Abstract:

The paper aims to analyze the research progress of straw feed utilization, relevant literature on straw feed research in the Web of Science Core Collection database and CNKI China Academic Literature Network Publishing Database from 2002-2021 were selected to mainly analyze domestic and foreign research strengths, hotspots and frontier of the research. The results were visualized by CiteSpace software. The results indicated that the overall number of Chinese and English literature related to straw feed utilization had been increasing annually from 2002-2021, with a larger volume of researches in countries like China, the USA, and India; The top-ranked research institutions of English and Chinese articles included China Agricultural University and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The cooperation relationships among major authors of Chinese articles transited from a star to a mesh structure, the major authors of English articles showed a variety of cooperation relationships including star, ring, tree and mesh structures. The top-ranked author with 156 English articles is Wanapat, a scholar from Khon Kaen University. Research hotspots in Chinese literature on straw feed utilization are ‘lactic acid bacteria’, ‘associative effects’, ‘silage’, ‘fermentation quality’ and ‘growth performance’, the research frontiers focus on the production and growth performance of ruminants, as well as the effect of additives on the quality of silage/microbial silage fermentation. Research hotspots in the English literature are ‘nutritive value’, ‘growth’, ‘rumen fermentation’, ‘dairy cow’ and ‘degradation’, while research frontiers focus on the dynamic regulating mechanisms of microflora during straw fermentation and rumen fermentation, as well as the combined effects of additives on feed nutrient utilization and animal energy metabolism. Our results could provide references for scholars to distill scientific issues in the field of straw feed utilization.
