a technical evaluation system for the research and development of active sub-stances in typical forages from different grasslands,thereby improving the quality and efficiency of unconventional feed materials.Functional forage,with its high nutritional value,was favored by livestock and constitutes about 20%～30% of the plant species in grasslands.However,due to the presence of specific components,the direct u-tilization by herbivorous livestock was limited.Despite the unique chemical compositions of these plants,they had beneficial effects on herbivorous livestock.The secondary metabolites of these plants were also effective compo-nents of plant extract feed additives.This paper summarized the biological characteristics and effective compo-nents of functional forage and their active substances both domestically and internationally and provided a founda-tion for future research and development in this field.
