Provided is a feeding method including: heating granular pet food 2 to a temperature range of 30° C. to 70° C. and feeding the granular pet food to a pet.

The invention relates to a new rapid release oral formulation of fipronil or imidacloprid for the effective control of blood-sucking insect populations. Embodiments of the invention relate to their use by incorporation into a feed-through formulation that can be administered orally to host animals such as birds, goats, dogs, and cattle for the rapid effective control of blood sucking insects. The formulation is fast acting and the residue of the chemicals present in the feces serves as a larvacide, effectively controlling newly hatched larvae.

The present invention relates to pelletized feed compositions comprising granules which comprise an inner salt layer and an outer hydrophobic layer. The invention further relates to the use of salt and hydrophobic coated granules for steam treated pelletized feed compositions.

The present invention relates to a method of treating a raw feed material, the method comprising a grinding step, an enzymatic treatment step, and a drying step, wherein the raw feed material is ground to obtain a meal in the grinding step, water is added and mixed into the meal to obtain a mixture, which is then subjected to an enzymatic treatment step with an enzyme preparation, to obtain an enzymatically treated mixture. The enzymatically treated mixture is dried in the drying step. The grinding process is adjusted in such way as to deliver a meal that has a particle size, measured as d50, between ≥100 μm and ≤1000 μm, whereas water is added to achieve a total water content of between ≥15% w/w and ≤40% w/w.

The present invention provides plant based food compositions that are effective in creating a creamy consistency, non-dairy, plant based, frozen desert treat for animals that is comparable to dairy based ice cream. The product is a dry preparation that is in a shelf stable, dry powder form. For consumption, composition is rehydrated and blended to form an emulsion. Emulsion is placed in freezer safe container and in temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Product is served frozen, similar to the way dairy based ice cream is served.
