BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention concerns a method for producing fine, firm, tender and tasty (in case of skin, high in quality) meats and skins of poultry and livestock, for maintaining healthy pets by lowering excess subcutaneous and internal organ fat and for producing pets having good complexion and hair coat through the administration of Tochu, an extract of the bark of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver tree, which is native to central and southern China.
2. Description of Related Art
Several deficiencies exist in present breeding methods. For example insufficient exercise for poultry and livestock raised in narrow, confined sheds prevent their meat and skin from achieving "fine texture", "firmness", "tenderness" and "tastiness" (in case of skin, "high quality").
Due to these deficiencies, the meat and skin become tough, coarse and fatty, and generally, they do not meet with public favor as food or leather products. In the case of pets, they are usually raised in a confined home environment as opposed to an unconfined, sunlight-exposed, open-air, natural environment. This leads to insufficient exercise and excess fat accumulation and further makes their complexion, hair coat and body strength deteriorate.
OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The objective of this invention is the qualitative improvement of meat and skin of poultry and livestock raised in sheds, and that of the health of domestic pets.
The existing problems mentioned above are solved by this invention, that is, by administering Tochu to poultry and livestock, as well as to domestic pets.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Specifically, this invention concerns a method for producing fine, firm, tender and tasty (in case of skin, high in quality) meats and skins of poultry and livestock, for maintaining healthy pets by lowering excess subcutaneous and internal organ fat and for producing pets having a good complexion and hair coat. By this invention, it becomes possible to raise poultry and livestock with superior traits such as "fine texture", "firmness", "tenderness" and "tastiness" (in case of skin, "high quality"), to produce meat and skin comparable to those of wild poultry and game animals as food and/or leather products, to maintain healthy pets by lowering excess subcutaneous and internal organ fat and to produce pets having a good complexion and hair coat.
In Chinese crude medicine, Tochu refers to a dried substance extracted from the bark of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver tree. The word "Tochu" in this invention is limited to its leaves only, and usually implies dry materials, dried or liquid extract. When these dry substances are roasted at approximately 80.degree. to 120.degree. C. for about 0.5 to 2 hours, the odor can be removed. A dry powdered leaf product of E. ulmoides Oliver tree is most desirable from the standpoint of both convenience and economy.
In this invention, "poultry" means varieties of fowls such as turkeys, ???, guinea fowls, pheasants, quails, ducks and ostriches, raised by man for the purposes of food, leather, and egg production, and "livestock" means varieties of mammals such as mink, pigs, boars, deer, cows and horses, raised by man for the purposes of food, leather, or fur production. And also, "pets" means varieties of mammals such as mice, rats, hamsters, cats, dogs, mink, pigs, cows and horses, raised by man as domestic pets, for racing, or for livestock production. As to the administration of Tochu, incorporation of the dried powder in the animals' feed is appropriate, and the amount added will be approximately 0.1 to 30% of total volume of the feed. Although the administered dose is not critical and depends on the kind of poultry, livestock and pets, it will be around 0.5 g per kilogram of the feed per day for poultry, livestock and pets. More specifically, the concentration of dry powdered Tochu leaves in the feed is prepared as approximately 1 to 5% w/w, and then the mixed feed is given to the poultry, livestock or pets. The operational examples are given below for p
