Description

Application of heptadecanoic acid compound in improving animal growth performance Technical Field The invention belongs to the technical field of animal breeding. And more particularly to the use of heptadecanoic acid compounds to enhance animal growth performance. Background In recent years, in order to meet the increasing market demands, the Chinese farming industry rapidly develops, and intensive and large-scale farming becomes the mainstream trend of the farming industry. However, in the intensive cultivation process, how to ensure the health of the cultivated animals and the rapid growth and development is one of the key points for ensuring the market supply and the economic benefits of farmers. At present, in order to increase the animal's slaughtering speed, increase animal weight and obtain better economic benefits, often through adding certain beneficial components in the fodder, thereby promote animal growth and development. Experiments such as Hanczakowsk and the like find that 0.3% of caprylic acid or 0.3% of capric acid is added into daily ration of weaned pigs for feeding, and as a result, the capric acid is found to obviously improve daily gain of the weaned pigs after 28 days, improve growth performance of the weaned pigs, and the caprylic acid has no obvious effect (Hanczakowska,E.1;et al.Medium chain fatty acids(MCFA)and/or probiotic Enterococcus faecium as a feed supplement for piglets(Article)[J].Livestock Science,2016,Vol.192:1-7),, and although carbon chains of fatty acids are only different by two carbon atoms, effects are obviously different. Yang Yuan the study found that during 28 days of feeding piglets, lauric acid or stearic acid was added to the basal diet instead of soybean oil, and the average daily Gain (AVERAGE DAILY GAIN, ADG), average daily Feed intake (AVERAGE DAILYFEED INTAKE, ADFI) and meat to Feed ratio (Gain: feed, G: F) of weaned piglets were not significantly affected compared to the control diet (Yang Yuan. Influence of fatty acids of different carbon chain lengths on the epithelial cell renewal of the small intestine of pigs [ D ]. The university of henna, 2020.doi: 10.27137/d.cnki.ghusu.2020.000179). That is, it is shown that adding even-chain saturated fatty acid such as lauric acid or stearic acid into daily ration has no significant effect on animal growth performance. At present, the fat used in animal feed is even carbon chain fatty acid, and the research on odd carbon chain fatty acid is relatively less, and the metabolism in animal body and the influence on production performance are less. The main difference between odd-chain fatty acids and even-chain fatty acids is the difference in metabolic products after absorption into the body. Odd-chain fatty acids are a special class of fatty acids which are widely present in microorganisms and animals and plants, but are very small in content, and the odd-chain fatty acids in the lipids of higher animals account for about 1-5% of the total amount. Of these, heptadecanoic acid (also known as heptadecanoic acid, C17:0, heptadecanoic Acid) is more specific and is present only in small amounts in parts of microorganisms, ruminant muscle and milk fat. In recent years, research shows that the heptadecanoic acid has medical field applications (ONCOLOGY REPORTS 41:3499-3507,2019;Molecules 2015,20,2425-2444;Nutrients 2019,11,998) such as blood sugar reduction, cancer resistance, immune regulation and the like, is closely related to the health state of human bodies, but the related research on the effect of the heptadecanoic acid compound on the animal growth performance is still blank, and no related technical report exists. Disclosure of Invention The invention aims to overcome the defects and the shortcomings of the prior art and provide the application of the heptadecanoic acid compound in improving the growth performance of animals. The invention aims to provide the application of heptadecanoic acid compounds in improving animal growth performance. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for enhancing the growth performance of animals. The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical scheme: The invention provides application of heptadecanoic acid compounds in improving animal growth performance. According to the invention, a large number of research experiments show that the heptadecanoic acid compound can obviously improve the growth performance of animals, such as improving the feed intake and daily gain of animals and reducing the feed-to-weight ratio. In the invention, the feed-to-weight ratio (F/G) is also called feed-to-meat ratio or feed efficiency, and refers to the amount of feed consumed by the raised livestock and poultry which is increased by one kilogram, and is an important index for evaluating feed compensation. Preferably, the heptadecanoic acid compound is selected from one or more of heptadecanoic acid, heptadecanoate ester or heptadecanoat
