A system and method for estimating livestock weight is described. Embodiments of the system can include a computing device and a three-dimensional tag configured to be secured to an animal. One or more images of an animal, including the three-dimensional tag, can be processed to take various measurements of the animal. A scaling factor for the measurements can be based on the three-dimensional tag. After the measurement are calibrated, a weight of the animal can be estimated based on the calibrated measurements.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing microalgae micro powder containing astaxanthin and fatty acids with enhanced penetration performance and food availability, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing microalgae micro powder containing astaxanthin and fatty acids with enhanced penetration performance and food availability, in which four kinds of functional microalgae are selected and mass-cultured so as to be processed into a dietary shape for easy penetration performance.

The invention is a nutritional composition in unit dosage form for oral administration to an animal or human, which includes at least one ingredient from each of six biological Kingdoms selected from the group consisting of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, protist and archaea. Each ingredient is co-admixed with every other said ingredient without further addition of synthetic excipients or fillers, and is typically formulated in dried powder form as a drink mix, food or beverage additive or as the fill for hard or soft capsules or other dosage forms including tablets (the compositions of the invention can generally be tableted without addition of ingredients beyond the nutrients themselves).
