Abstract

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), also known as grasshopper, ant vegetables, etc., is a common Chinese herbal medicine. Young stems and leaves of purslane can be used as vegetables and are also a good livestock and poultry feed. Purslane contains polysaccharides, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, organic acids and other secondary metabolites, which have good antibacterial, anti-tumor, antioxidant, regulation of blood glucose and blood lipids and other biological functions. In this paper, the main biological functions, action mechanism of purslane and its application in livestock and poultry production are reviewed in order to provide a reference for the scientific utilization of purslane in the field of animal husbandry.
