A method is described for improving the digestibility of a forage diet for ruminant animals. A forage, including alfalfa, Chinese wildrye, corn silage, straw silage, corn stover, ryegrass or TMR, is treated with an enzyme product having cellulase, xylanase, beta-glucanase, pectinase, mannanase and alpha-galactosidase activities.

Methods and systems for controlling an insulin pump in response to glucose measurements are responsive to a base insulin delivery profile and a temporary insulin delivery profile. These can be used, e.g., to control blood glucose level of a subject using a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin infusion pump. During a selected time range, an insulin amount for the pump to supply is determined using the temporary insulin delivery profile. Outside that time range, the insulin amount is determined using the base insulin delivery profile. The temporary insulin delivery profile can specify an exact amount to be supplied (a “hard” profile), a nominal amount to be supplied if doing so does not drive glucose out of a desired zone (“soft”), or a soft profile with a minimum amount of insulin to be delivered (“semi-soft”).

The invention discloses an astragalus cone inulin sports drink and a preparation method thereof. The beverage is made of the following raw materials in parts by weight: astragalus polysaccharide 40-70, echinacea polysaccharide 20-50, mint 5-20, licorice 5-20, vitamin B1 0.01-0.04, vitamin B2 0.02-0.08, vitamin B3 0.1-0.3 , vitamin B5 0.01~0.02, vitamin B6 0.01~0.04; the preparation method is to hydrolyze astragalus polysaccharides and echinacea purpurea polysaccharides into oligosaccharides under the action of enzymes, and then mix with mint licorice extract, vitamin B (including B1, B2, B3, B5 , B6) and flavoring agent compounded.
