Abstract
The subject of the invention is a process to correct and optimise the feed-composition on basis of testing the levels of so called FIL-lectines in the blood. This correction is exerted by adding certain sugars and amino acids to the feed. Hereby the FIL-level may be adjusted in order to optimize the growth.
Claims11
A process to correct and optimize the composition of a feed in order to increase the daily growth of animals which comprises including in the animal's feed a sufficient quantity of at least one material selected from the group consisting of sugars, sugar alcohols, amino acids and amides so that 1.0 ml of that animal's blood will contain at least 0.5 units of lectines, which in a 0.05M sodium chloride and 0.15M sodium phosphate buffer and at a pH of 7 will attach with high affinity to agarose and which will dissociate from the agarose after the addition of 1 M-.alpha.-methyl-D-glucoside.
