Disclosed are methods and compositions including from about 0.00001 wt % to about 100 wt % of an extract derived from sugar cane for use in a variety of treatments, preventatives and control measures involving administration of an extract including from about 10 catechin equivalent (CE) g/L to about 50 CE g/L of polyphenols or from about 100 CE mg/g to about 500 CE mg/g of polyphenols to a subject. These treatments and preventative measures include antimicrobial activity, especially against respiratory viruses in humans as well as treatments for microsporidial infections, such as EHP in shrimps and prawns. Control measures include the reduction of methane generation in ruminants. Use of these compositions, for example in dairy cows, improves the health of the cows by minimizing mastitis whilst enhancing milk yield.
A method for the prevention or treatment of mastitis in a ruminant animal comprising administering orally to the animal, an effective amount of a composition comprising from about 0.00001 wt % to about 100 wt % of an extract derived from sugar cane, the extract comprising from about 10 catechin equivalent (CE) g/L to about 100 CE g/L of polyphenols of which from about 1 catechin equivalent (CE) g/L to about 15 CE g/L are flavonoids or from about 100 CE mg/g to about 1000 CE mg/g of polyphenols of which from about 10 CE mg/g to about 150 CE mg/g are flavonoids.
A method for the prevention of mastitis in a ruminant animal comprising administering orally to the animal, an effective amount of a composition comprising from about 0.00001 wt % to about 100 wt % of an extract derived from sugar cane, the extract comprising from about 10 catechin equivalent (CE) g/L to about 100 CE g/L of polyphenols of which about 1 catechin equivalent (CE) g/L to about 15 CE g/are flavonoids or from about 100 CE mg/g to about 1000 CE mg/g of polyphenols of which from about 10 CE mg/g to about 150 CE mg/g are flavonoids.
