Abstract:Soybean meal,bran and molasses were used as raw materials to ferment protein feed with Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.The effects of inoculation amount,temperature,fermentation time,ratio of raw material to water,amount of bran and molasses on crude protein content were studied through single factor experiment.The response surface method based optimal fermentation conditions were as follows: 25g (90% soybean meal,7% bran,3% molasses) loaded raw material,0.375g MgSO4,0.25 g (NH4)2SO4,0.25 g urea and 0.25 g K2HPO4;The ratio of raw material to water was 1∶1,and the microbial inoculation amount was 16%;The fermentation temperature and time were 33.2℃ and 86.6 hours.Under the optimal fermentation conditions,the crude protein and true protein content reached 57.59% and 53.65% respectively,which was 17.42% and 24.59% higher than the control.The number of viable microbe reached 3.62×109 cfu/g.Urease activity decreased by 92.41%.The optimized combined fermentation could effectively increase the protein content,degrade the macromolecular protein and antigen protein,and improve digestibility of soybean meal,which was suitable for the industrial production of soybean meal fermentation.
