The present invention relates to sobrerol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which can promote differentiation of myoblasts to form myotubes, thereby preventing muscle weakness and effectively improving muscle functions. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition containing the same can be effectively used for preventing or treating muscle weakness related diseases.

This disclosure provides a highly concentrated protein composition and the processes of making the same. The compositions are shelf-stable, easy to use and have excellent nutritional values as compared to other protein products. The compositions may be prepared from animal sources, such as chickens or turkeys.

This invention relates to a non-medical food additive that is an animal growth promoter containing 99% pure zeolite partially or totally exchanged with a C.sup.m+ cation (in other words a synthetic zeolite) with the general formula I below: $\frac{1}{m}{\mathrm{yC}}^{m+}\left(1-y\right)\frac{1}{n}{M}^{n+}{\mathrm{AlO}}_2{x\mathrm{SiO}}_2$ in which x is greater than 1 and advantageously between 1 and 15; M.sup.n+ represents an alkaline or alkaline earth exchangeable ion, advantageously Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, Ca.sup.2+ or Li.sup.+; n is between 1 and 2; y is the exchange rate and is between 0.001 and 1; C.sup.m+ is a metallic cation chosen from among copper Cu.sup.2+, silver Ag.sup.+ or zinc Zn.sup.2+; m is between 1 and 2. It also relates to an additive premix and a supplemented food containing it and a method of improving the growth of animals.

In some embodiments, a composition and/or method may include a rodenticide binding system formulated for safe and effective mixture into various feed rations which are fed to monogastric and ruminant animals such as poultry, swine, cows, cattle, and fish, among others. The rodenticide binding system includes novel combinations of one or more of an organoclay, an activated hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate clay, and a synthetic hectorite clay. In some embodiments, the binding composition may include organoclay, bentonite, hectorite, Leonardite, and/or any combination thereof. The toxin binding complex may effectively bind some pesticides (e.g., rodenticides) in the animal's digestive system, preventing their absorption and the consequent damages to the animal.
