A method and composition which is a unique source of cobalt for enhanced production of Vitamin Bin the rumen. It has the advantage of a slow release source of cobalt combined with a fast release source of cobalt. The fast cobalt ion release source which is a soluble source of cobalt is turned over faster in the rumen than the insoluble cobalt sources are turned over.

Method and composition to control rumen release of cobalt to rumen bacteria for making vitamin B12

A method and composition for dietary supplementation of ruminants with folic acid in a manner that assures the folic acid will not be consumed by rumen bacteria and instead will pass through to the intestine and to the animal's blood serum in order to enhance milk production. The folic acid in water is mixed with a water soluble metal salt of zinc, copper, iron or manganese or mixtures thereof to form a metal folate complex.

Folic acid, metal complexes for rumen by-pass nutritional supplementation of ruminants

A method and composition for dietary supplementation of ruminants with folic acid in a manner that assures the folic acid will not be consumed by rumen bacteria and instead will pass through to the intestine and to the animal's blood serum in order to enhance milk production. The folic acid in water is mixed with a water soluble metal salt of zinc, copper, iron or manganese or mixtures thereof.

Folic acid rumen by-pass method and composition

A feed supplement for ruminants to increase milk production, comprised of a carrier and the reaction product of a water soluble polycarboxylic acid, a metal salt, and a C3 to C10 fatty acid, the water soluble carboxylic acid having a pendant carboxylic acid group and being linked to the metal of the metal salt, which is in turn linked to the C3 to C10 fatty acid.

Odor free milk production enhancers for ruminants

A feed supplement energy source for ruminants, swine and poultry comprised of a carrier and the reaction product of a water soluble polycarboxylic acid, a metal salt, and a C3 to C10 fatty acid, the water soluble carboxylic acid having a pendant carboxylic acid group and being linked to the metal of the metal salt, which is in turn linked to the C3 to C10 fatty acid.

Odor free volatile fatty acids as an energy source for ruminants, swine and poultry

This invention relates to supplementation of the diets of domesticated animals (livestock and poultry) with iodine in an enhanced bioavailable manner, that is to say the iodine is more available to the animal than when using conventional sources of iodine, such as calcium iodate. The supplementary compound are alpha amino acid metal iodide complexes.

Enhanced bioavailable iodine molecules

Use of ethylene diamine metal complexes, preferably of copper, zinc, iron and manganese in highly absorbable formats for animal nutrition.

Use of ethylene diamine metal complexes to deliver highly absorbable metals for animal nutrition

A mixed amino acid metal salt complex of the mixed amino acids, lysine and glutamic acid associated with trace metals selected from the group consisting of iron, manganese, copper and zinc to provide highly bioavailable sources of the iron, manganese, copper and zinc and as well to take advantage of the different amino acid transport pathways of lysine and glutamic acid.

Mixed amino acid metal salt complexes

An article including at least one first layer with a first major surface and a second major surface, wherein at least one of the first and second major surfaces is a structured surface; and a cap layer in contact with a structured surface of the first layer.

Laminates with structured layers

Hardenable and hardened dental compositions, and articles including such hardenable and hardened compositions, are provided. The hardenable dental compositions include a thermally labile component including one or more thermally labile groups. Upon heating, the hardened compositions are useful, for example, for reducing the bond strength of orthodontic appliances adhered to tooth structures with the hardened compositions.

Dental compositions including a thermally labile component, and the use thereof

A method for the polymerization of free radically polymerizable vinyl monomers involves polymerizing free radically (co)polymerizable vinyl monomers in a batch reaction under essentially adiabatic conditions in the presence of an non-reactive diluent that can remain in the polymer product.

Method of free radically polymerizing vinyl monomers

Acoustic sensors, preferably surface acoustic wave sensors, and more preferably shear horizontal surface acoustic wave sensors that include soluble mixed with oligomers and/or polymers formed from such monomers), or multifunctional compounds, for example, that can function as either waveguide materials, immobilization materials for secondary capture agents (e.g., antibodies), or both.
