Abstract
A method of altering the composition of animal waste including introducing internally to an animal one or more treatment substances that can directly or indirectly affect the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds in animal waste, such that animal waste acts as a carrier so that the one or more substances affect the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds once the waste has been excreted from the animal.

A method of altering the composition of animal waste comprising introducing internally to an animal one or more treatment substances that can directly or indirectly affect the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds in animal waste, such that animal waste acts as a carrier so that the one or more substances affect the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds once the waste has been excreted from the animal.
A method for decreasing the amount of convertible nitrogen released from an animal comprising administering internally to the animal an effective amount of a treatment substance capable of directly or indirectly affecting the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds in animal waste, such that animal waste acts as a carrier so that the one or more substances affect the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds once the waste is excreted from the animal.
A delivery device for altering the composition of animal waste, wherein the delivery device is adapted to deliver internally to an animal one or more treatment substances that can directly or indirectly affect the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds in animal waste, and wherein the delivery device is configured such that animal waste acts as a carrier so that the one or more substances affect the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds once the waste is excreted from the animal.
A feed stock for an animal, wherein the feed stock contains a nitrogen process modifier at a concentration sufficient to ensure that the nitrogen process modifier will be excreted in animal waste after the animal consumes the feed stock.
