Glucopyranosyl and oligoglucosidyl derivatives of 4,6-bisdesoxy-4-(4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-hydroxymethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ylamino)- .alpha.-D-glucopyranose, which are inhibitors of glycoside hydrolases of the digestive tract, favorably improve the meat:fat ratio in animals in favor of a higher proportion of meat. A single amino-sugar or a mixture of amino-sugars can be formulated in combination with an edible carrier and fed to animals. A representative embodiment is a pig feedstuff in admixture with O-{4,6-bisdesoxy-4-[lS-(1,4,6/5)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-hydroxymethylcyclohex- 2-en-1-ylamino]-.alpha.-D-glucopyranoxyl}-(1.fwdarw.4)-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyr anosyl-(1.fwdarw.4)-D-glucopyranose.
A composition which when orally administered to animals influences the utilization of feed by reducing formation of fat and thereby increasing the meat:fat ratio of the animal in favor of a higher proportion of meat, said composition comprising at least one amino-sugar as herein defined in combination with an edible diluent or carrier, said amino-sugar chemically consisting of a 4,6-bidesoxy-4-(4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-hydroxymethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ylamino)-. alpha.-D-glucopyranose of the formula:
A composition which when orally administered to animals influences the utilization of feed by reducing formation of fat and thereby increasing the meat:fat ratio of the animal in favor of a higher proportion of meat, said composition comprising at least one amino-sugar as herein defined in combination with an edible diluent or carrier, said amino-sugar having the conformational formula:
The method of influencing the utilization of feed in an animal by reducing formation of fat and thereby increasing the meat:fat ratio in the animal in favor of a higher proportion of meat which comprises orally administering to said animal an effective amount of at least one amino-sugar as herein defined, said amino-sugar chemically consisting of a 4,6-bidesoxy-4-(4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-hydroxymethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ylamino)-. alpha.-D-glucopyranose of the formula:
The method of influencing the utilization of feed in an animal by reducing formation of fat and thereby increasing the meat:fat ratio in the animal in favor of a higher proportion of meat which comprises orally administering to said animal an effective amount of at least one amino-sugar as herein defined, said amino-sugar having the conformational formula:
