The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising carvacrol and/or thymol as active agents in the veterinary field. The compositions according to the invention can be used in the treatment of histomoniasis, an infectious disease of poultry, mainly of turkeys, and in treatment against hemoflagellates.
This disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions which include oil extract from plants from the Labiatae family. In particular, the compositions can be formulated by combining extracts of essential oils from plants of the Labiatae family with an organic acid or a Group I salt. It is believed that the antimicrobial activity of the pharmaceutical composition is due to the presence of organic phenols, such as isopropyl-o-cresol, in the oil extract from the plants.

The invention provides A composition for increasing milk production in an animal that includes an active compound chosen from calcium isopropyl cresol, calcium isopropyl-o-cresol, lactic acid, or combinations thereof, and calcium carbonate as a buffering agent. The invention also provides a composition for increasing milk production in an animal that includes about 0.1 wt % to about 15 wt % of the total weight of the composition of active compound, wherein the active compound is chosen from calcium isopropyl cresol, calcium isopropyl-o-cresol, and lactic acid, about 40 wt % to about 75 wt % of the total weight of the composition of calcium carbonate, and about 10 wt % to about 60 wt % of the total weight of the composition of at least one carrier. The invention also provides a method for increasing milk production in an animal that includes making a composition having an active compound chosen from calcium isopropyl cresol, calcium isopropyl-o-cresol, lactic acid, or combinations thereof, and calcium carbonate as a buffering agent, and feeding the composition to the animal, wherein consumption of the composition increases milk production in the animal.
The present invention comprises compositions, methods and cell lines related to controlling insects. An embodiment of a composition comprises a plant essential oil and targets at least one receptor of insects chosen from tyramine receptor, Or83b olfactory receptor, and Or43a olfactory receptor, resulting in a change in the intracellular levels of cAMP, Ca2+, or both in the insects.
