Disclosed embodiments concern a composition and/or combination, and a method of administering the same as a feed, or to supplement the feed of, aquatic animals, particularly for aquaculture. Disclosed composition and/or combination embodiments may comprise glucan, silica, mineral clay, mannans, yucca, quillaja, a probiotic, and/or an adhesive agent. The adhesive agent may be selected particularly to facilitate administration to aquatic species. In certain embodiments the adhesive agent comprises an oil, such as soy oil, or a syrup, such as molasses, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments the composition and/or combination may further comprise polyphenol, an antimicrobial, and/or a vaccine. Also disclosed is a method for promoting growth and/or immune function in aquatic animals.

A method of improving microbiome within an animal can comprise administering to the animal a composition comprising a probiotic and psyllium, wherein the probiotic comprises at least one of any suitable strain or subspecies of Enterococcus. Compositions containing a probiotic and psyllium are also provided herein.

Disclosed herein are pet food compositions for treating or preventing—inter alia—struvite urolithiasis comprising at N least one of caprylic acid and capric acid; and at least one of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

An emulsifier in powder form for animal feeds is described. A process for preparing the animal feed is also described.

An edible pet chew includes a first high-density material member (or high-density material portion) and a second cellular (low-density) material member (or portion). In one aspect of the present disclosure, an edible pet chew is provided including a high density tube member and a cellular (low-density) material member. In another aspect, an edible pet chew includes a high density sheet member and a cellular (low-density) material member. In another aspect, an edible pet chew includes a co-extruded plural-layered tube member being formed from a layer portion of high density tube material and a layer portion of cellular material. In yet another aspect, an edible pet chew includes a co-extruded “plural-layer-structured sheet” member being formed from a layer portion of high density sheet material and a layer portion of cellular material portion.

The present invention relates to a continuous method for producing products with molecules or macromolecules attached thereto and apparatus for carrying out this method. The method comprises the steps of: (a) placing the object on or in the proximity of a surface; (b) controlling the electrical potential of the surface with respect to its surroundings; (c) activating the object by exposing it to an electrical discharge; (d) contacting the object with the molecule or macromolecule to be attached. Such macromolecules include bacteriophage. Thus products of methods of the invention are for prevention and amelioration of bacterial contamination of the product of methods of the invention or materials in contact with said products.
