Feeding Value of Mulberry Leaf and Its Application in Livestock and Poultry Production
As an unconventional protein feed,mulberry leaves have high nutritional and economic value.Mulberry leaves are palatable and rich in protein,amino acids,flavonoids,alkaloids,polyphenols,polysaccharides and other bioactive substances.In recent years,with the development and utilization of mulberry resources,the research on the application of mulberry leaves and its extracts in the field of animal husbandry has become more and more in-depth.As a high-quality feed source in livestock and poultry production,mulberry leaves are mainly processed by drying,silage,fermentation,extraction of active substances,etc.Different processing methods have different effects on the composition and content of nutrients in mulberry leaves.Adding mulberry leaf or its extract to the diet of livestock and poultry can improve the immunity,survival rate,production performance and antioxidant capacity of young livestock and poultry,improve intestinal microecology,regulate metabolism,and improve the quality of livestock and poultry products.The application of mulberry leaves varies among different animals,and different developmental stages of the same animal species.The authors summarized the feeding value,processing methods and application of mulberry leaves in livestock and poultry production,in order to provided the basis for the rational development and utilization of mulberry leaves and was conducive to promoting the high-quality development of animal husbandry.
