Abstract
An animal feed and water additive prepared from seaweed and a method of preparing an additive for animal consumption containing seaweed. Seaweed is dried, ground to a powder, frozen and extracted at warm temperature. A solution of elements, and an oxygen-aloe solution are added to the extract. The extract may be given to animals with their drinking water and/or food.
Claims9
A seaweed-containing additive for animal feed and water, comprising:
- (a) an extract of seaweed obtained by drying, grinding, freezing, and extracting in warm water to cause cellular rupture and retain biological activity, wherein about 1 lb of dried seaweed is added to about 22-176 lb of water to prepare said extract;
- and
- (b) an oxygen-containing liquid prepared from distilled water, about 10% of a peroxide component by volume and about 10% of aloe by volume.
A process of preparing an additive for animal feed and water from seaweed, comprising:
- (a) obtaining dry, ground seaweed;
- (b) freezing the dry, ground seaweed to rupture the seaweed cells and retain biological activity;
- (c) suspending the dry, ground seaweed in water with agitation for about 48-200 hours and warming to about 100.degree.-170.degree. F. to allow extraction of the seaweed, wherein about 1 lb of dried seaweed is added to about 22-176 lb of water to prepare a seaweed extract;
- (d) separating liquid from the suspension of extracted seaweed;
- and
- (e) adding 2-10% by volume of an oxygen-containing liquid to the separated liquid of step (d), said oxygen-containing liquid prepared from water, a peroxide and aloe, said oxygen-containing liquid containing about 10% aloe and about 10% peroxide by volume.
A process of providing an animal with fucose, galactose, and other nutrients, comprising:
- (a) extracting seaweed with drying, grinding, and freezing said seaweed, suspending the seaweed in distilled water, extracting the seaweed at a warm temperature to allow extraction of the seaweed by rupture of the seaweed cells, while retaining biological activity, separating liquid from the suspension, wherein about 1 lb of dried seaweed is added to about 22-176 lb of water to prepare a seaweed extract;
- (b) agitating said liquid for about twelve hours;
- and
- (c) adding said liquid to feed or water of the animal.
A process of decreasing undesirable gastrointestinal microorganisms of poultry or livestock, comprising:
- (a) providing an extract of seaweed, said extract prepared by drying, grinding, and freezing said seaweed, suspending the seaweed in distilled water, extracting the seaweed at a warm temperature to cause cellular rupture and retain biological activity, separating liquid from the suspension, wherein about 1 lb of dried seaweed is added to about 22-176 lb of water to prepare a seaweed extract;
- (b) agitating said liquid for about twelve hours;
- (c) forming an oxygen mixture by adding oxygen base at a concentration of about 2 to 10 per cent to said liquid, said oxygen base containing about 5% peroxide;
- and
- (d) adding said oxygen mixture to feed or water of said poultry or livestock.
