An effective treatment method and composition for controlling a variety of diseases including disease in poultry are disclosed. The inventive concept set forth herein provides an improved long-lasting treatment having a positive latency effect for a broad variety of diseases that is easy to administer and cost effective. The disclosed method of treatment utilizes a compound derived from a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of gram-negative bacteria. By administering the compound early in broiler life, disease prevention and treatment via immune modulation result. The treatment has a lasting effect throughout the entire broiler production period. The composition itself is a natural product and thus has no adverse environmental impact unlike known antibiotic regimens. By providing effective treatment during the stage of life where feed consumption is lowest by volume, costs to the producer are advantageously limited.
A method for preventing or minimizing coccidial the risk of infection in an animal substantially during its lifetime, the method comprising feeding to the animal an effective amount of a composition comprising a lipopolysaccharide derived from Gram-negative bacteria, the method including the step of initially feeding the animal the effective amount of the composition during the first week of life.
A method of protecting a recipient against coccidiosis, comprising administering to the recipient feed including a non-antibiotic composition in the form of a lipopolysaccharide derived from Gram-negative bacteria in an amount effective to minimize the risk of the animal becoming infected with coccidiosis, the composition being fed to the animal in an amount providing from about 0.5 lbs. composition per ton of finished feed to about 11.0 lbs. composition per ton of finished feed.
A method for preventing or minimizing coccidial the risk of infection in an animal substantially during its lifetime, the method comprising feeding to the animal an effective amount of a composition comprising a lipopolysaccharide derived from Gram-negative bacteria, the method including the step of feeding the animal the effective amount of the composition during the first week of life, whereby subsequent treatments of the composition beyond the first week of life are rendered unnecessary in the prevention of coccodia infection.
A composition for the treatment of coccidiosis in animals, the composition comprising effective amounts of a feed ingredient is a biomass selected from the group consisting of an algal biomass and a bacterial biomass.
