After administration of one of the feed compositions, improved health aspects, reduced health issues, reduced mortality, increased carcass gain and repartitioning nutrients to muscles, and controlled carcass iodine value in non-human animals as compared to a control group not fed with the feed composition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for increasing carcass gain and repartitioning nutrients to muscle (nitrogen retention) in non-human animals, the method comprising administering a feed composition consisting of at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid wherein after administration of the feed composition, the non-human animals show increased carcass gain and repartitioned nutrients to muscles (nitrogen retention). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein increased carcass gain and repartitioning nutrients to muscles (nitrogen retention) are measured by heavier hot carcass weight, greater carcass weight gain than total weight gain, increased loin depth, reduced back fat, increased carcass yield, increased lean percentage, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the feed composition consisting of at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid is formulated with the normal feed or added to normal feed or basal feed for oral administration to the non-human animal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the average daily intake of the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid ranges from about 0.5 g/day to about 1.5 g/day for the non-human animal. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the feed composition is administered at least once per day. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises between 30 gram/ton to about 306 gram/ton of at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the composition comprises between 90 gram/ton to about 245 gram/ton of cyclopropenoid fatty acid. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid comprises sterculic acid, malvalic acid, dihydrosterculic acid, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid is a synthetic substance, derived from a natural substance, derived from bacterial fermentation, derived from algae, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The methods of claim 1, wherein the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid wherein the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid is a liquid, a suitable acceptable salt of the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid, an oil comprising the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid, or combinations thereof. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the at least one cyclopropenoid fatty acid is an oil. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the oil comprising at least one cyclopropenoic fatty acid is from 10% weight to about 60% weight % of at least one conjugated cyclopropenoid fatty acid. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the non-human animal is selected from a group comprising pigs, cattle, poultry, alpaca, bison, camel, donkey, goat, horse, llama, mule, rabbit, sheep, goat, deer, aquaculture fish, aquaculture crustaceans, aquaculture mollusks, aquaculture echinoderms, or combinations thereof.
