The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a fermented soy product comprising: inoculating a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CJ24-34 (KCCM12038P) strain into a soybean meal or a soy protein concentrate; and obtaining a fermented soybean meal or a fermented soy protein concentrate, which is fermented by culturing the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain, a fermented soy product prepared by the method, and an animal feed composition comprising the fermented product. The fermented soy product prepared by the method does not contain mucilage, shows an excellent antibacterial activity, and has a high content of low molecular weight peptides.

Provided herein are methods for the treatment of GI tract diseases and conditions and/or symptoms associated with such diseases and conditions in a mammal. Also provided are preparations and compositions for use in the methods. Also provided are methods of growing and preparing Chlamydomonas biomass for administration to a mammal in need of treatment of GI tract diseases and conditions and/or symptoms associated with such diseases and conditions.

The present invention relates to an animal foodstuff and a method for manufacturing the same. In a preferred variat the invention relates to an equine foodstuff. More particularly the invention relates to a hangable, low sugar, forage based foodstuff for horses in the form of forage combined with an edible binder to give a block of forage based edible material and a means that permits suspension of said block of forage based edible material from a suitable suspension point.

A complicated enzyme system and microorganisms are used for acting on straws and food industrial residues to convert the straws and the food industrial residues into glucose and part of oligosaccharide, amino acids, small peptides, inositol and nucleic acids and to supply mineral substances, trace elements and nutritional substances such as vitamins in the straws and the food industrial residues to monogastric animals for use. Through adding of Chinese herbal medicines, the digestion function of a monogastric animal may be enhanced, and the immune function of the monogastric animal may be enhanced, thereby reducing occurrence of diseases. In addition, the complicated enzyme system supplements exogenous enzymes in a digestive tract of the monogastric animal to reduce protein and phytic acid residues in excrements, reduce odor and improve the environment of a hog house, thereby obviously reducing drug and treatment costs.

Compositions and methods for influencing the recovery of an animal from the effects of strenuous physical activity. The compositions generally comprise about 4% to 6% readily absorbable carbohydrate; about 10% to 30% maltodextrins; about 20% to 50% starch, for a total of about 40% to 80% carbohydrate; about 20% to about 40% protein; and optionally one or more antioxidants. The methods generally comprise administering the composition to an animal within the period from about 120 minutes before initiation of or 120 minutes after completion of the physical activity.

The present invention belongs to a technical field of nutrition additives for animal, and specifically discloses a nutrition supplement for animal, comprising eggs of an edible insect. Further, the eggs of the edible insect are one or more of eggs of Hermetia illucens L., eggs of Tenebrio molitor and eggs of fly. The present invention finds that the eggs of edible insect provide better effects such as enhancing nutrition, promoting growth and health care for animals, especially for newborn animals, weaning animals, weak animals or sick animals. The nutrition supplement provided by the present invention can be prepared easily and used conveniently. The present invention using the eggs of edible insect as a main component of the nutrition supplement can not only improve a health level of animals including livestock, aquatic animals and the like, but also enhance a feed intake, a feed conversion level and a comprehensive benefit of cultivation with a good application prospect.

A novel method of reducing the melting point of a peptide-based biopolymer using a nitrogen-containing compound as a plasticizer is provided. The peptide-based biopolymer can be keratin or silk. The nitrogen-containing compound can be one or more amino acids or other nitrogen-containing compounds (except urea), all of which have a melting temperature above approximately 133 C., the decomposition temperature of urea. Pellets made using this novel process can be used as animal feed and soil amendments (fertilizer) to increase the adsorption of amino acids in the animal or in the soil, respectively.
