## Abstract

The present invention provides domestic animal water modifying compositions, domestic animal water modifying compositions with copper, domestic animal water modifying compositions with silver and domestic animal feed modifying compositions. Such compositions are provided to domestic animals to provide, for example, improved weight gain, decreased mortality, improved feed conversion rations, improved overall health and reductions in grow-out periods for domestic animals to which such compositions are administered.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An animal water and feed modifying composition comprising:
about 4 percent to about 12 percent w/w solubility enhancing aqueous composition;
about 25 percent to about 40 percent w/w propylene glycol;
about 5 percent to about 15 percent w/w citric acid;
wherein the solubility enhancing aqueous composition comprises sulfate ions, alone or in combination with bisulfate ions, having a concentration from about 8.00 moles per liter to about 13.00 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume; a cationic component comprising ammonium ions having a concentration from about 1.45 moles per liter to about 2.01 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume; and hydrogen ions in a concentration from about 17.38 mols per liter to about 21.68 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A composition of claim 1, wherein the solubility enhancing aqueous composition is substantially free of solids.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A composition of claim 1, wherein the solubility enhancing aqueous composition is free of solids.

### Claim 4

An animal water and feed modifying composition consisting of:
about 4 percent to about 12 percent w/w solubility enhancing aqueous composition;
about 25 percent to about 40 percent w/w propylene glycol;
about 5 percent to about 15 percent w/w citric acid;
wherein the solubility enhancing aqueous composition consists of sulfate ions, alone or in combination with bisulfate ions, having a concentration from about 8.00 moles per liter to about 13.00 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume; a cationic component comprising ammonium ions having a concentration from about 1.45 moles per liter to about 2.01 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume; and hydrogen ions in a concentration from about 17.38 mots per liter to about 21.68 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

A composition of claim 4, wherein the solubility enhancing aqueous composition is substantially free of solids.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

A composition of claim 4, wherein the solubility enhancing aqueous composition is free of solids.
