Molecules secreted or derived from probiotic bacteria are provided for use in compositions and methods for the treatment and/or prevention of infection by pathogenic viruses. The isolated secreted molecules can also be used in nutritional or medical food products which provide probiotics to the gastrointestinal tract of a mammal.

A system and method for estimating livestock weight is described. Embodiments of the system can include a computing device and a three-dimensional tag configured to be secured to an animal. One or more images of an animal, including the three-dimensional tag, can be processed to take various measurements of the animal. A scaling factor for the measurements can be based on the three-dimensional tag. After the measurement are calibrated, a weight of the animal can be estimated based on the calibrated measurements.

A nutrient composition comprises an essential nutrient in which at least one exchangeable H atom is .sup.2H and/or at least one C atom is .sup.13C. The nutrient is thus protected from, inter alia, active oxygen species.
