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 invention relates to a particulate urea-based blend composition comprising a urea-based compound in particulate form and one or more components in particulate form, selected from the group of nitrates, phosphates, sulphates and chlorides, and a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, and a magnesium sulphate, wherein the urea-based blend composition is further characterized in that it comprises an alkaline or alkaline-forming compound, selected from the group of calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, and mixtures thereof. The composition according to the invention has improved properties for reducing ammonia loss by urease activity in the soil and is in particular suitable as a fertilizer. The invention further relates to a method for the manufacture of said urea-based blend composition, as well as to a composition of kit of parts comprising an amount of a) magnesium sulphate; b) a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, preferably N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (nBTPT); c) an alkaline or alkaline-forming compound, selected from the group of calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, and mixtures thereof, and d) optionally, one or more anti-caking and/or moisture-repellent and/or anti-dust compounds.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a composition and method of using the composition for oral delivery of a bioactive agent to a subject. More particularly, the presently disclosed subject matter relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of at least one bioactive agent layered over a substrate and a method of reducing zoonotic infectious disease by administering the composition to a subject. The presently disclosed subject matter further relates to a method of preparing the composition.

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.
