Disclosed is a method for preparing an attapulgite-based pH-responsive antibacterial material, including: directly spraying a natural aldehyde-based antibacterial agent onto an attapulgite powder under stirring, and constantly stirring the attapulgite powder for 20-30 min; grinding the attapulgite powder in a ball mill for 30-60 min to obtain a ground attapulgite powder; placing the ground attapulgite powder in a stirred tank, and spraying a chitosan-citric acid aqueous solution onto the ground attapulgite powder; after spraying, constantly stirring the ground attapulgite powder for 30-120 min; and finally drying the ground attapulgite powder to obtain a dried attapulgite powder, sieving the dried attapulgite powder to obtain a sieved attapulgite powder, and packaging the sieved attapulgite powder to obtain the antibacterial material.

An agent for suppressing inflammation in the intestinal cell of a non-human animal comprises cashew nut shell liquid, heated cashew nut shell liquid, anacardic acid, cardanol, and/or cardol.

Disclosed compositions comprise a therapeutic agent and a carrier selected, or processed to have, an acceptable composite flow index, a granular particle size of 18 mesh to 80 mesh, or both, such as processed granular wheat middlings. The composition may also comprise an oil and/or micro tracers. Suitable granular wheat middlings may have a size range of from 18 mesh to 80 mesh, such as 20 mesh to 80 mesh. The composition has improved flowability characteristics, compared to a composition where the carrier, such as processed wheat middlings, are powdered and/or flakey. Certain embodiments concern a composition comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of, nicarbazin, granular wheat middlings, soybean oil and micro tracers. The composition may be administered to an animal, for example, to treat or prevent coccidiosis. Also disclosed herein are methods for making and using the composition.

An improved agent and treatment method for a broad variety of diseases in both animals and humans is disclosed. The agent is an inventive composition comprising a bacterial-based culture. Particularly, the inventive composition disclosed herein is an active molecule produced by a Gram-negative bacterial strain that is a member of the genus Brevundimonas. Consumption of the inventive composition by way of liquid or dry feed produces a broad range of health benefits and has proven effective in the prevention and treatment of disease. The bacterium of the disclosed composition selectively modulates Toll-like receptors (TLRs) for the prevention and treatment of disease such as coccidiosis. Specific actions include but are not limited to improvement of gut health, acceleration or enhancement of immune response using a natural immune modulator, and the promotion of animal growth.

This invention relates generally to a process of using Arkansas net energy formulations of feed ingredients for broiler production. In calculating energy requirements, the invention accounts for the heat generated due to maintaining body composition as well as the energy accretion from gain. The process is configured be incorporated into and utilized by a system for formulating feed rations.

A nutritionally complete animal food including, vitamins, and minerals to sustain the animal's health and wellness. The one or more ingredients containing cannabinoids added to the nutritionally complete animal food at the time of manufacturing. These cannabinoids are selected from the group consisting of Cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), Cannabidivarinic acid (CBDVA), Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), Cannabinolic acid (CBNA), Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCVA) and combinations thereof. The concentrations of each of the cannabinoids are each less than 100 parts per million (ppm) in the at least one ingredient. In an alternate embodiment, the one or more ingredients have cannabinoids include in an aggregate concentration of less than 100 parts per million (ppm).
