A product and method of parasitic control, ammonia control, methane inhibition, liver abscess inhibition, and nutritional supplementation in livestock in order to grow healthier and more efficient livestock. The supplement is designed to provide an antibiotic-free and antiparasitic-free feed additive to decrease parasites, inhibit methane production, and ammonia production in livestock, inhibit the incidence of liver abscesses while providing a nutritional supplement to livestock and simultaneously providing for increased weight gain and overall positive health in the same.

The present invention relates to the field of reduction of methane emission in ruminants. Particularly, it relates to the use of a feed composition or a feed additive comprising at least one fatty acid containing at least 5 carbon atoms and at least one organic molecule substituted at any position with at least one nitrooxy group, for reducing the production of methane emanating from the digestive activities of ruminants, and/or to improve the ruminant performance.

The present invention relates to a method of reducing methane emissions in ruminants, said method encompassing treating pre-/young ruminants with 3-nitrooxypropanol.

The invention provides a delayed release dosage form and a bolus configured for administration to an animal, wherein said dosage form and said bolus is configured to release a hydrophobic substance to the animal over a period of time. Preferably the hydrophobic substance is a haloform. Also provided is the use of the delayed release dosage form or bolus of the invention to reduce methane production in a ruminant animal. Also provided is the method of manufacturing a bolus of the invention.

A novel and distinct variety of Asparagopsis taxiformis, provided as a source of halogenated compounds.

The present invention relates to a feed supplement or a food supplement which comprises a resin acid based composition comprising over 10% (w/w) resin acids for use in in the preven-tion of intestinal disorders. The in-vention further relates to a use of the feed supplement or the food supplement and a feed composition or a food composition comprising the feed supplement or the food supplement, respectively.

Provided is a method for reducing methane production in animal stomachs by adding melatonin to gastric juice of the animal or feeding the animal with melatonin. In the method of the present disclosure, 10.sup.−7 mol/L to 10.sup.−3 mol/L of melatonin can reduce the methane production from the in vitro gastric fermentation fluid, feeding melatonin of 8.0 to 35.0 mg/kg/day can reduce the methane production from the animal respiration from day 7 of feeding melatonin. The method of the present disclosure can reduce greenhouse gas emissions of animals, control environmental pollution and realize low-carbon farming.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a bacterially enriched animal feed composition. The process comprises the steps of a) providing a proteinaceous feed material to be fermented; b) providing an inoculum comprising bacteria, and wherein the concentration of bacteria in the inoculum of step b) is sufficient to outgrow any bacteria, yeast or moulds present in the proteinaceous feed material of step a); c) combining the materials of steps a) and b) and fermenting the proteinaceous feed material of step a) using the inoculums of step b), thereby providing a fermented proteinaceous feed material; and d) adding methanotrophic bacteria to the fermented proteinaceous feed material to provide a bacterially enriched animal feed composition.

A mechanism and technology for inhibiting methane production in ruminants, which mixes an oscillating magnet composition 1~3% into the feedstuff, so as to inhibit the generation and reproduction of methanogens in the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, thereby reducing the production of methane; wherein, the composition weight percentage of the oscillating magnet composition includes 72%~82% a far-infrared natural mineral base material, 10%~20% a biochar, 2%~7% a seaweed element and an activated water agent composed of 0.4%~1% of a natural ore; wherein the far-infrared natural mineral base material emit far-infrared rays, make water molecules cluster smaller, thereby improving the dissolved oxygen in the gastrointestinal tract to inhibit of the generation and reproduction of methanogens.

A mechanism and technology for inhibiting methane production in paddy, which mixes the oscillating magnet composition with a weight ratio of 400 to 500 kilograms per 666 square meters into the soil of the paddy, so as to increase the dissolved oxygen in the soil, to inhibit the generation of methanogens, and then reduce the amount of methane production; wherein, the composition weight percentage of the oscillating magnet composition includes 72%˜82% far-infrared natural mineral base material, 10%˜18% biochar, 2%˜5% seaweed element and activated water agent composed of 3%˜5% of a natural ore; the far-infrared natural mineral base material can emit far-infrared rays, make the water molecules cluster smaller, and the smaller water molecules are easier to penetrate the biofilm.
