A process of producing, collecting, increasing the volume, processing, standardizing, stabilizing, sterilizing and drying bacterial polysaccharides 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 the product containing bacterial polysaccharides or the resulting nutritional composition the first few days of young animals' lives result in decreased diarrhea morbidity, severity and mortality. The nutritional composition also helps supply nutrients for the support of natural immune response and function.
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 anaerobic fermentation cultures, for which rumen ingesta was the inoculum, exclusively or 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 anaerobic fermentation cultures, for which rumen ingesta was the inoculum, exclusively or combined with nutritional aids for the first 1-7 days of life.
A method of freeze-drying bacterial polysaccharides to maintain the bioactivity of the bacterial polysaccharides.
A method of growing rumen bacterial population 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 fermentation solution, measuring the amount of fluid dried, then determining the total amount of bacterial polysaccharides contained in the dried fermentation solution wafer. This quantity of bacterial polysaccharides is then used to determine the total number of doses that may be produced. The freeze dried fermentation solution 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.
A method of standardizing the level of bacterial polysaccharides in the liquid fermentation product by testing during incubation and adding dried bacterial polysaccharides or water to obtain the concentration desired.
A method of producing, collecting, increasing the volume, processing, standardizing, stabilizing, sterilizing and drying bacterial polysaccharides while retaining the activity of the contained bacterial polysaccharides
A method to maintain the diversification of the ruminal bacterial flora collected and the physical characteristics of the bacteria and their polysaccharide coating while allowing increased production per donor animal unit.
