Abstract
The compositions, method, system, and process of the invention provide increased circulating lipids, including serum triglycerides, in animals by utilizing oleaginous microorganisms as an oral supplement for the animals to increase available energy, enhance probiotics health, and provide enhanced immune system protection against pathogens in the animals.
Claims4
A method of improving the nutritional supplementation profile of an animal in need thereof, the method comprising:
- forming an oral supplement composition comprising a delivery media combined with at least one oleaginous microorganism;
- administering said oral supplement composition to the animal in an amount effective to improve the nutritional supplementation profile in the animal, wherein the oral supplement composition comprises at least about 20% of its cellular weight as lipid;
- and
- increasing a level of circulating triglycerides of the animal through the administration of the composition to the animal to enhance an immunity response of the animal, and
- wherein the nutritional supplementation includes nutritional, energy, or immune system supplementation, or a combination thereof, for the animal and
- wherein the at least one oleaginous microorganism is enteric bacteria Enterobacter cloacae strain JD6301, Enterobacter cloacae strain JD8715, or a combination thereof.
A method of increasing triacylglyceride concentration and improving the nutritional supplementation profile of an animal in need thereof, the method comprising:
- forming an oral supplement composition comprising a delivery media combined with at least one oleaginous microorganism;
- and
- administering said oral supplement composition to the animal in an amount effective to improve the nutritional supplementation profile in the animal, wherein the oral supplement composition comprises at least about 20% of its cellular weight as lipid,
- wherein the nutritional supplementation includes nutritional, energy, or immune system supplementation, or a combination thereof, for the animal, and
- wherein the at least one oleaginous microorganism is enteric bacteria Enterobacter cloacae strain JD6301, Enterobacter cloacae strain JD8715, or a combination thereof.
