微生物发酵中草药及其调控动物肠道健康研究进展OA

Chinese herbal medicine(CHM)contains various bioactive components,such as polysaccharide,saponin,and flavonoid,which can be used as a feed antibiotic substitute in animal production.There are many advantages in microbial fermentation of CHM,such as promoting the effective release of active ingredients in CHM,generating new bioactive compounds,reducing the toxic side effects,and increasing the microbial contents in CHM,which play a synergistic effect of microorganisms and CHM.Consequently,fermented CHM can effectively improve the intestinal flora of the animal,enhance the systemic immunity,and promote the growth of the animal.This review article comprehensively summarizes the advantages of microbial fermentation of CHM,commonly used microbial strains and fermentation techniques,as well as the mechanism of action by which fermented CHM regulates intestinal health in animals,subsequently envisions the prospect for microbial fermentation of CHM,aiming to provide valuable references for the further research and application of CHM in livestock and poultry production.
