The present invention provides methods for improving gut health. In particular, the invention provides methods for improving gut health by improving the digestibility of dietary proteins, decreasing the flow of protein to the lower gastrointestinal tract, and/or decreasing the levels ofbacteria the upper intestinal tract of a subject. The methods comprise administering to the subject a supplement consisting essentially of at least one protease.

Methods for improving gut health

A nutrient formulation including moisture, a coloring agent, a palatability modifier, and/or an adjuvant which is designed for use in poultry and other animals, and a method of feeding it which improves subsequent livability, cumulative feed efficiency, weight gain, and resistance to disease challenge or other stresses is disclosed.

Nutrient formulation and process for enhancing the health, livability, cumulative weight gain or feed efficiency in poultry and other animals

A method is disclosed for determining the viability of sporocyst-forming protozoa. The method involves treating a sample of protozoa with at least one vital dye and determining the viability of the protozoa in the sample by differential staining. The viability of protozoa in the sample can then be correlated with the viability of protozoa in the population from which the sample was obtained.

Viability assay for sporocyst-forming protozoa

A nutrient formulation including moisture which is designed for use in poultry and other animals, and a method of feeding it which improves subsequent livability, cumulative feed efficiency and weight gain is disclosed.

A nutrient formulation including moisture which is designed for use in poultry and other animals, and a method of feeding it which improves subsequent livability, cumulative feed efficiency and weight gain is disclosed. The method comprises making available for consumption ad libitum a high moisture material containing at least about 20% by weight water to the poultry or other animals before they are offered dry food ad libitum.

Nutrient formulation and process for enhancing the health, livability,

A nutrient formulation including moisture which is designed for use in very young poultry, and a method of feeding it which improves subsequent livability, cumulative feed efficiency and weight gain is disclosed. The method includes feeding a high moisture solid containing at least about 20% by weight water to the poultry before the poultry is allowed to eat dry food ad libitum.
