Application of Licorice Extract in Livestock Production.
(1) Ruminants Licorice is a legume herb with high nutrient content in its stems and leaves. It can be used as a high-quality roughage to feed ruminants. As a coarse feed, licorice can meet the requirements of ruminants for conventional nutrients, and is a good forage plant. Adding licorice extract to the diet can increase the weight gain of Tan sheep. Studies have found that adding licorice extract to ruminant roughage can enhance immune function, increase the content of immunoglobulin in the blood, facilitate in vitro fermentation of the rumen, and relieve cough.
(2) Monogastric animals Licorice and its extracts are often used as medicine or feed additives to improve the production performance of pigs and poultry, etc. Licorice is used as medicine to treat swine pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia and swine flu. Licorice can be used as medicine or added to pig diets to promote pig growth and development, prevent piglet diarrhea, prevent piglet diarrhea, treat piglet eczema, and relieve cough. Licorice can significantly improve the performance of poultry. In addition, licorice and its extracts have significant effects in the prevention and treatment of chicken colibacillosis, infectious bronchitis, ventilation, infectious bursal disease, avian influenza, and the regulation of broiler intestinal microbes.
(3) Aquatic animals Licorice and its extracts have low cost, less residue and weak side effects, and are also widely used in aquaculture. Studies have found that licorice and its extracts added to aquatic feed have the effects of attracting food, promoting growth, and enhancing immunity.
