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.

In a method for obtaining one or more protein preparations and oil fractions from sunflower seeds or rape seeds, at least three fractions are provided or formed from the seeds, of which a first fraction has a shell content of <1 mass percent, a second fraction has a shell content of <20 mass percent or <10 mass percent, the shell content being greater than the shell content of the first fraction but equal to at least >0.3 mass percent or >0.15 mass percent, and a third fraction has a shell content of >60 mass percent or >30 mass percent. Oil is separated from the first fraction by means of one or de-oiling steps to a residual oil content of <3 mass percent, whereby one or more oil fractions and an oil-free first fraction are obtained as protein preparations. The method makes it possible to convert all of the fractions which are accumulated during the preparation of the sunflower seeds or rape seeds, into ingredients of the highest possible quality for food, animal feed, energy or technical applications.

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 feed additive for domesticated animals that is capable of increasing feed performance, as well as associated methods for promoting growth and zootechnical performance in domesticated animals. The animal feed additive provided contains Total Lignans standardized in the contents of Furoguaiacin-like compounds and Guaiacin-like compounds. The present disclosure also describes methods for improving growth via the dietary inclusion of Total Lignans standardized in Furoguaiacin-like compounds and Guaiacin-like compounds.

The present invention provides a wheat plant comprising an Rht-B1 allele which encodes an Rht-B1 (DELLA) polypeptide. Grain from a near-isogenic wheat line comprising the dwarfing Rht-B1c allele was subjected to sodium azide mutagenesis. Plants exhibiting early leaf elongation rates or mature plant height greater than the dwarf parent were selected and the Rht-B1 gene sequenced. This identified 35 mutated alleles of Rht-B1c. Similar methods were also used to identify mutant alleles of the dwarfing sln1d allele in barley, where DELLA is encoded by the sln1 gene.
