Abstract: Disclosed embodiments concern a composition and/or combination, and a method of administering the same as a feed, or to supplement the feed of, aquatic animals, particularly for aquaculture. Disclosed composition and/or combination embodiments may comprise glucan, silica, mineral clay, mannans, yucca, quillaja, a probiotic, and/or an adhesive agent. The adhesive agent may be selected particularly to facilitate administration to aquatic species. In certain embodiments the adhesive agent comprises an oil, such as soy oil, or a syrup, such as molasses, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments the composition and/or combination may further comprise polyphenol, an antimicrobial, and/or a vaccine. Also disclosed is a method for promoting growth and/or immune function in aquatic animals.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for promoting reduction of heat stress in animals, as well as a composition for use in the disclosed method. The composition comprises a glucan, silica, mineral clay, mannan, and optionally an endoglucanohydrolase, and may be administered to an animal that is susceptible to or suffers from heat stress.

Abstract: Embodiments of a composition comprising silica, mineral clay, mannans, or any combination thereof are disclosed. The composition may further comprise glucan. The composition is administered to an animal that will be administered, or has been administered, a growth promotant. The growth promotant may be a ?-agonist, antibiotic, steroid or hormone. The composition is fed to the animal for a period of time before administration of the growth promotant, during administration of the growth promotant, and/or after administration of the growth promotant. Administration of the composition to the animal ameliorates, or prevents development of, at least one deleterious symptom or sign, such as a deleterious symptom or sign potentially associated with administration of the growth promotant. Embodiments of a composition comprising (i) a growth promotant and (ii) glucan, silica, mineral clay, mannans, or any combination thereof also are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for the augmentation of immune function is described. The invention comprises a combination of ?-1,3 (4)-endoglucanohydrolase, ?-1,3 (4)-glucan, diatomaceous earth, mineral clay and glucomannan, which is fed to or consumed by mammalian or avian species in amounts sufficient to augment immune function. The invention described may be admixed with feeds or foods, incorporated into pelleted feeds or foods or administered orally to mammalian and avian species.
