Abstract:

The study aimed to research the effect of silage containing forsythia on the growth， morbidity and survival rate of meat geese and improve the overall health of the geese. The suspensions of Lactobacillus plantarum and Aspergillus usamil were prepared and added to the silage containing forsythia in proportion. After natural fermentation for 60 days， the products were used for the feeding experiment of geese. The 28-day-old meat geese were randomly divided into three groups and fed with silage with different forsythia content for 42 days. During the feeding process， the production performance of silage containing forsythia of each group were observed. The results showed that the functional ingredients content of forsythin and forsythin A in the silage containing 5% and 10% forsythia branches were statistically significant difference （P<0.05）. The survival rate of the silage containing forsythia increased by 4.38%~4.63% and the daily gain increased by 3.07%~4.33% and the feed to meat ratio reduced significantly （P<0.05）. The palatability of the branches of forsythia was improved effectively by fermenting of Lactobacillus plantarum and Aspergillus usamil andthe health of the geese improved after feeding.The application research of using discarded medicinal materials as feed additives provided new ideas for reducing production costs， preventing and treating poultry diseases.
