Abstract: This invention is directed to a product for use in avian subjects comprising a combination of in ovo vaccine and probiotic, and related methods.

Abstract: A plant grown from seeds derived from a new interhybrid of a hybrid of three plants of the Momordica genus and a second hybrid of two plants of the Momordica genus and a plant of the Siraitia genus has been developed. Parts of these new hybrid plants, when ingested by a human, have blood glucose and/or insulin regulating properties as well as anti-inflammatory properties. Edibles containing parts of the plants or extracts that promote blood glucose regulation and/or act as an anti-inflammatory are also disclosed.

Abstract: A plant grown from seeds derived from a new interhybrid of three plants of the Momordica genus has been cultivated. The new plant hybrid has a faster growth rate than the parent species. Parts of the new interhybrid plant which, when ingested by an individual, have blood glucose and/or insulin regulating properties. Foods and/or beverages containing parts or extracts of the new interhybrid plant and which to promote weight control or loss and/or blood glucose regulation are also disclosed.

Abstract: An antigen composition for stimulating an immune response in an inoculated avian species to at least one intestinal pathogenic organism includes seven field strains of E. coli, Pseudomona aeruginosa, Aerobacter aerogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella agona, and Salmonella Kentucky. The antigen composition can be used alone or in combination with a Marek's Disease vaccine to reduce shedding of E. coli and/or Salmonella bacteria.

Abstract: An antigen composition for stimulating an immune response in an inoculated avian species to at least one intestinal pathogenic organism includes naturally-occurring wild Salmonella enterica subspecies in O-serogroups B, C3 and D. Subspecies in O-serogroup B can include Salmonella typhimurium and/or Salmonella agona. Subspecies in O-serogroup C3 can include Salmonella Kentucky. Subspecies in O-serogroup D can include Salmonella enteritidis. The antigen composition can be used alone or in combination with a Marek's Disease vaccine to reduce shedding of E. coli and/or Salmonella bacteria.
