Benefits of technology

This patent describes a feed composition for non-human animals that can improve their health, performance, and the quality of products derived from them. Specifically, the feed can reduce diarrhea, decrease mortality, improve intestinal health, reduce microbial pathogens, decrease cytokine panel measuring TNF-alpha, and increase body weight gain, feed conversion rate, and overall body weight. The feed composition can be particularly effective when used with chickens, reducing impacts of C. perfringens in broilers and improving breast meat yield, reducing product variability, and reducing organoleptic qualities in cooked chicken.

Problems solved by technology

Farmers engaged in animal husbandry face many challenges.
Global environmental challenges, including global climate changes and the growing threat of disease transmission to and from agricultural animals, add further challenges.
Additionally, farmers need a low cost method to produce these products since the profit margin in these areas can be quite low.

the Effect of Feeding Ground Peppers to Broilers Challenged with E. maxima and C. perfringens

[0104]This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ground peppers in broilers challenged with Eimeria maxima and Clostridium perfringens. In this and all subsequent examples, ground peppers refers to encapsulated ground peppers comprising 50% ground peppers and 50% encapsulating material. A total of 256 day-old male Cobb×Cobb chicks were obtained from a commercial hatchery. Chicks were vaccinated for Marek's and reovirus at the hatchery. The birds were randomly assigned to 32 battery cages with eight chicks per cage. A total of five treatments (Table 1) were allotted, resulting in eight cages per treatment. Temperature and lighting were adjusted according to the husbandry guidelines of the Cobb broiler (Cobb, 2012). Each cage was equipped with a feed and water trough. Water and feed were provided ad libitum. The chicks were fed a 22.5% crude protein corn soybean-based diet (Table 2) ...

the Effect of Feeding Ground Peppers to Broilers Challenged with C. perfringens

[0112]This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ground peppers at two inclusion levels in broilers raised in pens on new litter and pens top dressed with litter comprising C. perfringens from a previous necrotic enteritis (NE) challenge study (Table 4). A total of 1200 day-old male Ross×Ross chicks were obtained from a commercial hatchery. Chicks were vaccinated for Marek's and reovirus at the hatchery.

[0120]This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ground peppers and formulated yeast fed to broilers challenged with C. perfringens (Table 7). A total of 2000 day-old male Ross×Ross chicks were obtained from a commercial hatchery. Chicks were vaccinated for Marek's and reovirus at the hatchery.

Abstract

The present invention provides feed compositions comprising a basal animal diet supplemented with direct fed microbial (DFM) and at least one of a formulated yeast, a capsicum product, and an antimicrobial clay. The feed compositions improve growth, general health, intestinal health, and reduce microbial pathogens in non-human animals fed the feed compositions.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 587,860 filed Nov. 17, 2017, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure generally relates to feed additive compositions, methods for improving growth, improving health, improving intestinal health, and the reduction of microbial pathogens in non-human animals.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Animal husbandry is a branch of agriculture concerned with raising, breeding, and day to day care of animals. Farmers engaged in this branch of agriculture produce meat, eggs, milk, and other products for the consumer. Additionally, these farmers are engaged in breeding and raising a wide variety of animals.[0004]Farmers engaged in animal husbandry face many challenges. The demand for food and food products from animal husbandry is anticipated to increase significantly as the population is growing...
