Provided herein are agents, compositions, and methods for agricultural use, e.g., for altering the level, activity, or metabolism of one or more microorganisms resident in a host nematode or arthropod (e.g., honeybee or silkworm), the alteration resulting in an increase in the fitness of the host. The invention features a composition that includes an agent (e.g., phage, peptide, small molecule, antibiotic, or combinations thereof) that can alter the host's microbiota in a manner that is beneficial to the host. By promoting favorable microbial levels, microbial activity, microbial metabolism, and/or microbial diversity, the agents described herein may be used to increase the fitness of a variety of beneficial nematodes or arthropods, such as bees and silkworms, utilized in agriculture and commerce.

The present invention relates to Siphoviridae bacteriophage Vib-ANP-1 (accession number KCTC 13075BP) having the ability to specifically kill Vibrio anguillarum bacteria and a genome represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 and isolated from nature, and a method for prevention or treatment of Vibrio anguillarum bacterial infection by using a composition containing the same bacteriophage as an effective ingredient.

The present invention describes the use of inosine monophosphate as an energy source in feeds for slaughtering poultries by manipulating the energy of the diet to provide a reestablishment in weight gain and feed:gain ratio of slaughter birds fed with lower caloric diet. Inosine monophosphate is applied in feed to meet the nutritional requirement energy in poultries by partially replacing soybean oil or fats commonly used as energy sources in poultries diets.
