The present disclosure provides a hairball remedy paste for cats, including collagen, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, bone glue, chicken liver powder, chicken meal, edible oil, fructooligosaccharide, hydrolyzed fish protein powder, maltitol, Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract, glycerol, barley seedling powder, vitamin nano-liposomes, protein chelated mineral, potassium iodide, taurine, and water. The hairball remedy paste for cats does not contain mineral oil, and does not affect the absorption of nutrient substances by intestines and stomach after long-term use. Through the synergistic effect of edible oil, fructooligosaccharide, and barley seedling powder, it is conducive to help cats to discharge hairs in intestines and stomach through feces, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of the trichobezoar and improve the constipation of cats.

An edible dog chew toy includes: (i) a tough chewable material (e.g., a natural rawhide or a synthetic “rawhide-type” material); and (ii) one or more active ingredients that are useful for promoting a calming effect on a dog. The toy is extremely appetizing for dogs, and the smell and taste of the toy (or a treat member provided therein) constantly entices the dog to chew the toy over a substantial portion of the life of the toy.

The present disclosure provides a recirculating aquaculture system comprising a) a wastewater treatment system and b) a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production system. In particular, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) can be utilized as the PHA in such a system. Methods of treating wastewater for reuse by contacting the wastewater with one or more zeolites to remove material from the wastewater and reusing the treated wastewater are also provided as well as methods of producing a PHA such as PHB from organic waste. Moreover, food compositions comprising a PHA biomass as well as associated methods are also provided.

The embodiments herein are directed to methods for incorporating high quality, sustainable carbon product into animal feed. In particular, the sustainable carbon product described herein for use in animal feed may be produced as byproducts of efficient, clean energy processes. Utilization of sustainable carbon product produced by such clean energy solutions can provide long-term benefits to the environment, while providing a high-quality feed supplement for treating microbial infections without increasing anti-microbial resistance.

The disclosure provides edible hydration pods (EHPs) for hydrating animals and a method of manufacturing EHPs. In one example, an EHP directed to dogs is disclosed that includes: (1) a casing and (2) a liquid that is within the casing, wherein the liquid is water and the casing is an edible and digestible casing that is flavored for dogs and has a thickness corresponding to a bite force of dogs.

This invention discloses method for feeding Hermetia illucens and used as for preparing composite material of puparium, which comprises the following steps: S1, dry Hermetia illucens pupariums and grind them into powdery, S2, adding powdery of Hermetia illucens pupariums into sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, stirring, separating and filtering, S3, adding the pupariums into hydrochloric acid solution, stirring, separating and filtering; S4, placing the pupariums into sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, stirring, separating and filtering; S5, drying the pupariums, and screening out the granular pretreated powder of the Hermetia illucens pupariums. The invention also disclose preparation method of composite material and thin film of Hermetia illucens pupariums and antibacterial and antimildew additive. The method can effectively improve the yield of chitosan in Hermetia illucens pupariums, and the prepared pupariums powder can be used for preparing polymer composite fibers and thin films of the Hermetia illucens pupariums, thus, the antibacterial effect is greatly improved. A new antibacterial and antimycotic additive can be obtained by compounding the powder of Hermetia illucens pupariums with the powder of oyster shell.

Provided is a powder body obtained from a water-containing organic matter having a moisture content of 20% or less, a bacterial count of mesophilic aerobic bacteria of 10.sup.5/g or less, and a maximum exothermic peak by a differential thermal analysis method of 300° C. or higher.

A composition and process for making pet food treats is described herein. Auxiliary ingredients are combined to form a meat mixture. The meat mixture is formed into portions. The portions of meat mixture are positioned on a chew stick that comprises rawhide. The pet treat gives the appearance of a grilled shish kabob, where the meat portions are meant for initial taste, while the chew stick will provide the dog with a longer-lasting chewing portion.
