The present invention provides methods of improve efficiency, growth, and performance in an animal by orally administering to the animal an effective amount of a therapeutic clay. The methods can reduce embryonic loss, increase litter size, increase the number of live births, improve the immune status of the maternal animal, reduce the concentration of maternal fecal amino acids, reduce the concentration of maternal fecal short-chained amino acid, increasing litter birth weight in the maternal animal, increase the amount of young animal colostrum intake, reduce young animal pre-weaning mortality, reduce the number of young animals lost due to low viability, reduce the number of weaned young animals, improve the immune status of young animals at weaning, reduce the number of lightweight young animals from nursery to market, increase the number of young animals marketed per sow, and increase calculated litter weight gain.

Therapeutic clay compositions and methods of using

The present disclosure provides feed composition comprising at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acids or at least one conjugated linoleic acid and at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acids with normal or basal feed. After administration of one of the feed compositions, improved health aspects, reduced health issues, reduced mortality, increased carcass gain and repartitioning nutrients to muscles, and controlled carcass iodine value in non-human animals as compared to a control group not fed with the feed composition.

Feed additive compositions

Disclosed are methods of administering one or morestrains to swine. Thestrains that are administered include 747 (NRRL B-67257), 1104 (NRRL B-67258), 1541 (NRRL B-67260), 1781 (NRRL B-67259), 2018 (NRRL B-67261), and BS1999 (NRRL B-67318). Thestrains improve bacterial homeostasis in the gastrointestinal tract by inhibiting bacterial pathogens such as, and. 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.

Bacillus microbial terroir for pathogen control in swine

The invention is directed to compositions and methods are disclosed for improving production of swine. In one embodiment the composition may include a combination of at least one of a biologically pure culture ofstrains. The composition may comprise ayeast product. Methods are disclosed for providing beneficial effects to swine and their offspring, including but not limited to improved performance of the swine.

Yeast and bacterial probiotics combinations and methods of use to improve swine production

Compositions are provided comprising a balance between lysine and essential amino acids and metabolizable energy. The compositions are useful in methods to prevent or treat obesity in an animal without concomitant loss of lean muscle mass. The compositions may also be used in methods to preserve or to cause a gain in lean muscle mass in an animal in need thereof.

Compositions and methods for controlling the weight of animals

Compositions and methods useful to enhance neurologic development of a growing animal are disclosed.

Compositions and methods for enhancing neurological development

Compositions and methods useful to enhance the development of the immune system of a growing animal are disclosed.

Compositions and methods for enhancing immune system of felines

Compositions and methods for increasing lean muscle mass and/or reducing fat gain in growing animals by feeding the animals a composition having a total lysine to metabolizable energy ratio of from about 2.5 to about 6 g/Mcal and comprising (a) arginine in a total arginine to total lysine ratio of from about 1.1 to about 1.6; (b) isoleucine in a total isoleucine to total lysine ratio of from about 0.8 to about 1.3; (c) leucine in a total leucine to total lysine ratio of from about 1.8 to about 3.0; (d) valine in a total valine to total lysine ratio of from about 0.8 to about 1.4; and (e) methionine and cystine in a total methionine plus cystine to total lysine ratio of from about 0.8 to about 1.7.

Compositions and methods for increasing lean muscle mass and/or reducing fat gain

Compositions for preventing or treating kidney disease comprising one or more food ingredients containing relatively low amounts of protein, sodium, and potassium, typically protein in amounts of from about 5% to about 40%, sodium in amounts of from about 0.01% to about 1%, and potassium in amounts of from about 0.01% to about 1%, and methods comprising administering such compositions to patients susceptible to or suffering from kidney disease for the purpose of preventing or treating kidney disease.

Methods and compositions for the prevention and treatment of kidney disease

The present invention provides animal food compositions comprising high quality proteins and highly digestible carbohydrates which result in reduced stool production and stool odor upon ingestion by an animal, and methods for use.

Compositions and methods for reducing stool volume and stool odor

A food composition that is useful for increasing antioxidant levels in the body is provided having increased levels of sulfur-containing amino acids, such as methionine, cysteine, or mixtures thereof. Methods of using these compositions for increasing antioxidant levels in the body in mammals, especially in companion animals, are also provided.
