Claims35
A method of increasing the feed efficiency of an animal, the method comprising:
- applying a suppression agent to surfaces of manure that are exposed to atmosphere, the suppression agent comprising acidulated plant-based soapstock, the manure located proximate the animal;
- and
- providing feed to the animal.
A method of reducing the feed requirement of animals exposed to manure while retaining the rate at which the animals gain weight, the method comprising:
- forming a treating agent, the treating agent comprising acidulated plant-based soapstock;
- and
- applying the treating agent to exposed surfaces of the manure, the manure located proximate the animals during feed consumption by the animals.
A method of reducing the rate of death of animals exposed to manure, the method comprising:
- forming a treating agent, the treating agent comprising acidulated plant-based soapstock;
- and
- applying the treating agent to exposed surfaces of the manure, the manure located proximate the animals.
A composition, the composition comprising:
- manure having an outer surface;
- and
- a treating agent, the treating agent in contact with the outer surface of the manure, the treating agent comprising acidulated plant-based soapstock, and the treating agent effective to reduce the feed requirement of animals exposed to the manure while retaining the rate at which the animals gain weight.
A composition, the composition comprising:
- manure having an outer surface;
- and
- a coating material, the coating material in contact with the outer surface of the manure, the coating material comprising acidulated plant-based soapstock, and the coating material effective to reduce the rate of death of animals exposed to the manure.
