Compositions and methods for converting at least one polyphenol to protocatechuic acid (PCA) using1579, or active variants thereof, are provided. Conversion of polyphenols, such as quercetin, to PCA can decrease inflammation, decrease cortisol levels, and increase milk quality and milk production quantity in milk-producing agricultural animals. Accordingly, provided herein are compositions comprising1579, or an active variant thereof, for administration to humans for decreasing inflammation or for administration to milk-producing agricultural animals for decreasing inflammation, decreasing cortisol levels, and increasing milk quality and milk production.

Microbial compositions to increase the production of PCA from polyphenols

strains, compositions and methods are disclosed for reducing growth of microorganisms in a feed.strains, compositions and methods are disclosed for providing beneficial effects to animals, including but not limited to increasing performance of the animal.

compositions and methods of use with ruminants

Disclosed are methods of administering one or morestrains to poultry. Thestrains improve bacterial homeostasis in the gastrointestinal tract by inhibiting bacterial pathogens such asand. Administering thestrains also improves performance such as weight gain and feed conversion. Useful combinations ofstrains and methods of using one or morestrains are also provided.

Methods of microbial treatment of poultry

This disclosure relates generally to a microbial treatment for poultry. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a direct fed microbial composition including one or more lactic acid bacteria strains in combination with one or morebacteria strains configured to inhibit gastrointestinal pathogens in a bird. A method of use is also disclosed herein.

Lactobacillus and bacillus based direct fed microbial treatment for poultry and method of use

A feed additive composition comprising a direct fed microbial in combination with a protease, a xylanase, an amylase and a phytase, and a method for improving the performance of a subject or for improving digestibility of a raw material in a feed (e.g. nutrient digestibility, such as amino acid digestibility), or for improving nitrogen retention, or for avoiding the negative effects of necrotic enteritis or for improving feed conversion ratio (FCR) or for improving weight gain in a subject or for improving feed efficiency in a subject or for modulating (e.g. improving) the immune response of the subject or for promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of a subject, which method comprising administering to a subject a direct fed microbial in combination with a protease, a xylanase, an amylase and a phytase.

Feed additive composition

The present invention relates to a composition includingstrains 3A-P4 ATCC Accession No. PTA-6506, 22C-P1 ATCC Accession No. PTA-6508, and LSSA01 NRRL Accession No. NRRL B-50104. The present invention also relates to a method of administering an effective amount of a composition comprisingstrains 3A-P4 ATCC Accession No. PTA-6506, 22C-P1 ATCC Accession No. PTA-6508, and LSSA01 NRRL Accession No. NRRL B-50104 to a calf.
