Some embodiments of the present livestock structures comprise a floor, wherein the floor is configured to support livestock housing; a roof, wherein a majority of the roof is substantially parallel to the floor; and one or more supporting structures configured to support the roof; in some embodiments, the floor comprises a non-zero slope. Some embodiments of the present livestock structures comprise a passageway extending a majority of a distance between a first side and an opposing second side of the structure, wherein the passageway is positioned at an elevation that is below an elevation of the floor.

The present invention relates to a feed supplement which comprises a resin acid based composition comprising over 10% (w/w) resin acids for use in the prevention of growth of harmful bacteria in the animal digestive tract, in the prevention of intestinal disorders, in the modulation of microbial population of the animal digestive tract, in enhancing rumen fermentation, lowering rumen methane production and/or in binding toxins. The invention further relates to a use of the feed supplement and a feed composition comprising the feed supplement.

The present invention relates to improved formulations of propandiol mononitrate and derivatives thereof as well as to the production of such formulations.

The present invention relates to storage-stable formulations of 3-nitrooxypropanol and derivatives thereof as well as to the production of such formulations.

The invention further relates to a use of the feed supplement and a feed composition comprising the feed supplement.

Methods for formulating an adjusted diet and/or a dietary supplement for a ruminant are disclosed. The adjusted diet and/or dietary supplement are formulated to mitigate an amino acid deficiency of the ruminant's unaltered diet and provide the ruminant with an amino acid-balanced diet. Methods of administering the adjusted diet and/or dietary supplement also are disclosed.
