Abstract
Disclosed are compositions, kits, and methods for improving feed conversion rate in an animal in need thereof. The methods typically comprise administering orally to the animal a composition comprising biodegradable particles, the biodegradable particles comprising a polymer or a co-polymer comprising polylactide (PLA) and having an effective average diameter of 0.5-5 μm. In the methods, the animal is administered a dose of the biodegradable particles that is effective for improving feed conversion rate in the animal in comparison to an animal that is not administered the composition.

A method for improving feed conversion rate in an animal in need thereof, the method comprising administering orally to the animal a composition comprising biodegradable particles, the biodegradable particles comprising a polymer or a co-polymer comprising polylactide (PLA) and having an effective average diameter of 0.5-5 μm, wherein the animal is administered a dose of the biodegradable particles that is effective for improving feed conversion rate in the animal in comparison to an animal that is not administered the composition.
A method for improving feed conversion rate in a chicken hatchling in need thereof, the method comprising administering orally to the chicken hatchling a composition comprising biodegradable particles, the biodegradable particles comprising a polymer or a co-polymer comprising polylactide (PLA) and having an effective average diameter of 0.5-5 μm, wherein the chicken hatchling is administered a dose of the biodegradable particles that is effective for improving feed conversion rate in the chicken hatchling in comparison to a chicken hatchling that is not administered the composition.
A method for improving feed conversion rate in a swine in need thereof, the method comprising administering orally to the swine a composition comprising biodegradable particles, the biodegradable particles comprising a polymer or a co-polymer comprising polylactide (PLA) and having an effective average diameter of 0.5-5 μm, wherein the swine is administered a dose of the biodegradable particles that is effective for improving feed conversion rate in the swine in comparison to a swine that is not administered the composition.
