Claims9
A method of treatment of a Clostridium perfringens infection and/or necrotic enteritis in an animal, comprising the steps of administering a polypeptide having lysozyme activity to the animal, wherein the polypeptide has at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 257.
A method of improving the performance of an animal, comprising administering a polypeptide having lysozyme activity to the animal, wherein the polypeptide has at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 257.
A nucleic acid construct or expression vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having lysozyme activity, wherein the polynucleotide is operably linked to one or more control sequences that direct the production of the polypeptide in a recombinant host cell and wherein the polypeptide has at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 257.
