A method for using treated biochar to reduce the overall environmental impact of farming and minimize the carbon footprint of farms is provided. The method comprising engaging in one or more of the following practices: (1) combining treated biochar with feed or using biochar as feed for animals to reduce methane from enteric fermentation and increase animal health and nutrition; (2) combining treated biochar with compost, animal bedding or manure piles to reduce odor and increase nutrient retention; (3) applying treated biochar to lagoons to reduce odor and treat water; (4) applying treated biochar to pastures to increase pasture health; (5) applying treated biochar to crops to increase crop productivity, healthier roots and prevent fertilizer leaching; and (6) using the carbon negativity of a produced biochar to reduce the overall farm or ranch carbon footprint.

An antimicrobial composition of buckminsterfullerene with saponified phosphorus acid functional groups is provided to disassemble or make virus particles inert, and to inhibit viral and fungal proteases using catalytic desulfurization. This composition is formulated to prevent or to treat novel corona viruses including emerging strains of SARS-Cov-2, as well as fungal pathologies such as valley fever and respiratory ailments such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and pneumonia. Virus particles are implicated in the development of cancers. The antiviral properties further enable the composition to prevent conditions leading to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, neoplasms, degenerative malignancy, and to help treat chronic inflammatory diseases associated with or leading to induce cancer in virus infected cells. The composition can be produced at low temperatures through reactive shear mixing. Delivery methods include ingestion, topical application, inhalation, or injection when used as a medicament or as a food supplement.

The subject matter of the present invention is the use of chitin or a derivative of chitin for preventing and/or treating parasitoses, and in particular cryptosporidiosis. The present invention also pertains to a composition that comprises at least one base agent chosen from among chitin or a derivative of chitin and at least one secondary agent chosen from among an agent for stimulating immunity and an antiparasite agent, as well as the use of same for preventing and/or treating parasitoses, in particular cryptosporidiosis.
