Animal nutrition compositions include a carrier and a fermentation product applied to the carrier. Liquid fermentation products are fluidly applied to dry carriers, such as phyllosilicates or other earthen components, while mixing and applying air flow, under appropriate temperature and pH conditions, to bind the fermentation product to the carrier and dry the reaction product to appropriate moisture content. Fermentation products are also mixed with liquid carriers, such as water. Fermentation products include components of a microbial fermentation culture, such as liquid medium, microbial cellular components, and fermentation metabolites produced by microorganisms. Some compositions include a pH buffering agent and/or additional components to further enhance beneficial effects of the composition, such as improved weight gain and feed conversion, reduced gut lesions, harmful gut bacteria count, and decreased mortality. Compositions can be mixed with animal feeds or otherwise administered. Compositions can inhibit fungal growth on animal feeds.

The disclosure relates to isolated microorganisms—including novel strains of the microorganisms—microbial consortia, and compositions comprising the same. Furthermore, the disclosure teaches methods of utilizing the described microorganisms, microbial consortia, and compositions comprising the same, in methods for modulating the production and yield of milk and milk components in ruminants. In particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of increasing desirable components of milk in ruminants. Furthermore, the disclosure provides for methods of modulating the rumen microbiome.

A pet treat pocket is provided. The pet treat pocket includes a first pocket disposed on a top surface of a flexible member and a second pocket disposed on a lower surface of the flexible member. The pockets each define an interior volume sized to encapsulate a pill or liquid medication, respectively. An exterior length of each pocket is less than a length of the flexible member, and an exterior width of each pocket is less than a width of the flexible member such that the flexible member extends beyond the exterior dimensions of each pocket forming a lip surrounding a circumference of each pocket. The flexible member and the pockets are both composed of an ingestible and pet-safe material. The ingestible and pet-safe material can adhere to itself such that the flexible material can be molded to completely envelope the pockets and maintain a sealed configuration.
