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 invention discloses a method for preserving a probiotic composition, including: providing a bacterial cell suspension, which is one or more bacterial cell suspensions of a bacterium or Saccharomyces boulardii; mixing the bacterial cell suspension with a sodium alginate solution or an alginic acid solution; and adding the mixture to a calcium ion solution until the mixture is immobilized in a shape. The technology of the present invention has the effects of long-term preservation at room temperature and resistance to high temperature, and can be applied to ordinary bacterial strains, without being limited to a small number of bacterial species able to form endospore, and without requiring the strains to be frozen for preservation. The method of the present invention can be applied to the preparation of aquatic feeds, animal feeds, or probiotics that human beings need.

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.

Provided is an inorganic composite compound having reduced oxygen and a high reducing ability, which includes elements having a positive atomic valence of a plant-derived component and a sulfur compound. The compound provides a therapeutic treatment effect and a pharmacological effect and is useful to suppress the influence of active oxygen (oxidization) and cannot be produced by a synthetic chemical technique. A method of producing the same is also provided.

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.

Compositions and methods are disclosed for providing a pet food feeding system or packaged product containing multiple formulations meeting a number of parameters in order to offer diversified ingredients and varied flavors to a pet with minimized digestive stress due to dietary changes.

A method of enhancing milk production efficiency in dairy cattle that comprises feeding the dairy cattle with a feed ration comprising a corn silage made from a brown midrib/floury-2 corn hybrid. Upon being fed to dairy cows, a feed ration comprising brown midrib/floury-2 corn silage provides at least about 4% higher in the amount of milk produced per unit of the feed intake, compared to a feed ration comprising non-brown midrib corn silage.
