The source of pine needles is needles of Pinus sibirica, Pinus thunbergii, Pinus tabulaeformis, Pinus koraiensis, Pinus armandii, Pinus yunnanensis, Pinus Simao and Pinus massoniana of Pinaceae.

The Utilization Value of Pine Needles in the National Collection of Traditional Chinese Medicine The volatile oil was extracted from fresh and dried pine needles by fractional extraction with anhydrous ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether as solvents, and its chemical components were analyzed and identified by GC-MS. The results show that fresh pine needles contain 65 components, the main components are alkanes, alkenes and sterols, while the main components in dried pine needles are alkanes, alkenes and sterols. Its main components are alkanoic acid, ketones, esters and sterols, among which the content of sterols is relatively high. The existing forms of components in dried pine needles are relatively stable. Pine needle powder, as a feed additive for livestock and poultry or directly feeding livestock and poultry, can not only save feed and reduce production cost, but also promote the growth and development of livestock and poultry, enhance disease resistance and improve reproductive function. 1, pine needle powder can enhance the production performance of poultry: pine needle powder contains a variety of amino acids and trace elements, which can effectively stimulate the ovulation function of laying hens and improve the laying rate. Adding 3% ~ 5% pine needle powder to the diet of laying hens can increase the egg production by 6.1%~13.8%; The feed utilization rate increased by 15. 1%, the laying weight increased by 2.9%, the fertilization rate increased by 1.0%, and the yolk color was darker. Adding 3% ~ 5% pine needle powder to broiler diet can increase daily gain by 8. 1% ~ 12.0% and feed return by 8. At the same time, pine needle powder contains phytoncide and vitamins, which has the efficacy of disease prevention and disease resistance, and can effectively resist the occurrence of diseases of laying hens. 2. pine needle powder can increase the milk yield of dairy cows. Practice has proved that adding 10% pine needle powder to dairy cows' diet can save feed by 6%, increase milk yield by 7.4% ~ 10.5% and increase income by 4.3%. 3. Let me talk about the application of pine needle powder in pig production. Pine needle powder is a low-energy and high-protein feed, which is rich in amino acids, vitamins and trace elements necessary for animal growth and development. Therefore, adding pine needle powder to pig feed can overcome the shortcomings of low protein content and high digestibility in common farm feed and premixed feed sold in the market, effectively stimulate the appetite of pigs, promote the digestion, absorption and metabolism of pigs, improve the feed utilization rate and accelerate the growth and development of pigs. Adding 3% ~ 5% pine needle powder to the diet of finishing pigs can increase the average daily gain of pigs by 15% ~ 30%, increase the lean meat rate and obviously enhance the disease resistance.

Pine leaves are mainly used to ward off evil spirits. When evil spirits are ward off, they will be safe and healthy, and will not get sick, thus achieving the practical effect of not starving and prolonging life. This is essentially different from ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, Polygonatum sibiricum and other methods of prolonging life, all of which are mainly tonic. According to the theory of invigorating qi in traditional Chinese medicine, fresh pine leaves are the main medicine for nourishing yin, which is dry.

Modern medical research data show that pine leaves contain volatile oil, flavonoids, resin, cellulose, lignin, chlorophyll, carotene, vitamins and trace elements. The volatile oil from pine leaves has expectorant, stomach invigorating, pathogenic wind expelling, antipyretic, diuretic, analgesic, anthelmintic, antibacterial and antiviral effects, and can be used to treat chronic upper respiratory tract infection. Flavonoids in pine leaves can treat vascular fragility and abnormal osmotic pressure. The resin and cellulose contained in pine leaves can reduce blood fat and blood sugar. Through the detection of pine needles by modern technology, it is found that the extract of pine needles is rich in active substances such as sugar, crude protein, crude fat, various amino acids, trace mineral elements, vitamins, bioflavonoids, essential oils, chlorophyll, unsaturated fatty acids, enzymes and coenzymes.
