The present invention provides methods of processing lipid materials such as soapstock, wet gums and dry gums. Enzymes are utilized to catalyze hydrolysis of the lipids materials to recover fatty acids. Addition of organic acids and/or polyols improved yield of fatty acids and reduced formation of emulsion. Lipid materials can be formulated with other agricultural products as new value-added animal feed products. Further, a process for concentrating nitrogenous compounds such as choline, inositol, ethanolamine and serine from phospholipid materials obtained as byproducts from vegetable oil refining is provided. The process involves performing hydrolysis of the gum based products in the presence of an alcoholic solvent and acid catalyst. Post hydrolysis, gums breakdown to oil and water phases which are further separated and concentrated. These concentrated products may be further fractionated to concentrate individual nitrogenous compounds.

A wildlife supplement and a related method of controlling supplement consumption, reducing mold in a supplement and/or administering a therapeutic agent, with a particular level of sodium, to an animal in the wild at a remote location is provided. The feed supplement can include sodium in an amount of 5% to 80% by weight, and optionally a feed ingredient, attractant, and/or a mineral supplement. The feed supplement can be applied in a remote area, optionally distal from any livestock feeding area. Consumption of the feed supplement by the animal can be self-regulated by the animal via the sodium content. Mold and/or bacterial growth can be limited via the sodium content. The sodium content can entice animals to consume a therapeutic agent in a controlled manner to orally self-vaccinate, treat and/or prevent a disease or condition.

The application relates to a preparation method of liquid bio-fermented feed, liquid bio-fermented feed and bio-fermented emulsion liquid feed, belonging to the technical field of feed preparation. The preparation method of the present application may overcome physiological problems of weaned piglets such as insufficient gastric acid secretion, low content and activity of digestive enzymes, incomplete development of immune system, disorder of intestinal microecosystem, and the like. The prepared bio-fermented liquid feed has good palatability and high nutrition, easy digestion, low acidity, and is a liquid feed similar to breast milk, which can both effectively alleviate the weaning stress syndrome of piglets, and effect a seamless transition from breast milk to conventional solid feed.

Embodiments of a composition and/or combination comprising an anionic dietary supplement and 25-hydroxy vitamin D are disclosed. The anionic dietary supplement may be a negative dietary cation anion difference (DCAD) supplement and/or may comprise magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, and calcium sulfate, and/or complexes thereof. Also disclosed are embodiments of a method for administrating the combination and/or composition to an animal, such as a ruminant. In certain embodiments, the animal is a dairy cow, and the method may be a method for increasing milk yield, and/or improving the health of the animal.

Methods and compositions are described for producing a phytase in transgenic maize plants and then incorporating parts of the transgenic maize plants in animal feed. The feed phytase enzyme displays activity across a broad pH range, and tolerance to temperatures that are often encountered during the process of preparing animal feeds. Methods of producing an animal feed that incorporate the transgenic maize plants, parts thereof or plant derived phytases, as well as methods of promoting the release of inorganic phosphate from a phytic acid in an animal, producing an animal meat, or reducing the ratio of intake of an animal feed per weight of the animal meat by feeding an animal with the animal feed incorporating transgenic maize plants are provided.
