Novel nutritional compositions supporting health and growth in mature and young animals are disclosed. The compositions are useful for the feeding of animals, particularly those used for food, performance animals, such as horses, and companion animals, such as dogs and cats. The nutritional compositions and supplements of the present invention are effective not only in supporting the growth and health but also in supporting and stimulating the immune system, and in mitigating undesirable infections. Additionally, particular fractions of the unique peptides produced by the disclosed methods can be separated and combined with and of a number health supporting ingredients, especially fatty acids which in combination with the peptides provide significantly enhanced health benefits.

A bag system for containing a nutritional composition includes a pouch for holding a nutritional composition front and rear panels which are welded to each other by a bottom weld and a top weld and two welds on each opposed side; and a port for filling and. dispensing for feeding at the top of the pouch with a cap/lid to be resealable. An 8 French tube or larger is connected at the port for delivering the composition without dilution and via enteral pump delivery, A nutritional composition has fatty acids; dietary fibers; carbohydrates; a vitamin and mineral blend; proteins; and a whole food blend. A nutritionally complete nutrient composition for enteral feeding comprises a whole food blend and additional nutrients. Preferably; the nutrient composition is provided in a squeezable serving pouch. The nutrient composition is free of major allergens.
