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 present invention relates to a construct comprising a C13 to C27 fatty acid non-covalently bound to a hydrophobic region of a carrier particle, methods of manufacture, and uses thereof.

The invention provides compositions and methods for metabolic health in an animal comprising administering a non-ketogenic composition to the animal, wherein the non-ketogenic composition comprises about 5% to about 25% carbohydrates, about 30% to about 60% protein, and about 10% to about 40% fat. Additionally, the composition can have a protein to carbohydrate ratio of at least 2:1.

The present invention relates to a quick-sinking fish feed in the form of pellets. It has been found that pellets, the diameter of which is <4 mm, have difficulty in sinking, especially in the cold time of the year when the density of water is at its maximum. The reason why the feed does not sink is its low intrinsic weight and the too high surface tension. If the fish does not have time to catch the feed, the pellets will be moved by the waves of the sea through the meshes out into the free water. This problem can be solved by loading or coating the fish feed pellets with an oil comprising at least 10% microbial oil.

The present invention relates to a lipoteichoic acid isolated from Bifidobacteria cultured in excess of glucose which has fat reduction activity, thus being useful for exploitation in the following application areas: food and beverages, animal feed, including pet food, nutritional supplements, infant nutrition, cosmetics (including nutricosmetics), medical foods and pharmaceutical and veterinary applications, among others.

Provided is a weight-control pet food that is used for the purpose of controlling body weight while diminishing loss of muscle mass that has a water content of less than (25)% and that has with respect to the total mass of the pet food a protein content of (20) mass % or more in terms of dry matter and an isolated soybean protein content of (5)-(30) mass % in terms of dry matter.
