Abstract
Agents for promoting fattening of animals which contain as the active ingredient(s) at least one member selected from among acids originating in hexoses, non-toxic salts thereof and intramolecular esterification products thereof; and a method of promoting fattening by using these agents.
Claims25
A method for raising an animal comprising administering to said animal with a feed or drinking water at least one compound selected from the group consisting of:
- a hexose-derived acid(s),
- a non-toxic salt(s) thereof and
- an intramolecular ester compound(s) thereof,
- wherein said at least one compound is administered to animals in an amount of 20 to 1,300 mg/kg/day and
- wherein said at least one compound promotes the growth of enterobacteria having the ability to produce a short-chain fatty acid.
A method for raising an animal comprising administering to said animal with a feed or drinking water, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of:
- a hexose-derived acid(s),
- a non-toxic salt(s) thereof and
- an intramolecular ester compound(s) thereof,
- wherein said at least one compound is administered to said animals in an amount of 200 to 1,300 mg/kg/day, and
- wherein said at least one compound inhibits the production of an intracorporeal harmful substance.
A method for raising an animal comprising administering to said animal with a feed or drinking water at least one compound selected from the group consisting of:
- a hexose-derived acid(s),
- a non-toxic salt(s) thereof and
- an intramolecular ester compound(s) thereof
- wherein said at least one compound is administered in an amount of 20 to 1,300 mg/kg/day, and
- wherein the animal is selected from the group consisting of cattle, pigs or chickens.
A method for animal feeding, comprising:
- selecting an animal in need of (a) fattening, (b) the promotion of the growth of enterobacteria which produce a short-chain fatty acid, or (c) the reduction of the production of lactic acid, succinic acid, ammonia or hydrogen sulfide,
- administering to said animal an amount of at least one hexose-derived acid, or a salt or intramolecular ester of a hexose derived acid, in a feed or drinking water,
- wherein said amount is effective to promote the fattening of said animal, effective to promote the growth of enterobacteria which produce at least one short-chain fatty acid in said animal, or effective to reduce the production of lactic acid, succinic acid, ammonia or hydrogen sulfide in said animal.
