Various aspects relate to an animal feed or feed product for forming the animal feed including beetroot powder. The feed product includes a premix, a concentrate, a base mix, a supplement, a top dress, or a combination thereof. The beetroot powder is 0.001 wt % to 5 wt % of the animal feed. Various aspects relate to methods of feeding the animal feed to an animal.

The present disclosure is directed to genetically modified bacteria that produce a diffusible signal factor (DSF). The disclosure also provides methods for treating or preventing Salmonella infection/invasion in a subject. The disclosure further provides vectors and compositions for carrying out the methods disclosed herein.

Compositions including odd chain saturated fatty acids, and salts and derivatives thereof, and methods for treatment or prophylaxis of conditions related to healthy body weight maintenance are provided, including compositions and methods for supporting a healthy body weight, for satiety/reduced calorie consumption, and/or for efficient fat metabolism.

A premix is disclosed. The premix includes a nitrate compound and salts thereof in the amount of greater than about 50% by weight of the premix. The premix also includes vitamins and trace minerals. The premix is formulated for use in at least one of a gestation or lactation phase of an animal and in an amount of less than about five percent by weight (5.0 wt %) inclusion per metric ton of the premix. A supplement for an animal feed for feeding during at least one of an animal's gestation phase and/or lactation phase is also disclosed. A method for feeding an animal is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method of determining the need of adding a mitigant to feed for inactivating viruses that might be present in said feed. The preferred mitigant is a mixture comprising benzoic acid flakes and a powder that comprises eugenol and thymol. Said mixture inactivates viruses quickly, even when added in low concentration only. This applies in particular (but not only) to porcine epidemic diarrhea vims (PEDV). The animal feed, by way of the invention, is thus rendered to be substantially free of harmful viral RNA.
