The present application relates to: an anticoccidial composition comprising violacein, a violacein derivative and/or a salt thereof; and a use thereof. A composition comprising violacein, according to one embodiment, has excellent effects of direct killing of protozoa that can induce coccidiosis, inhibiting the cell penetration of the protozoa and/or inhibiting the intracellular proliferation of the protozoa, and preventing, alleviating, and treating in vivo coccidiosis.

High protein and high nutritional products comprising a mix of specific bacterial species, and methods of producing the same, are provided. Products can be produced via a co-culture of axenic source strains grown on simple gas feedstocks, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen, as can be provided by industrial waste gases. A consortium of bacterial strains specially selected for this purpose is cultured in an aqueous culture medium.
