A solid compound prepared as a powder that exhibits good flowability and having a specific structure is provided. The solid compound contains a carrier carboxylic acid salt and a loaded carboxylic acid, wherein the pKa of the corresponding carboxylic acid of the carrier carboxylic acid is lower than or equal to the pKa of the loaded carboxylic. The loaded carboxylic acid is physisorbed within the structure of the carrier carboxylic acid salt, and wherein the water content of the solid compound is less than 2 equivalents of water relative to the carrier carboxylic acid. Processes and pharmaceutical compositions containing the solid compound are also provided.

The present invention relates to a composition for modulating microbial growth which comprises at least one organic acid and/or at least one salt thereof; and hypophosphorous acid and/or at least one salt thereof as well as to an additive, a method for modulating microbial growth, a composition for use as medicament and a use of the composition.

A novel feed source for ruminants is prepared from the annual herbaceaous plant Cephalaria joppensis. The plant can be raised in the field, harvested and treated as hay or ensiled. Feed preparations such as total mixed rations (TMRs) including the harvested plant can form a substitute to roughage sources of the prior art without degrading the quality of the feed in terms of animal welfare and milk quality and quantity.

The present invention pertains among others to a method of preparing a biomass mash from a biomass comprising lignin. The invention also pertains to a biomass mash comprising reduced viscosity.

The invention refers to a method of preparing of a silage good having improved quality, to an ensiling process employing the method or the silage good, and an apparatus of preparing of a silage good having improved quality. The method includes applying a first model on determined parameters to determine an ensilability index number and applying a second model on the determined parameters to determine a retention index number for a harvested good. The method can further include determining types and amounts of ensiling additives to be added to the harvested good for controlling the ensiling process depending on the ensilability index number and the retention index number and supplying the determined additives to the harvested good to obtain the silage good.
