Abstract:

The aim of the review was to know well the latest progress of feed additives in beef cattle.The foreign literatures on feed additives in beef cattle breeding recently published were summarized in this paper,which mainly focused on the effects of different types of feed supplements on rumen fermentation,production performance,digestive characteristics and meat quality in beef cattle,and the involved additives included glycerol,antibiotics,minerals,vitamins,microorganisms and lipids.The application of feed additives in beef cattle production was very necessary,and the use method and the use effect were the main points.Diet type and roughage ratio would affect the influence of glycerol,mixed use of antibiotics was better than single use,minerals and vitamins with different forms and different dosage had a role in promoting and enhancing on growth and immunity of beef cattle.Therefore,various factors should be considered in actual production,according to the nutrition requirements of beef cattle to choose the appropriate feed additives type and suitable proportion,only in reasonable application ways,the higher economic benefits would be obtained.The research results were summarized and analyzed in this review,which would provide a theoretical basis for the development of beef cattle industry in China.
