A novel dietary supplement and nutritional aid and methods for the manufacture and administration of the same are disclosed for the inhibition of OCD in afflicted animals, particularly horses. The present invention relates generally to a feed composition and methods of use thereof for reducing the development of Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD) lesions in predisposed young animals, particularly horses. More specifically the invention provides a nutritional formula that targets the metabolic deficiencies identified as being correlated with development of OCD.

The present disclosure relates to the use of a mixture of urea, biuret and N-containing by-products of the biuret production out of urea, as a NPN-source in a ruminant feed supplement composition (i) to reduce methane emission produced by ruminant animals, (ii) to decrease the acetate to propionate ratio produced by rumen microbes in a ruminant, (iii) to improve the EMPS, (iv) to increase the DM and OM digestibility, and/or (v) to improve the dry matter intake (DMI) of ruminant animal. The present disclosure further relates to a ruminant feed supplement composition comprising urea, biuret and N-containing by-products of the biuret production out of urea, as well as to methods of feeding a ruminant with a feed comprising said ruminant feed supplement composition.
