A container for storing an aqueous composition for a domestic animal is provided herein. The container includes a shell having base and a wall extending distally from the base to a lip. The shell defines a chamber between the base and the lip. The container further includes a lid. The lid is configured to cooperate with the lip for removably coupling the lid and the shell. The container further includes an aqueous composition disposed within the chamber. The shell and the lid exhibit a water vapor transmission rate of less than 100,000 g/m.sup.2/24 hours in accordance with ASTM D6701-16.

Provided is a feed for ameliorating weight gain in poultry comprising 25-hydroxy vitamin D, canthaxanthin, Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Animals fed this composition gained weight, but did not become obese, nor did they experience adverse effects associated with hyperphagia related obesity. This feed also provides numerous cardiovascular benefits.

A composition and process for making pet food treats is described herein. Auxiliary ingredients are combined to form a meat mixture. The meat mixture is formed into portions. The portions of meat mixture are positioned on a chew stick that comprises rawhide. The pet treat gives the appearance of a grilled shish kabob, where the meat portions are meant for initial taste, while the chew stick will provide the dog with a longer-lasting chewing portion.

The invention relates to a pet food composition comprising at least one natural antioxidant and at least one synthetic antioxidant and at least one acidity regulator component to regulate the pH, wherein the pet food composition does not contain 1,2-dihydro-6-ethoxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline. Further, the invention comprises a method of producing the pet food composition as well as the use of the pet food composition.

A new alga having an improved ability to produce a pigment is disclosed. When the alga is used, a carotenoid-based pigment, specifically, a xanthophyll can be produced by consuming less energy, so that it is possible to efficiently produce the pigment at the industrial level. The pigment can be applied as a raw material for a food, a health functional food and a medicine, which include the pigment. Since a DNA fragment is not likely to be inserted into a target base sequence or a base sequence other than the target, it is expected that the procedure of constructing the mutant is not regulated as a GMO.
