| 20110229599 | Modification of feed consumption patterns in beef cattle rations - The present invention relates to feed compositions that can modify the feeding behavior of animals. Supplements can be added to no or low roughage rations that improve the performance of animals. In particular, the addition of calcium chloride to a low or no roughage ration can increase the number of feedings but decrease the amount of feeding per meal. This can result in promoting enhances feed conversion and better cost of feed to weight gain. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110229598 | Enhanced lactoperoxidase system for treatment of milk products - The present invention relates to treatment of milk and milk products such as waste-milk with an enhanced lactoperoxidase system. The enhanced lactoperoxidase system is activated by the addition of a hydrogen peroxide source and an oxidizable agent, such as a halide to the milk to inactivate the bacterial pathogens. The enhanced lactoperoxidase system may be used alone or in conjunction with pasteurization to reduce or eliminate the bacterial load in milk products. | 09-22-2011 |
