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.

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.

An antimicrobial composition containing a wasp extract, and more particularly, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial composition containing, as an active ingredient, an ethyl acetate fraction recovered by sequential organic solvent fraction of an ethanol extract of Vespa velutina nigrithorax or Vespa simillima simillima Smith. The Vespa velutina nigrithorax extract or the V. simillima simillima Smith extract exhibits excellent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacterial and fungi, and thus may be used for pharmaceutical compositions, health functional foods, cosmetic compositions, animal feed compositions, additives for food, cosmetics or animal feed, various detergents and various cleansers. In addition, the extract has excellent heat stability, and does not lose its activity even under an acidic condition of pH 2.

The present invention concerns a non-fatty palatability enhancer for use in cat food comprising an amino reactant having a ratio AAS/AAT of sulfur-containing free amino acids (AAS) to total free amino acids (AAT) from 1 to 12.8% by weight, and a carbonyl composition comprising more than 20% up to 100% by weight of monosaccharides and/or disaccharides and/or oligosaccharides.
