A composition designed for improving the digestibility of feed for ruminants contains as active ingredient an aromatic phenol derivative selected from cresols and benzenediols, as well as an absorbing support and an aromatizing mixture.

This invention pertains to a composition of additives for animal feed which includes a solution of volatile and/or irritating products in a liquid coagulating agent which is adsorbed on a vegetable and/or mineral carrier in particles. This carrier is, at least partially, coated with coagulated protein particles bound to this same carrier in order to diminish the free contact area of the carrier. The additive composition can be advantageously blended with premixes or with animal feed.

The vertical walls (6, 7) having any shape are also provided with at least one coupling tab. The transverse vertical wall (7) between the two building elements forming the double building element comprises a breakable portion (13) such that a decorative facing (14) is exposed on its outer sur...

A sheath is provided with a stationary deflector disposed on the path of the slider so that contact between the slider and the deflector causes the slider to be inclined and consequently causes the needle to be inclined inside the sheath. A return mechanism is provided so as to push the inclined slider back in the opposite direction so that the point of the inclined need is prevented from moving. This disposition ensures that the needle cannot escape from the sheath after it has been used.
