Aqueous composition for livestock animals

Abstract

The present invention relates to aqueous compositions and methods using the compositions for preventing or minimizing live body weight loss in livestock animals subjected to a prolonged period of feeddeprivation, e.g. such as during the period before slaughter or during a period surrounding transportation from one location to another location (e.g. before, during and / or after), and / or for minimizing carcass weight loss or carcass yield loss, and / or meat quality deterioration and / or for preventing or minimizing deterioration of the well-being or health of livestock animals subjected to a prolonged period of feed deprivation, e.g. such as during the period before slaughter or during a period surrounding transportation from one location to another location (e.g. before, during and / or after).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is in the field of livestock liquid supplements and methods for preventing or minimizing live weight loss in livestock animals subjected to prolonged periods of feed deprivation, such as, for example, during the period prior to slaughter or during transport from one location to During a nearby time period (e.g., before, during, and / or after) another location, and / or for minimizing carcass weight loss or carcass yield loss and / or meat quality deterioration, and / or for preventing or minimizing Deterioration of the state or health of livestock animals due to prolonged periods of feed starvation, such as, for example, during the period prior to slaughter or during transport from one location to another (such as before, during and / or or after). Background technique [0002] During the pre-slaughter period or during and / or after transport from one location to another, livestock animals (e.g. cattle, food cattle, poultry, etc.) are expo...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the aforementioned electrolyte-based feed additives are not optimal as such feed additives are generally reported to be ineffective in alleviating or preventing the adverse effects of handling stress, transport stress and / or feed starvation on livestock animals, such as in the pre-slaughter period during or in the vicinity of transport from one location to another (e.g., before, during and / or after transport), and / or to prevent or minimize live weight loss due to prolonged feed starvation and / or Carcass weight loss and poor meat quality are ineffective, such as, for example, during the pre-slaughter period, or for preventing or minimizing transport from one location to another in the immediate vicinity (eg, before, during and / or after), the effects of feed deprivation on the state or health of the livestock have no effect
