    摘要: Methods of feeding young animals involves mixing sensory compounds containing botanicals, essential oils or both with at least one of a milk replacer and/or starter feed and providing the feed to the young animals to reduce feed refusal or intake variation. A method of reducing feed intake variation in a group of young animals includes feeding an effective amount of sensory compounds containing licorice root in at least one of a milk replacer or a starter feed to reduce feed intake variation compared to a group of young animals fed the same diet but without the sensory compounds. Reducing feed refusal in a young livestock animal may also include feeding an effective amount of sensory compounds in one or more of a milk replacer and a starter feed such that the young animal reduces feed refusal compared to a young animal fed the same diet but without the sensory compounds.

    摘要: A system for the protection against degradation during pelleting of one or more physiologically or pharmacologically active substances, comprising compositions in the form of micro particles or granules, particularly for use in the zootechnical and/or veterinary field. The micro particles include a core which contains one or more substances having a pharmacological action, food supplements or diagnostic media, said one or more substances being characterized by the presence, within their chemical structure, of a basic functional group, specifically including an amine functional group. The core comprises also one or more carboxylic acids and/or their salts and eventually one or more excipients. Said core is coated by an outer layer of fats or waxes, and preferably by a mixture of glyceride of fatty acids.

    摘要: Insect feed products include blood meal at a level that enables the product to be used in liquid and patty applications. The product includes particles of dried blood meal and at least one additional feed component. A method of forming a liquid insect feed includes admixing a dry insect feed with a sugar-containing liquid, the insect feed including dried blood meal and at least one additional feed component, the dried blood meal being present in the sugar-containing liquid in an amount such that the admixed insect feed remains in suspension for at least one week. A liquid insect feed product containing particles of spray dried blood and at least one additional feed component suspended in liquid with a viscosity of about 400 to 600 cp and the particles remain suspended in the liquid for at least two weeks.
