In general, embodiments of the present invention essential oil animal treatment compositions, and methods of making and using such products and compositions. The compositions comprise an essential oil fraction include including oregano essential oil, thyme essential oil, and cinnamon essential oil. The compositions can optionally include one or more emulsifiers and be in the form of an emulsion. An emulsifier can include arabinogalactan. The use of these products and compositions can enhance the health and feed efficiency of animals.

The present invention provides a mycotoxin adsorbent based on a highly specific betaine derivative for trichothecenes A and B, and especially for vomitoxin (or deoxynivalenol) and T-2 toxin; as well as a process for preparing said mycotoxin adsorbent. The mycotoxin adsorbent of the invention is obtained by modifying the surface of an aluminosilicate by means of an organic amphoteric compound with a carboxyl group that provides it with high polarity properties. The mycotoxin adsorbent is useful for preparing balanced feed from animals that avoid the toxic effects of mycotoxins.

A memorial item is provided which comprises a mixture of animal feed and cremated human remains in the form of ashes. The mixture is edible to animals, and is intended to allow a deceased to return to nature in a natural manner. The memorial feed item may be formed as a block for feed items such as a bird feeder or mineral lick, or may be pelletized for other animal feed.

The invention relates to the use of at least one acid stable protease in poultry feed in combination with anti-coccidial vaccination of birds for increasing the performance of vaccinated animals. It has been found surprisingly that the additions of at least one acid stable protease according to the invention to the diet of cocci-vaccinated birds have a significant improvement of animal performance. The inventors found that especially the use of serine proteases improve the performance of vaccinated broiler chickens, in particular, the use of serine proteases increases weight gain and improves Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of cocci-vaccinated birds.

The present invention provides feed additive composition comprising fermented yeast, sodium metabisulfite, and optionally thiamin. When a normal or basal feed is supplemented with the feed additive, improved growth, improved health, improved intestinal health, and a reduction of microbial pathogens is seen in non-human animals as compared to a control group.
