The invention relates to a carbohydrate composition characterized in that it has a dextrose equivalence of from 20 to 25 and further characterized in that it has a fibre content of from 10 to 90% by weight of the composition on dry basis. The invention further relates to a process for making a carbohydrate composition. Further the invention relates to a food, feed, pet food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial products comprising the carbohydrate composition of the present invention and other ingredients and to the use of the carbohydrate composition of the present invention.

Embodiments of a composition comprising three or four Bacillus species selected from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus coagulans are disclosed. The composition may further comprise, or be used in combination with, feed and/or feed supplements, including feed supplements comprising yucca, quillaja, silica, mineral clay, glucan, mannans, or combinations thereof. Also disclosed is a method of administering the composition and/or combination to animals, such as poultry.

The present invention relates to animal feed compositions comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and uses thereof. In the Examples it is shown that feeding muramidase to broiler chicken increased apparent ileal digestibility of crude protein and crude fat.

A porous and easy water soluble amorphous silica which does not contain tar, crystal, residual agrichemicals, and carcinogens, and method and apparatus to produce same, by using only one burning treatment from a plant including abundant silica, including a method of manufacturing the amorphous silica wherein rice family plants are burned while stirring and introducing into the furnace an atmospheric gas having a mass of 6.7 or more and 20 or less of the weight of the rice family plants, or oxygen gas having a weight of 1.4 or more and 4 or less with respect to the weight of the rice family plants, and at the same time as burning, combustion gas generated at the time of combustion is discharged.

The present invention relates generally to corn dry-milling, and more specifically, to methods for producing a high protein corn meal from a whole stillage byproduct produced in a corn dry-milling process for making ethanol and a system therefore. In one embodiment, a method for producing a high protein corn meal from a whole stillage byproduct includes, in a corn dry-milling process for making ethanol, separating the whole stillage byproduct into an insoluble solids portion and a thin stillage portion. The thin stillage portion is separated into a protein portion and a water soluble solids portion. Next, the protein portion is dewatered then dried to define a high protein corn meal that includes at least 40 wt % protein on a dry basis.
