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.

Provided herein are poultry diets containing phytase polypeptides or fragments thereof wherein the diet contains no or substantially no inorganic phosphate.

Provided herein are poultry diets containing phytase polypeptides or fragments thereof wherein the diet contains no or substantially no inorganic phosphate.

Provided herein, inter alia, are engineered phytase polypeptides and fragments thereof with improved thermotolerance as well as methods for producing and using the same for enhancing animal performance on one or more metrics.

Continuous mixing in a static mixer possible can be used to add one kind of particles (such as an enzyme granular product) in a small amount to a larger amount of a different kind of particles (such as a powder stream of detergent powder), even if the powder characteristics are substantially different, with substantially no damage to the enzyme particles and with a high degree of homogeneity.

A method and system are provided for preparing micro-ingredient feed additives for use in designated feed rations. A micro-ingredient system of the invention includes a plurality of bins that store designated micro-ingredients therein. A master controller of the delivery system provides signals to control system components based on programmed commands corresponding to micro-ingredient batches to be prepared. Slide gate mechanisms are used to prevent loss of micro-ingredients delivered to a receiving receptacle of the system. During delivery of the micro-ingredients to the receptacle and during processing, the micro-ingredients can become airborne and subsequently lost. The slide gate mechanisms also provide controlled access to the receiving receptacle to prevent system errors such as contamination of ingredients in the receptacle, or improper batching of a prescribed micro-ingredient mixture to be delivered to a designated feed ration.
