By giving mammals, fowls, fish, etc. feeds containing Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (FERM BP-1096), an excellent body weight gain and feed efficiency can be obtained.

A liquid animal feed supplement. The liquid feed supplement, which is gravitationally stable for prolonged periods of time, comprises essentially a colloidal mixture of spent brewers' yeast and a water dispersible water-binding agent in an aqueous alcoholic medium.

An animal feedstuff contains a minor amount of a lysophospholipid that has growth promoting properties when fed to animals. The lysopbospholipid is produced from a kit that can be incorporated into an animal feed, where the kit includes a substrate and a bacterial strain that is capable of producing an enzyme capable of converting the substrate into the lysophospholipid.

Method of promoting growth and improving feed efficiency in economically important animals which comprises the oral administration to said animals of feed containing an effective amount of amphomycin.

A nitrogenous animal feed complex and especially a proteinaceous animal feed complex, comprising a protein organic tanning substance complex that protects the proteinaceous feed against bacterial deamination in the upper regions of the alimentary tract (typically in the rumen of a ruminant), and dissociates in the presence of the proteolytic enzymes present in the lower regions of the alimentary tract.

A process for the dehydrogenation of a hydrocarbon and/or oxygenated hydrocarbon feed, which process comprises the steps of (a) sequentially contacting the feed with a catalyst bed in a reaction chamber at elevated temperature, said catalyst bed comprising a first catalyst which is a dehydrogenation catalyst to produce a dehydrogenated product and hydrogen and a second catalyst capable of adsorbing and/or reacting with at least some of said hydrogen, said second catalyst having a porous coating....

A composition and method for inhibiting the growth of pathogens in animal feeds is disclosed. The active ingredient is a mixture of n-butyric acid and propionic acid, each partially or completed converted to one of its salt forms.

The present invention relates to connecting and impedance matching a balanced electrical signal, such as that received by an antenna, with an unbalanced transmission circuit, such as that delivered to an amplifier. A planar circuit board is described that delivers signals having opposite polarization collected by different antenna arms to a location for convenient connection to a twin-lead transmission line. Circuit topologies for the circuit board are described that provide relatively low loss ...

A method of catalytically hydroconverting a hydrocarbon feed stream containing a substantial quantity of components boiling above about 1000.degree. F. to convert a substantial portion thereof to components boiling below 1000.degree. F. is disclosed. More particularly, aromatic heavy oil additive, such as Heavy Cycle Gas Oil, is added to a heavy hydrocarbon feed stream and the stream is contacted with a solid catalyst and an oil-miscible metal naphthenate. The method disclosed herein advantageou...

Apparatus for making foods and animal feeds from starchy raw materials, such as flour, meal and grits of cereals, pulses, starch roots, tubers, oil seeds, cakes of oil seeds, milk products, or mixtures of these materials, which includes: mixing water and at least one high-temperature resistant enzyme with the raw materials to form an extrudable paste; effecting partial gelatinization and initiating fermentation by extruding the paste while heating the paste to a temperature of from 65.degree.C (...
