Problems solved by technology

As used herein, avian influenza is influenza that adversely affects at least some poultry by causing flu symptoms, and possibly death, in the poultry.
The symptoms produced in poultry by avian influenza range from a mild illness to a highly contagious and rapidly fatal “highly pathogenic” form of the disease that can produce severe epidemics.
One problem with avian influenza viruses is that viruses of low pathogenicity can, after circulating for a relatively short period of time, mutuate in highly pathogenic viruses.
Another problem with avian influenza viruses is that they are highly contagious.
A further problem with avian influenza viruses is that they are readily transmitted from farm to farm by mechanical means including, for example, contaminated equipment, vehicles, feed, cages, and clothing.
Still another prob

example 1

[0034] A medicament composition containing 98.0% by weight of a supplemental chicken feed (as a carrier) and containing 2.0% by weight of an anti-avian influenza component consisting of polyphenolic fractions is prepared by admixing the supplemental chicken feed and polyphenolic fractions at room temperature. The polyphenolic fractions are in powder form. The supplemental chicken feed consists of selected conventional chicken feed components, including a majority by weight of dried sea weed meal, along with flax seed meal and dehydrated lemon powder. Any desired supplemental chicken feed can be utilized. It is recommended that one to two tablespoons (about 15 to 30 grams) of the treatment composition be admixed with five to ten pounds of primary conventional chicken feed and that the resulting medicament composition—primary chicken feed mixture be fed to chickens daily such that each chicken consumes about one-quarter to one-half pound of the medicament composition—primary chicken f...

example 2

[0036] A medicament composition containing 98.0% by weight of the supplemental chicken feed (as a carrier) and containing 2.0% by weight of an anti-avian influenza component consisting of theaflavin-3,3′-digallate and an appropriate amount of at least one other polyphenolic fraction is prepared by admixing the chicken feed and the polyphenolic fractions at room temperature.

example 3

[0037] A medicament composition containing 98.0% by weight of the supplemental chicken feed (as a carrier) and containing 2.0% by weight of an anti-avian influenza component consisting of theaflavin-3-monogallate and an appropriate amount of at least one other polyphenolic fraction is prepared by admixing the chicken feed and the polyphenolic fractions at room temperature.

Abstract

A method and composition for preventing and treating Avian Influenza utilizes an effective quantity of polyphenolic(s) and its derivatives in combination with a carrier. The anti-avian influenza ingredient having a composition selected from the group consisting of theaflavin, theaflavin-3,3′-digallate, theaflavin-3-monogallate, theaflavin-3 gallate, theaflavin-3′-gallate, thearubigin, gallic acid, tannic acid, (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), (−)epigalloatechin (EGC), (+)-epicatechin (EC), (−)-gallocatechin gallate (GCG), and catechin.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This is a non-provisional application of a provisional application having an application No. 60 / 846,311 and a filing date of Sep. 20, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of Invention [0003] This invention relates to methods and compositions for preventing and treating disease in poultry. [0004] 2. Description of Related Arts [0005] Poultry are domesticated birds that are raised by farmers for meat and eggs. Poultry includes, without limitation, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, and pheasants. An example of a commercially raised duck is the White Pekin duck. [0006] Examples of commercially raised geese are Embden, Toulouse, Chinese goose, African goose, Sebastopol, Pilgrim, and American Buff breeds. Examples of commercially raised turkeys include White, Hollands, Bronze, Narragansett, Bourbon Red, Black, Slate, Royal Palm, Beltsville, and Small White breeds. [0007] Examples of commercially raised chickens ...
