Abstract
The present invention relates to a method reducing necrotic enteritis effect in a bird comprising administering an oligosaccharide preparation, and to an oligosaccharide preparation for use in treatment, amelioration and/or prophylaxis of a bird suffering from necrotic enteritis or in risk thereof.
Claims14
Method for reducing necrotic enteritis effect in a bird, comprising the step of administering an oligosaccharide preparation to a bird in need of reducing necrotic enteritis effect,
- wherein the oligosaccharide preparation comprises at least n fractions of oligosaccharides each having a distinct degree of polymerization selected from 1 to n (DP1 to DPn fractions), wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2;
- and
- wherein each fraction comprises from at least about 0.5% to about 90%, e.g. from 1% to 90%, or e.g. from about 0.5% to about 15%, of anhydro-subunit containing oligosaccharides by relative abundance as determined by mass spectrometry.
Use of an oligosaccharide preparation for reducing necrotic enteritis effect in a bird in need thereof,
- wherein the oligosaccharide preparation comprises at least n fractions of oligosaccharides each having a distinct degree of polymerization selected from 1 to n (DP1 to DPn fractions), wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2;
- and
- wherein each fraction comprises from at least about 0.5% to about 90%, e.g. from 1% to 90%, or e.g. from about 0.5% to about 15%, of anhydro-subunit containing oligosaccharides by relative abundance as determined by mass spectrometry.
Oligosaccharide preparation for use in treatment, amelioration and/or prophylaxis of a bird suffering from necrotic enteritis or in risk thereof,
- wherein the oligosaccharide preparation comprises at least n fractions of oligosaccharides each having a distinct degree of polymerization selected from 1 to n (DP1 to DPn fractions), wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2;
- and
- wherein each fraction comprises from at least about 0.5% to about 90%, e.g. from 1% to 90%, or e.g. from about 0.5% to about 15%, of anhydro-subunit containing oligosaccharides by relative abundance as determined by mass spectrometry.
