Abstract
The invention consists of novel systems and methods for mixing and/or applying biologies including live biologies and/or any additive having therapeutic or growth promoting value with and/or to animal feed, thereby creating treated animal feed, and for delivering such treated animal feed to animals in need via a delivery system. The invention also provides a system and method to treat seed with biologies prior to or contemporaneously with packaging, storing, and/or planting.
Claims17
A system for delivery of biologics to animals, the system comprising:
- a means for applying biologics to animal feed in a continuous, uniform, controllable, variable-rate process allowing for onsite in field delivery of time-sensitive biologics and thereby creating treated animal feed;
- and
- a means for providing and delivering the treated animal feed to an animal in need thereof in a controllable, variable-rate process,
- wherein the biologics applied and delivered are temperature-sensitive biologics;
- wherein an amount of biologics applied to the animal feed is controlled to:
- allow for in field absorption of an adequate amount of the biologics into the animal feed to provide an effective dose to the animal;
- and
- wherein the system can make in field instantaneous changes in feed rates to adapt to animals' feeding preferences and rates of consumption.
A system for delivery of biologics to seed, the system comprising:
- a means for applying biologics to seed in a continuous, uniform, controllable, variable-rate process allowing for onsite in field delivery of time-sensitive biologics and thereby creating treated seed, wherein the biologics applied and delivered are temperature-sensitive biologics;
- wherein an amount of biologics applied to the seed is controlled to:
- allow for in field coating of the seed with an effective amount of biologics;
- and
- wherein the system can make in field instantaneous changes in the amount of biologics applied to the seed.
