The present application relates to nutritional compositions comprising lactic acid-producing bacteria.

The present application relates to nutritional compositions comprising lactic acid-producing bacteria.

The present disclosure relates to a novel strain of Lactobacillus fermentum LM1016 (KCCM12468P). The disclosed strain can be useful for treating or preventing cardiovascular diseases, obesity, fatty liver and/or diabetes. The present disclosure also relates to compositions comprising the strain. The compositions can be useful for medicines, health-functional foods, dairy products, fermented products, food additives, animal feeds, etc.

A method and system is provided for using biochar in composting environments to control temperature, moisture, acid and pH levels, odors and bacterial cultures. The method further includes treating the biochar prior to combining it with the compost to further control such parameters.

The present invention relates to dissolvable containers for animal feed micro-ingredients, and methods for using such dissolvable containers to prepare an animal feed mixture. Ingredients required in very small amounts with respect to the rest of the components in an animal feed, i.e., micro-ingredients, can be pre-measured and sealed within the dissolvable containers, which can be made from a water-soluble polymer film, then added to the other feed components when the complete animal feed is being prepared.

The present invention provides a composition comprising HMB and Vitamin D. Methods of administering HMB and Vitamin D to an animal are also described. Vitamin D and HMB are administered to increase muscle mass, strength, and functionality. The combination of Vitamin D and HMB together has a synergistic effect, which results in a surprising and unexpected level of improvement in muscle mass, strength and functionality.
