A feed composition for animals (livestock, poultry, fish or pet) which contains poly-&ggr;-glutamic acid (and/or degradated product thereof) and, a method for reducing body fat acumulation in animals which comprises feeding animals with a feed composition containing poly-&ggr;-glutamic acid.

Method for reducing body fat accumulation in livestock or poultry

A liquid feed containing 1.about.10% by weight of monosaccharide alone or in combination with 0.1.about.1.0% by weight of sodium bicarbonate is fed to broiler chicks, layers or breeders in the summer season, thereby preventing reduction of body weight increase rate in broiler chicks as well as reduction of egg production yield in layers or breeders, and further preventing the mortality of broiler chicks, layers or breeders caused by heatstroke. In addition a liquid feed containing 1.about.10% by weight of monosaccharide alone or in combination with 0.1.about.1.0% by weight of sodium bicarbonate is fed to layers in a later stage at an ordinary temperature or at lower temperature thereby preventing production of extra large eggs which does not meet standard requirements.
