Evaluation of feeding value of Tremella fuciformis by-product in mice.

The experiment was to study the effects of Tremella fuciformis by-product on the growth status, liver function, immune function and endurance of mice. Three kinds of Tremella fuciformis by-product were taken and low-mediumhigh dose groups were set respectively. The growth status indexes of mice in each group were recorded, and the immune functional indexes and liver functional indexes were determined. The animal fatigue model was established by swimming experiment to explore the effects of feed on the endurance of mice. The results showed that the low-dose fungus bran group and low-dose fungus bran group could not damage the liver tissue of mice and promote the growth and development of mice. The average daily gain of mice in low-dose fungus bran group, medium-dose fungus bran group and low-dose fungus bran material group was 14.52%, 11.29% and 14.52% higher than that in control group. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase was extremely increased (P<0.01) and the content of serum urea nitrogen was extremely decreased (P<0.01), and the endurance of mice was increased. The experiment indicates taht using the bran or pedicle of Tremella fuciformis as feed excipients can promote mouse growth performance, improve immunity ability and endurance without affecting liver function.
