Abstract
A method of collecting, sterilizing, standardizing, drying and mixing rumen fluid while retaining the activity of the contained bacterial polysaccharides is described. Nutritional compositions including the resulting product, probiotics, nutricines, vitamins, minerals, an amino acid, and a monosaccharide are depicted. The use of this resulting nutritional composition the first few days of young animals' lives result in decreased diarrhea morbidity, severity and mortality. It also helps supply nutrients for the support of natural immune response and function.
Claims74
A method for the promotion of growth and weight gain, the abatement of diarrheal disease and the reduction in mortality in a farm animal comprising the administration of bacterial polysaccharides derived from dried rumen fluid combined with nutritional aids for the first 1-7 days of life.
A preventative feed additive composition for the promotion of growth and weight gain, the abatement of diarrheal disease and the reduction in mortality in a farm animal comprising the administration of bacterial polysaccharides derived from dried rumen fluid combined with nutritional aids for the first 1-7 days of life.
A method for collecting, processing, sterilizing and stabilizing rumen fluid to retain the bioactivity of the bacterial polysaccharides found therein.
A method of freeze-drying sterilized rumen to maintain the bioactivity of the bacterial polysaccharides.
A method of synthesizing rumen bacterial polysaccharides in increased amounts using a cow as the growth apparatus, a special formulation of normal cow feed as a substrate and a combination of feeding time, time of day, feeding technique, collection area, feed physical form and number of feedings to maximize bacterial growth and diversity.
A method of standardizing the dose of bacterial polysaccharides by measuring the amount of bacterial polysaccharides in the rumen fluid, measuring the amount of fluid dried, then determining the total amount of bacterial polysaccharides contained in the dried rumen fluid wafer. This quantity of bacterial polysaccharides is then used to determine the total number of doses that may be produced. The freeze dried rumen fluid wafer is then weighed and an amino acid carrier (threonine) is added to Q. S. the total to the weight represented by the weight of the total number of doses that may be produced.
