Research progress of feed processing technology of protein mulberry and its application in animal husbandry
Protein mulberry is a new mulberry variety bred by manual screening and hybridization,which has been defined as a functional feed.Protein mulberry has high protein content,rich amino acid content,good palatability,potential ecological value and feed value,and has broad development prospects.Compared with fresh feeding and hay feeding,mulberry silage has great advantages.With the gradual improvement of protein mulberry silage processing technology,it is found that adding some feed additives such as sugars,fungus preparations,enzyme preparations,etc.to silage can better make protein mulberry silage successful.Protein mulberry can improve the growth performance,immunity and antioxidant function of animals,and improve meat quality and egg quality.This paper reviews the nutritional value,processing and utilization of protein mulberry,and its application in animal feed,which provides a reference for the application of protein mulberry in feed processing and animal husbandry.
