This invention relates to the use of the combination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH D3) and antioxidants/anti-inflammatories (ascorbic acid, vitamin E and at least one carotenoid) to make a pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or food supplement which can ameliorate various problems observed in humans connected with polycystic ovarian syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. Pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and food supplements containing the 25-OH D3 and antioxidants/anti-inflammatories and premixes are also provided.

The present invention relates to the use of zinc and copper gluconate in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and dietary supplements for mammals comprising zinc and copper gluconate and their use in treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

A cat food has chicken meat and mouse meat, vitamin supplements, and one or more mineral ingredients. The mouse meat may be less than ten percent by weight of the total weight of meat.

The present invention is an improved superfood supplement for dogs.

This invention relates to a solid veterinary formulation and a method for its oral administration to an animal, especially cats or dogs, to remove fluid overload in the animal by using a mixture of a water-absorbing polymer and solid fat, optionally having one or more supplemental ingredients. The fluid overload is caused by congestive heart failure or renal disease. The polymer is capable of absorbing at least 10 times its weight in physiological saline. The polymer and other waste materials are excreted in the feces.

The invention relates to a method for enriching protists with lipids rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in particular of the omega 3 (3) class, said method comprising the culture of protists in a culture medium comprising a selenium-containing compound as well as the protists enriched with lipids rich in PUFA obtained by this method.

The invention also relates to a method for producing lipids rich in PUFA, comprising, after the enrichment method according to the invention, a method for treating the protists by extraction from the biomass of selenium-containing lipids rich in PUFA.

The invention finally relates to any food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical product comprising either selenium-containing lipids thus extracted, or selenium-containing biomass originating from the enrichment method.

This disclosure pertains to a food product comprising a composition comprising a basic metal salt, particularly pet food products, and further pertains to the use of such composition to reduce lipid oxidation and/or discoloration of such food product, particularly wet food products, e.g., during processing and storage.

This invention relates to a non-medical food additive that is an animal growth promoter containing 99% pure zeolite partially or totally exchanged with a C.sup.m+ cation (in other words a synthetic zeolite) with the general formula I below: $\frac{1}{m}{\mathrm{yC}}^{m+}\left(1-y\right)\frac{1}{n}{M}^{n+}{\mathrm{AlO}}_2{x\mathrm{SiO}}_2$ in which x is greater than 1 and advantageously between 1 and 15; M.sup.n+ represents an alkaline or alkaline earth exchangeable ion, advantageously Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, Ca.sup.2+ or Li.sup.+; n is between 1 and 2; y is the exchange rate and is between 0.001 and 1; C.sup.m+ is a metallic cation chosen from among copper Cu.sup.2+, silver Ag.sup.+ or zinc Zn.sup.2+; m is between 1 and 2. It also relates to an additive premix and a supplemented food containing it and a method of improving the growth of animals.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a method of making a mineral product. The method includes contacting a carboxylic acid and an inorganic mineral compound sufficient to form a solution, reacting the solution over a period of time sufficient to provide a mineral chelated compound, transferring the mineral chelated compound to one or more molds prior to the compound substantially solidifying and reducing the size of the mineral chelated compound sufficient to provide a rapidly soluble mineral chelated product.

Method for providing a bird, reptile or mammal, for its consumption, with a source of water that does not dry out under prolonged heating conditions by providing an exogenous deep eutectic solvent of water and two or more primary metabolites. In particular, a method for strengthening newly hatched birds during their incubation by providing the birds, for their consumption during their incubation, with the exogenous deep eutectic solvent.
