Chemically modified methionine hydroxy analogs that are protected from degradation by rumen microorganisms. The chemically modified compounds comprise methionine hydroxy analog chemically linked to a fatty acid having at least 12 carbon atoms. Methods for increasing rumen bypass of methionine hydroxy analog and/or providing methionine hydroxy analog to a ruminant's small intestine for absorption, wherein the methods comprise administering to the ruminant a chemically modified methionine hydroxy analog as defined above.

Means for protecting methionine hydroxy analog from rumen degradation

The present invention provides cyclic dimers of alpha acids and polymers derived therefrom. Also provided are processes for preparing and methods of using the cyclic dimers and the polymers derived from the cyclic dimers.

Heteroatom containing cyclic dimers

Hydrocarbyl terminated polyester compounds comprising sulfur-containing repeat units that are useful as plastic modifiers, polymer blend compositions comprising the hydrocarbyl terminated polyester compounds, methods for modifying the performance properties of polymers, and methods for preparing the hydrocarbyl terminated polyester compounds.

Plastic modifiers

Formulations comprising hydroxy methionine analog and having low levels of sulfate ions and bisulfate salts, processes for preparing the formulations, compositions comprising the formulations, and methods of using the formulations.

Hydroxy methionine analog formulations suitable for specialty chemical applications

Antimicrobial compositions comprising sulfur- or selenium-containing, fatty-acylated alpha-hydroxy acid compounds and methods of using said compounds or compositions to inhibit microbial growth.

Antimicrobial compositions and uses thereof

The invention relates to functionalized polymers including homopolymers and copolymers and their uses in industrial applications and in agricultural applications. In particular, the homopolymers and copolymers may be, for example, used in polymer blends, used as nutritives and in feed compositions, and used in combination with a pharmaceutical or nutritive.
