Compositions and methods useful to enhance the development of the immune system of a growing animal are disclosed.

The present invention relates to compositions providing water-soluble or water-dispersible cannabinoids and to methods of producing and administering the same. These compositions improve the versatility and absorption of water insoluble cannabinoid extracts, derivatives, and isolates. When added to water, these compositions are capable of forming a stable emulsion and can provide a concentration of cannabinoids of up to 4 mg/mL without the use of significant heat, ultrasonication, spray drying, or high-pressure extrusion.

Methods and devices heat or cool viscous materials, such as meat emulsions useful for producing food and other products. The devices have a heat exchanger including a first plate, a second plate attached to the first plate, and a first spacer and a second spacer arranged between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate, the second plate, the first spacer, and the second spacer define at least one temperature controlled passage for a product to pass through the heat exchanger.

The invention provides compositions and methods for treatment of epilepsy in an animal. In one embodiment, a method for treating epilepsy in a companion animal can comprise administering to the companion animal a food composition comprising a medium chain triglyceride (MCT), wherein the MCT is present in the food composition in an effective amount for reducing or preventing seizures when the food composition is administered to the companion animal.
