Novel Composition to Improve Gut Health and Animal Performance and Methods of Making the Same
a composition and gut health technology, applied in the field of nutraceutical formulations, can solve the problems of unclear beneficial effects of cereal -glucans on animal performance, no disclosure of the influence of these non starch polysaccharides (nsps) on mineral absorption, and no research on the ability of these glucans to achieve prebiotic effects, etc., to achieve the effect of reducing the growth of harmful bacteria, boosting the growth of beneficial microorganisms, and reducing harmful bacteria

Production of the Composition
[0077]5000 kg of the Raw material (Ascophyllum nodosum, but raw material could be any seaweed selected from the group mentioned above) in a wet state was washed, milled to approximately 10 mm and washed again. 5000 L of Water was added to a 15,000 L vessel and heated to 80° C. Ten litres of 36% Hydrochloric acid was added followed by the addition of the milled weed. The temperature was adjusted to between 75-80° C. by the addition of live steam and the pH adjusted to pH 4 with additional HCl. The vessel was then agitated for three hours followed by cooling to 50 degrees. The mixture in the vessel was then pumped to a press. The solids retained in the press were recycled and the procedure described above was repeated. The liquid from the press was then clarified, evaporated, and spray dried. A cream coloured product with the following composition was obtained.

Discussion of Example 2
[0086]The results show that the inclusion of GutCare reduces the requirement for high lactose in antibiotic free piglet diets, and improve digestibility in low lactose diets. There was a significant interaction between lactose and GutCare in DMD, NDF, OMD, nitrogen and GE digestibility. The pigs offered the low level of lactose with the GutCare had significant improvements in DMD, NDF, OMD, nitrogen and digestible digestibility of 0.02, 0.06, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.03 respectively compared with pigs offered diets containing the low level of lactose without GutCare.
[0087]However, the inclusion of GutCare to the high lactose diets resulted in a decrease in DMD, NDF, OMD, nitrogen and GE digestibility of 0.02, 0.12, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.03 respectively compared to the high lactose diet unsupplemented with GutCare. The combination of the high lactose and GutCare resulted in an excessive quantity of carbohydrate entering the colon that exceeded the fermentation capacity of t...

[0091]A process for producing the composition from algae comprises the following:
1) Washing the sand and grit off the wet weed, chopping the wet weed to pieces, about 3 to about 10 mm followed by sand separation.
2) Extracting the chopped weed in water at a temperature ideally between about 70-80 deg C. for about 2-3 hours at a pH of about 3.5 to about 4.5 and preferably about pH 4. The seaweed is preferably combined with water. The water may be brought to, or is at, a temperature between about 0° C. to about 100° C., preferably between about 37° C. and 95° C., more preferably about 50° C. to about 80° C., and most preferably about 75° C.
[0092]The process of the invention is ideally carried out at pH 1 to pH 7, more preferably pH 1 to pH 6, more preferably about pH 4 to about pH 5 and most preferably about pH 4.5. In one embodiment the pH of the solution can be adjusted to about pH 4.5 prior to the agitation step. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that a pH betw...
