Pressed powder pet chew products and methods of manufacturing such products are disclosed. Pressed powder pet chew products may comprise “pressed bone” and “knotted bone” pet chew products. Pressed bone pet chew products may comprise a shaped, pressed and hardened powder mixture. The powder mixture may comprise a cheese powder which may optionally be mixed with other powdered substances. The powder mixture may be heated, poured into a mold, pressed, and dried in order to produce the single block pressed powder pet chew products. Knotted bone pet chew products may comprise multiple stacked and knotted layers of hardened powder mixture. The powder mixture may be heated, formed into strips, stacked, knotted, and dried in order to produce the knotted bone pet chew products.

A method for monitoring the presence or absence of a megavirus in animal feed, an animal feed ingredient, or an animal product uses a surrogate virus assay. The surrogate virus assay generally includes, inoculating the animal feed, animal feed ingredient, or animal product with a surrogate virus as a proxy for the megavirus, subjecting the animal feed, animal feed ingredient, or animal product to a treatment that inactivates the megavirus and the surrogate virus, waiting a predetermined period of time, and determining the presence or absence of the surrogate virus in the animal feed, animal feed ingredient, or animal product, thereby monitoring the presence or absence of the megavirus in the animal feed, animal feed ingredient, or animal product.

Disclosed is a lipid composition including, per 100% of its weight:—from 40% to 99.9% by weight of a component including, per 100% of its weight, from 90% to 100% by weight of beeswax and up to 10% by weight of at least one other lipid excipient,—from 0.1% to 60% by weight of at least one lipophilic surfactant.

The present invention relates to novel depside trimeric compounds for improving skeletal muscle plasticity regeneration to maintain or increase muscle function and/or muscle mass by modulating muscle stem cells. For example, the present invention is useful for subjects to promote muscle repair and/or subjects suffering from precachexia, cachexia, sarcopenia, myopathy, dystrophy and/or recovery after muscle injury or surgery.

The present invention relates to methods for improving fish feed conversion rates, health and survival by tachykinin antagonists. Specific fish feed consumptions comprising tachykinin antagonists are also provided.

The present disclosure provides methods and formulations for reducing ammonia and carbon dioxide emissions from a bovine using lubabegron, or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof. The present disclosure also provides bovine feed additives and bovine feed compositions.

Methods and materials for modulating aluminum tolerance in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding aluminum tolerance-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased tolerance to aluminum and methods of increasing plant yield in soil containing elevated levels of aluminum.
