Research progress on application of ginseng by-products in animal production
Ginseng by-products mainly include ginseng residue,and unused ginseng stems,leaves,flowers,fruits,and roots,etc.They are rich in ginsenoside,ginseng polysaccharide,and other active substances,and have a variety of biological functions such as improving immunity,anti-fatigue,bacteriostasis,and anti-virus.At present,ginseng by-products are primarily treated as waste,which not only maximize their effects but also resulting in a waste of resources.Ginseng by-products have good application prospects in animal production.Ginseng residue,as well as ginseng stems and leaves,can be used as dietary components or additives,and the ginsenoside found in ginseng stems and leaves can also serve as an adjuvant for animal vaccines.Therefore,the paper reviews the biological functions and application in animal production of ginseng by-products,to provide a reference for improving the comprehensive utilization rate of ginseng by-products and improving animal production.
