| Tannin is a kind of phenolic substance produced by plant secondary metabolism,which has the characteristics of bitter and astringent taste,astringency,complexing with protein,inhibiting rumen microbial activity and anti-nutrition.When the tannin content in feed is higher than 3%,it will affect the rumen homeostasis,and when it is higher than4%,it will damage the animal body.Caragana korshinskii is a windbreak and sand-fixing shrub in Inner Mongolia,which has high yield and high protein content,but its tannin content is more than 6%,which limits its use as feed.In this study,on the basis of exploring the variation of anti-nutritional secondary metabolites in Caragana korshinskii in different periods,the recombinant strains producing tannase with high efficiency were isolated,screened and constructed,and the growth characteristics,expression stability,enzymatic characteristics and safety of the recombinant strains were evaluated;The effects of the recombinant strain on the conventional nutrients,secondary metabolites and microbial flora of the fermented Caragana korshinskii were analyzed,and the in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics of the recombinant strain fermented Caragana korshinskii were evaluated,which laid the foundation for the feed utilization of Caragana korshinskii.This study is divided into 8 experiments,and the contents and results of each experiment are as follows:Experiment1:Analysis of nutritional value and main bioactive components of Caragana korshinskii in different growth stagesThe composition of conventional nutrients in young,vigorous and withered grass stages was analyzed,and the differences of main active components such as phenols in Caragana korshinskii in different stages were accurately compared by targeted metabolomics.The results showed that the contents of crude protein,true protein and soluble carbohydrate decreased significantly(P<0.05),while the contents of neutral detergent fiber,acid detergent fiber,lignin and crude ash increased significantly(P<0.05),and the contents of polyphenols,hydrolysable tannin and condensed tannin in the withered period were significantly higher than those in other periods(P<0.05);A total of 439 phenolic compounds were identified in Caragana korshinskii in three periods.1-O-p-hydroxycinnamoyl-3-O-caffeoyl glycerol,chrysoeriolin-8-C-glucoside-7-O-(6’-feruloyl)glucoside,quercetin-3-O-(2’-acetyl)glucuronide,isorhamnetin-3-O-(6’-acetyl)glucoside,isorhamnetin-3-O-(6’-malonyl)glucoside,Hydroxy-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid,arbutin,piceoside,grevilleoside C,and D-threo-guaiacylglycero-7-O-β-D-glucoside were significantly enriched in Caragana korshinskii in the withered period,while hydrolytic tannins and condensed tannins were the least and the highest in the withered period.Experiment 2:Isolation,screening and identification of tannase-producing strains and selection of tannase gene fragment18 Tannin-degrading
