Abstract
The commercial performance of domestic animals is improved by feeding keto-isocaproate (KIC) in a form nutritionally utilizable by the animals. The KIC enhances blastogenesis of the animal's T-lymphocytes and reduces plasma cortisol levels. The result is a favorable effect on the immune function of the animal, and can be used to counteract stress-associated immunosuppression. The method is applicable to beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and poultry, as raised, respectively, for meat, milk, wood, or egg production. Practical benefits may also include increased rates of gain and reduced cholesterol in meats and eggs, and increased milk, wool, and egg yields.
