A method of enhancing weight gain and feed efficiency in a ruminant, comprising administering to the ruminant a feed efficiency enhancing amount of a choline-containing composition, wherein the choline-containing composition is encapsulated in such a manner as to reduce decomposition of the choline-containing composition in the rumen of the ruminant when administered.

A method for rapidly determining mold growth on feed is disclosed. The method comprises placing a sample of feed containing mold spores in a closed container; maintaining an environment that will support rapid mold growth; measuring the change in concentration of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide; and correlating the concentration change with the rate of mold growth.

Measurement of mold growth on amorphous substrates

An animal feed which is improved by the addition of a nonviable antibiotic biomass. The biomass may be obtained by drying a fermented biomass of an organism capable of producing an antibiotic which is effective against mycotoxin contamination. The resultant animal feed is substantially free of fungal mycotoxin contamination.
