4671 results about "Feces" patented technology

Feces (or faeces) are the solid or semisolid remains of food that could not be digested in the small intestine. Bacteria in the large intestine further break down the material. Feces contain a relatively small amount of metabolic waste products such as bacterially altered bilirubin, and the dead epithelial cells from the lining of the gut.

Animal waste disposal system

InactiveUS6202595B1Security mechanismSmall pieceAnimal housingOther apparatusParticulatesFeces
An animal waste disposal system including a housing with an area for holding a bed of particulate litter, a scoop with a plurality of perforations for separating animal's waste from the particulate litter, and a drive mechanism for moving the scoop to remove animal's waste from the bed of particulate litter. The waste-removing operation is carried out by collecting a mixture of animal's waste and particulate litter in the interior of the scoop and moving the scoop in a raised position over the area for holding the bed of particulate litter to allow the collected particulate litter to sift through the perforations in the scoop while retaining animal's waste for disposal into a waste container. The bed of particulate litter may be arbitrarily defined by a plurality of contiguous sections, each of which can be cleaned or processed separately and independently. Two types of retractable partitions are provided to make the waste-removing mechanism inaccessible to the animal during its automatic operation.

Fabric or garment containing fecal enzyme inhibitor

Skin irritation, such as diaper rash, appearing when the skin is allowed to remain in contact with proteolytic enzymes found in feces is prevented by inactivating the fecal proteolytic enzymes by contact with organophilic clays. The organophilic clays are applied to the skin in areas likely to come into contact with feces or to garments such as diapers. A composition suitable for practicing the method of the invention comprises an amount of an organophilic clay effective to inactivate irritating fecal proteolytic enzymes dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic dermatological vehicle. A fabric incorporating organophilic clay, preferably dispersed in a matrix of a superabsorbent polymer is useful for preparing diapers for infants that can help to prevent skin irritation by fecal enzymes.

Animal waste effluent treatment

Animal waste such as fecal material from swine, chicken, turkey, and cattle is converted into useful forms such as fertilizer, other types of soil builders, and even nutrient feed additives. Devices, systems, and methods are provided that allow economical conversion and in many instances, alleviate the production and release of undesirable gases such as sulfide and ammonia. In one embodiment, undesirable anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria are killed at a greater rate than desirable soil compatible aerobic bacteria. The use of low temperature killing diminishes off gassing commonly associated with other techniques, and the use of gas trapping additives such as zeolites provides enhanced soil building qualities such as slow release of nitrogen and slow release of moisture to soil. The methods allow convenient adjustment of composition, allowing conversion of waste into tailored designer fertilizer suited for particular soils. Other embodiments provide other soil building qualities as well as nutrient qualities for feedstock used in animal husbandry such as aquaculture.

A method of enhancing a mineral level in an animal with reduced environmental impact can comprise orally administering a metal amino acid chelate to an animal, wherein the amino acid to metal molar ratio of the metal amino acid chelate is from about 1:1 to 4:1. The metal can contribute to a mineral level within the blood and tissues of the animal that is effective for stimulating growth of the animal to a greater degree than would be realized by administering the same amount of metal in the form of an inorganic metal salt. Additionally, the amount of the metal excreted in the feces of the animal can be less than would be present when administering the same amount of metal in the form of the inorganic metal salt. The metal amino acid chelate can also serve as a source highly bioavailable amino acids, so that the excretion of nitrates by the animal may be reduced while still promoting efficient growth.
