Abstract:

Surfactant is a novel feed additive for ruminants,according to the molecular structure of the surfactant,it can be divided into anionic,cationic,zwitterionic and non-ionic surfactants.The action mechanism is through changing of rumen microbial population to increase the secretion and activity of endogenous enzyme in the rumen,or promote the interaction between enzymes and substrates,and change the ruminal fermentation mode and improve the ability of degrade roughage of rumen microorganisms,in order to improve ruminant production performance.The authors reviewed the classification of surfactants and the effects of several common surfactants on regulation of rumen fermentation including nonionic (Tween,alkyl polyglycosides and tea saponin),zwitterionic (betaine and soy phosphorlipids) and anionic (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate and aerosol-OT).Introducing the impact of rumen microbial population,endogenous enzyme activity,fermentation product when adding different ionic surfactants to the diet,it provides reference for the development of new surfactants and the rational use of surfactants in ruminant diets.
