20110229598, Sep 22, 2011

Filed:

Mar 11, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/046162

Inventors:

Robert C. Musser - Woodbury MN, US

Assignee:

Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC - Shoreview MN

International Classification:

A23K 1/165
A23C 9/12
A23K 1/18
A61K 38/44
A61K 38/54

US Classification:

426 2, 426 61, 426 10, 424 944, 424 942

Abstract:

The present invention relates to treatment of milk and milk products such as waste-milk with an enhanced lactoperoxidase system. The enhanced lactoperoxidase system is activated by the addition of a hydrogen peroxide source and an oxidizable agent, such as a halide to the milk to inactivate the bacterial pathogens. The enhanced lactoperoxidase system may be used alone or in conjunction with pasteurization to reduce or eliminate the bacterial load in milk products.

Abstract:

Methods of feeding livestock animals involve feeding the livestock animals a milk replacer comprising percarbonate. The milk replacer has a pH of about 5.8 and the concentration of percarbonate is effective to reduce bacterial growth within the milk replacer product. The milk replacer can also include at least one added organic acid.

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides feed composition comprising at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acids or at least one conjugated linoleic acid and at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acids with normal or basal feed. After administration of one of the feed compositions, improved health aspects, reduced health issues, reduced mortality, increased carcass gain and repartitioning nutrients to muscles, and controlled carcass iodine value in non-human animals as compared to a control group not fed with the feed composition.

International Classification:

Abstract:

Young animals such as calves may be fed milk replacers containing soy having been preserved through treatment with acid-producing bacteria that reduces a pH of the milk replacer through microbial digestion of sugars present in soy to thereby produce a fermented milk replacer. The milk replacer is edible for at least 48 hours and its digestibility in the young animals is increased due to the microbial digestion of sugars in the soy that are otherwise indigestible in the gut of the young animals. The fermented milk replacers may be ingested by young animals in group settings. In addition, the milk replacers containing soy may be treated with enzymes adapted to hydrolyze complex indigestible carbohydrates within the milk replacer, potassium sorbate or both. Feeding systems incorporating these fermented milk replacers may result in increased gain and increased dry matter intake without negatively affecting animal health.

Assignee:

PURINA ANIMAL NUTRITION LLC - Shoreview MN

International Classification:

A23C 11/06

US Classification:

426 2, 426648

Abstract:

Milk replacers include a fat component in which least about 10 percent of the total fat content is formed of medium chain triglycerides. Young animals consuming the milk replacer ingest the medium chain triglycerides at a rate of at least about 13.5 grams per head per day and exhibit improved animal performance. The milk replacers with the modified fatty acid profiles may include a reduced level of fat and protein compared to traditional milk replacers without negatively affecting performance of young animals, and may even enhance performance of the young animals. These milk replacers may be produced by adding the medium chain triglycerides during milk replacer formulation, and at least about 9 grams of medium chain triglycerides are provided per pound of milk replacer.
