The present invention relates to a process to prepare a salt product containing sodium chloride (NaCl) and at least one additive, wherein the salt product has a particle size of from 50 μm to 10 mm, which process comprises the steps of: a. optionally, crushing a sodium chloride-containing material to a particle size that is between 1,000 times smaller and 3 times smaller than the size of the final salt product; b. optionally, crushing the at least one additive starting material to a particle size that is between 0.5 and 2 times the particle size of the sodium chloride-containing material particles resulting from step a.); c. subsequently, mixing the sodium chloride-containing material particles of a particle size that is between 1,000 times smaller and 3 times smaller than the size of the final salt product, and additive particles of a particle size that is between 0.5 and 2.0 times the particle size of the sodium chloride-containing material particles; d. subsequently, compacting the particle mixture resulting from step c.) using a pressure of from 40 to 400 MPa; e. subsequently, crushing the compacted salt product to give particles of the desired particle size of 50 μm to 10 mm;
wherein the steps are carried out under substantially dry conditions. Additionally, the invention provides the low sodium salt product obtainable by the process and the use thereof for human or animal consumption.

A non-therapeutic method of improving growth performance of a weaning mammal comprises a step of administering to the weaning mammal or a maternal mammal an effective amount of beta-glucan and casein hydrolysate, wherein the weight ratio of beta-glucan to casein hydrolysate is 1:2 to 2:1. A dietary supplement suitable for oral administration to a mammal comprising beta-glucan and casein hydrolysate is also provided, wherein the weight ratio of beta-glucan to casein hydrolysate is 1:2 to 2:1.

A digestive supplement that mitigates adverse reactions caused by food allergens and assists in the enhancement of digestive health of mono-gastric mammals, including, but not limited to, companion animal and humans.

In one aspect, the present invention relates to an edible or thinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans. In another aspect, the invention relates to an edible or drinkable composition that comprises endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans. The compositions are particularly suitable for use in a method of improving the immune and/or health status of a mammalian or non-mammalian subject. The present invention further relates to a method for decreasing the feed conversion ratio and/or increasing body weight in a non-human animal, comprising feeding the non-human animal with an edible or drinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans and/or endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans. In a still further aspect, the invention relates to the use of an edible or drinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans and/or endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans for improving the health or immune status of a mammalian or non-mammalian Finally, the invention relates to the use of an edible or drinkable composition that comprises alpha-1,6-mannans and/or endoglucanase-treated beta-1,3:1,6 glucans for decreasing the feed conversion ratio and/or increasing body weight in a non-human animal.
