To provide a feed that does not pollute rearing water, improves the immunity activity of leptocephalus larvae, is capable of directly feeding eel leptocephalus, and is capable of effectively inducing the growth of said larvae into glass eels. This micro-encapsulated aquaculture feed includes: an oil phase 11 having an oil-soluble nutrient component; a water phase 13 which is present inside the oil phase 11, and which includes a water-soluble nutrient component; and a film 15 which includes the oil phase 11 and the water phase 13. The water-soluble nutrient component includes at least one hydrolysate from among hydrolysates of amino acids, oligopeptides, and proteins.

The present invention is directed to plants that display an improved oil quantity phenotype or an improved meal quality phenotype due to altered expression of an HIO nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with an improved oil quantity phenotype or improved meal quality phenotype.

The disclosure provides edible hydration pods (EHPs) for hydrating animals and a method of manufacturing EHPs. In one example, an EHP directed to dogs is disclosed that includes: (1) a casing and (2) a liquid that is within the casing, wherein the liquid is water and the casing is an edible and digestible casing that is flavored for dogs and has a thickness corresponding to a bite force of dogs.

The invention relates to a profile extrusion process for producing fashioned animal food, especially dog chew bones, the process comprising the following steps: loading an extruder with casein, a plasticizer and with additives; preparing a plasticized casein compound containing 10 to 80% casein by weight, wherein the casein and the plasticizer are subject to a mechanical strain at a temperature below 130° C. in the extruder; molding the casein compound into a profile, wherein the casein compound is pressed through the extruder nozzle onto a transfer device and is consolidated on said transfer device; curing the profile, wherein the profile is cooled on the transfer device; portioning the profile into portions of any length, wherein the profile is cut at a corresponding position using a cutting tool.

Aquafeed, animal feed, and other food products, as well as nutritional and pharmaceutical compounds, chemicals and biomaterials are important commodities that can be produced at commercial scale by fermentation of microorganisms. The present invention provides a method for producing these valuable multi-carbon compounds from simple gas feedstocks, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen, by cultivating a consortium of microbial cells specially selected for this purpose in an aqueous culture medium. In addition to exploiting inexpensive feedstocks, such as waste industrial gas for this cultivation, the platform described herein also provides the advantage of removing carbon dioxide and other waste gases from industrial emissions, which would otherwise contribute to global climate change. Furthermore, the cultivation of a microbial consortium can provide highly nutritious components to a feed blend that might not be available from a monoculture.
