Supplement for use in animal feed, which consists of a composition intended for animal feed that allows the digestibility of dietary fat to be improved and same to be used at the metabolic level without overloading the hepatic system, comprising a combination of 0.5-5.5% by weight botanicals, 3.0-18.0% by weight vitamins and provitamins, 12.0-25.0% by weight lecithins, 3.0-10.0% by weight sorbitan esters, and 45.0-65.0% antioxidant and adsorbent excipient.

A meat analogue may include a set protein emulsion, the protein emulsion having a protein and at least one insoluble particle. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the particle can include at least one mineral material selected from the group consisting of silicium, and calcium, such as one or more of rhombohedral calcite, scalenohedral calcite, silicon dioxide, and magnesium oxide; at least one organic material selected from the group consisting of a bone meal, a cartilage meal, a ground crustacean shell, a ground sea fish shell, and a ground egg shell; and/or a gelled vegetable gum, a gelled hydrocolloid, a polymerized vegetable gum, a polymerized hydrocolloid, or a mixture thereof. The meat analogue can be made by extruding the protein emulsion and cooling the extruded emulsion. The meat analogue can be cut into chunks and/or added to another comestible composition such as a gravy or broth.

The present invention provides a poultry feed or drinking water composition comprising a stable, bioavailable silicon complex formed between silicic acid having free hydroxyl groups and at least one stabilizing agent based on phenol or polyphenol; said poultry feed or drinking water composition for improving bone strength and a method of breeding poultry by feeding to said poultry a feed or drinking water composition comprising a stable, bioavailabie silicon complex formed between silicic add having free hydroxyl groups and at least one stabilizing agent based on phenol or polyphenol.

A preparation of a high-conversion compound rumen bypass polyunsaturated fatty acid powder and the use thereof. The preparation comprises: adsorbing a polyunsaturated fatty acid oil by means of an adsorbent under vacuum conditions, and compounding a water-soluble antioxidant and an enzyme for promoting digestion and absorption to form a mixed powder; uniformly mixing and granulating the mixed powder by using a colloid or flour, and carrying out one-layer fixed coating by using a polysaccharide; and performing rumen bypass coating of the one-layer coating granule by using a fat powder or of a monoglyceride and a diglyceride by using a coating machine.

Feed additive compositions and methods of using the additives to improve the performance of an adult animal are disclosed. Improved performance can include reducing maintenance nutrient requirements, improving growth performance, reducing the energy required for intestinal maintenance, reducing the energy required for weight gain, reduced morbidity, increasing growth rate, improving feed conversion, improving the average daily gain (ADG), improving the efficiency of nutrient utilization, increasing volatile fatty acid production, improving energy use from volatile fatty acids, increasing ending body weight, improved intestinal health, increased relative abundance of Bifidobacterium in the intestines, or combinations thereof.
