Application of Lentinan in Animals and Plants

Mushroom polysaccharide is a purified polysaccharide with natural biological activity extracted from Lentinus edodes, which has a good application prospect.

1. Application in crop cultivation

Lentinan can reduce the incidence of potato scab and improve tuber yield and potato quality.

The leaves were sprayed with different concentrations of lentinan dilutions, and it was found that the 800-fold dilution had a control effect of 79.98% on the scab. The mushroom polysaccharide can also effectively increase the content of starch, soluble protein, vitamins, etc. and the activity of various enzymes.

Lentinan can directly or indirectly act on plants, inducing cells to produce active factors to reduce the harm caused by plant pathogens to plants. Pay attention to choose the appropriate concentration and combine with the growth conditions of the plants for application, different application concentrations and time will produce different effects.

At the same time, as a control agent, lentinan has good wetting and penetration effects on the plant surface, can be quickly absorbed and degraded by plants, and is safe and non-toxic to humans, animals and the environment, and can be used as a disease control agent for pollution-free plants.

2. Application in animal breeding

Many animal vaccines need to work together with immune enhancers to achieve better results, but many chemical immune enhancers have side effects such as drug residues and body discomfort. Mushroom polysaccharide can enhance the immune effect of swine fever vaccine by improving the immune response of pigs, and it is non-toxic and has no side effects.

Diluted with different concentrations of lentinan solution and used it to immunize weaned piglets, the experiment detected that the serum antibody level of swine fever increased, indicating that lentinan can significantly increase the immune effect of swine fever vaccine.

Lentinan can directly or indirectly act on animals to enhance their immune properties and improve animal health. It is hydrolyzed or enzymatically hydrolyzed in the body, and the remaining degradation products are non-toxic and have good biological safety. It can be used as a safe, pollution-free and pollution-free feed additive.
