Claims12
A method of improving nitrogen utilization in an animal, the method comprising:
- a. administering a nutritional composition comprising a base nutritional composition and a SOD preparation to said animal,
- b. wherein said SOD preparation comprises a polypeptide having superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity;
- and
- c. wherein the level of a plurality of metabolites associated with enhanced nitrogen utilization is higher in a gastrointestinal sample from said animal compared to a gastrointestinal sample from a comparable control animal that has been administered a comparable nutritional composition comprising said base nutritional composition and lacking said SOD preparation.

A method of improving carbon utilization in an animal, the method comprising:
- a. administering a nutritional composition comprising a base nutritional composition and a SOD preparation to said animal,
- b. wherein said SOD preparation comprises a polypeptide having superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity;
- and
- c. wherein the level of a plurality of metabolites associated with improved carbon utilization in a gastrointestinal sample from said animal is higher compared to a comparable control animal that has been administered a comparable nutritional composition comprising said base nutritional composition and lacking said SOD preparation.
