The effect of chitosan as feed on cows

1. Improving the digestive system: Chitosan can improve the digestive system of cattle and help prevent enteritis caused by mycotoxins in feed. It has mucosal adhesion, can promote intestinal absorption of nutrients, enhance intestinal barrier function, reduce the invasion of external pathogenic microorganisms, and improve disease resistance.

2. Improving production performance: Chitosan as a feed additive can improve the production performance of cows, such as increasing milk production and improving milk quality. In addition, it can change the fermentation mode and microbial community structure of the rumen of cows, reduce methane production in the rumen, and further improve the production performance of cows.

3. Enhancing immune function: Chitosan can enhance the immune function of cows and help prevent diseases such as mastitis. Chitosan has an inhibitory effect on the growth of the main pathogenic bacteria in dairy cows with mastitis, and can effectively improve the antioxidant capacity of dairy cows with mastitis and promote inflammation recovery.

In summary, chitosan as a feed additive has many positive effects on the growth and health of cattle. At the same time, it has advantages such as no drug resistance, safety, and no residue, so it has broad application prospects in dairy production practice.
