A composition includes a carbohydrate, which is pectin with an esterification degree less than 65%. A feed can include the composition. The composition or feed can be used for improving the feed intake pattern in animals and non-human animals or for improving the leanness of meat and other derived animal products.

The invention relates to a food supplement comprising or consisting of Archaebacteria, and particularly methanogenic Archaebacteria, to be used as a probiotic adjunct for animal feed. The supplement can be provided to e.g. farmed animals in addition to standard feed or as a food composition. Such a supplement is particularly useful in aquaculture and proves able in increasing animal growth rates, reducing animal susceptibility to parasitic infections and/or ameliorating animal faecal waste impact on environment. Also encompassed by the present invention are methods of manufacturing a composition comprising the bioactive food supplement as well as uses thereof.

The invention relates to nutritional compositions comprising lactose.calcium salt co-crystals and to the use of these co-crystals for preparing nutritional compositions, as carrier, filler or stabilizer, for accelerating lactose dissolution as well as for efficient calcium fortification of compositions. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to a process for preparing such lactose.calciumsalt co-crystals and nutritional compositions comprising such.

The present invention concerns compositions and methods related to utilizing glycine and N-acetylcysteine for a variety of medical conditions related to reduced levels of glycine, N-acetylcysteine, and/or glutathione.

The invention relates to a food additive which includes at least one clay interspersed with volatile antimicrobial agents. Such an additive can be added to the feed of certain animals, in particular poultry and ruminants, in order to act as a growth promoter and to reduce the risks of infection, as well as the risks of intoxication by mycotoxins.

Animal feed blocks composed of feed pellets are formed by conditioning a meal of a particulated animal feed mixture through heating the meal using steam to cause at least one of the feed components in the feed mixture to bind the meal. The heated meal is mechanically forced through a die to compress the meal into heated pellets. The heated pellets are collected in a pre-formed mold and are compressed in their heated state resulting in the pellets combining to form the animal feed block in the shape of the mold. Systems may use a pellet mill and a hydraulic press where conditioning and pellet formation takes place in the pellet mill and formation of the animal feed block is through compressing a collection of heated pellets using the hydraulic press.
