Animal feed compositions including a bile acid or a salt thereof are provided. Also provided are bile acid modulated intestinal digesta compositions. The present invention further relates to methods of using such compositions to improve body weight gain or the accumulative feed conversion ratio in an agricultural animal species and to prevent and/or reduce the growth of a pathogenic bacteria or a parasite in the intestinal tract of an agricultural animal species.

The invention relates to a method for the production of a time-stable, solid appetizing composition and to the use thereof, said composition comprising at least one active substance which is introduced in the final production step, by adding same to the already formed mixture of other components at ambient temperature, without the use of water or heat. The composition is intended for use as a drug, a nutraceutical or a food supplement for oral administration to mammals, except humans, in particular for pets such as dogs, cats or horses. The stable solid composition is obtained by compressing the mixture using a press for compressing formulations having a high fat content.
