Problems solved by technology

The second major problem is related to the composition and processing of the feed, which often lacks essential micronutrients needed for optimal health
A third issue is the environment, which often restricts the animals' movement and causes stress due to overcrowding and / or lack of species-appropriate socialization
As in the aforementioned patent application, organic acids measured by fecal VFA concentrations (i.e., excreted VFAs) were used as proxy markers of gut microflora composition, and no attempt was made to directly measure VFA supplementation concentrations (i.e., consumed VFA) on gut health, nor quantified the synergistic effect of nutritional interventions with probiotics and direct feeding

Embodiment

[0049] Mixture formulation and testing

[0050] To produce a feed supplement according to one embodiment of the invention, 10% to 24% lactic acid (l-lactic acid CAS 79-33-4), 35% to 50% propionic acid (pure propionic acid CAS 79-09 -4) and 2.5% to 9.9% formic acid (CAS64-18-6) were combined and neutralized with ammonia (as CP grade ammonium hydroxide) as needed to buffer the solution and adjust the initial pH to 3.2 to 4.2.

[0051] All chemicals were purchased from local and global commercial sources.

[0052] Carboxylic acids are Bronsted-Lowry acids ( -Lowry acid) because it is a proton (H+) donor. They are the most common type of organic acids. Carboxylic acids are generally weak acids, meaning they only partially dissociate into H+ cations and RCOO- anions in neutral aqueous solution. For example, in a 1 molar solution of acetic acid at room temperature, only 0.4% of the acid molecules dissociate. Introduce pKa as an index to represent the acidity of weak acids, whe...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a feed supplement for addition to drinking water, for improved animal health. The feed supplement includes short chain fatty acids, a nitrogenous compound, a source ofinositol and a source of xylanase. The feed supplement reduces the need for pharmaceutical inputs and increases both animal health and yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to water additives for addition to drinking water, and more particularly to feed supplements comprising both nutrients and microbial components for addition to drinking water to improve animal health. Background technique [0002] Farm animals raised in extensive systems are known to have a number of problems, most related to their stocking density, which can affect their health and overall production. The first is disease, which spreads rapidly between overcrowded (and often genetically highly homogeneous) animals and can cause both death and yield loss. The second major problem is related to the composition and processing of the feed, which often lacks essential micronutrients needed for optimal health. A third issue is the environment, which often restricts animal movement and causes stress due to overcrowding and / or lack of species-appropriate socialization. This stress, along with other environmental stressors such ...
