Research progress on the application of sea buckthorn fruit residue in animal breeding
Sea buckthorn pomace(SBP)is the product of removing the pomace of sea buckthorn,which has both medicinal and edible functions.It contains crude protein,crude fat,dietary fiber,vitamins and flavonoids and other nutrients.It has various biological functions such as antioxidant,blood sugar and lipid lowering,laxative,liver damage prevention and obesity alleviation,etc.Adding it to animal feed in appropriate amount can enhance the immunity of animal organism,reduce the occurrence of diseases,improve the growth and development ability of animals as well as promote the development and reproduction.Therefore,the nutritional composition,physiological functions,further processing and application progress of sea buckthorn fruit into green functional feed in animal breeding were riviewed in this paper,aimed to provide reference for the development and application of sea buckthorn fruit.
