  • Method for improving the efficiency of ruminant feed utilization
    Patent number: 4333923
    Abstract: Phthalides enhance propionate production and inhibit methane production in the rumen and are thus useful for improving feed utilization efficiency in ruminant animals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 1981
    Date of Patent: June 8, 1982
    Assignee: Eli Lilly and Company
    Inventors: James R. Beck, Joseph A. Yahner
  • Control of phytopathogens using dinitroaniline compounds
    Patent number: 4259347
    Abstract: It has been discovered that fungal foliar phytopathogens may be controlled by the use of a broad class of 2,6-dinitroanilines. The fungicidally-effective compounds may bear a broad range of substituent groups on the anilino nitrogen and in the 3- and 4-positions of the benzene ring.
    Type: Grant
