A system, method, and apparatus for ensiling hydroponically grown cellulosic material is disclosed. A grower system for growing plants and crops provides an aerobic environment by controlling a plurality of environmental factors that decrease environmental stresses surrounding the plants or crops. The decrease in environmental stresses increases hydrolytic enzyme activity and releases additional hydrolytic enzymes. The hydrolytic enzymes breakdown a plurality of complex storage molecules of the plant or crop into simple storage molecules. The breakdown of the plurality of complex storage molecules increases the nutrient availability and dry matter of the ensiled cellulosic material as well as the shelf life of the ensiled cellulosic material.

This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to palatable support compositions for administering one or more medicinal products to an animal, for example, a feline. The palatable support compositions include (i) from about 20% to about 40% by weight of a humectant plasticizer; (ii) from about 0.5% to about 8% by weight of one or more gelling agents; and (iii) from about 20% to about 50% by weight of protein, on a dry matter basis. The present disclosure further provides methods for preparing and use of such palatable support compositions.

A method for preparing granulated creep feed, the method including: 1) uniformly mixing 100 parts by weight of a powder material with between 24 and 30 parts by weight of water to yield a mixture; 2)heating the mixture at a first heating stage to a first temperature of 45-60° C., and maintaining the first temperature for 25-30 s; heating the mixture at a second heating stage to a second temperature of 65-90° C., and maintaining the second temperature for 20-25 s; and heating the mixture at a third heating stage to a third temperature of 95-120° C., and maintaining the third temperature for 15-20 s to yield an aged material; and 3) extruding the aged material into strips by an extruding device, cutting the strips into granules, and dispersing and cooling the granules.

The present technology generally relates to a method for determining inclusion rates of red algae into livestock feed and livestock supplements.

There is provided a pellet composition of ruminant feed which reduces the risk of acidosis in the rumen and a process of making such ruminant feed.

The present invention relates to a method for extracting proteins from sea lettuce, and more specifically to a method for preparing a sea lettuce extract with a high protein content by removing pigments, polysaccharides, etc. from sea lettuce to obtain a sludge and incubating the sludge with a microorganism of the genus Laceyella. According to the method of the present invention, a sea lettuce extract with a high protein content is prepared from sea lettuce using a microorganism of the genus Laceyella.
