Abstract: A zinc complex of lysocellin is provided. The complex acts as a coccidiostat and growth-promoting agent when administered to poultry.

Abstract: A process for promoting growth and feed efficiency in food producing animals is provided by administering to such animals, growth promoting amounts of certain forms of lysocellin, including the free acid and physiologically-acceptable salts thereof.Metal complexes of lysocellin can be prepared by adding the appropriate soluble metal salts to a fermentation beer containing lysocellin to thereby form an insoluble, recoverable biomass containing the desired growth-promoting metal salt complex of lysocellin for use in the process herein.

Abstract: Crystalline lysocellin compositions, and method of making them. These compounds are useful for promoting growth and feed efficiency in food producing mammals by administering growth promoting amounts of the compounds to such mammals. In particular, the crystalline free acid and the crystalline zinc, copper and manganese of lysocellin can be made according to the disclosed methods.

Abstract: Porcine serum albumin stabilizes porcine growth hormone, and provided for sustained release of porcine growth hormone in implant devices for swine.

Abstract: A mixture comprising a dispersion of a water-diffusible solid in a solution of a non-aqueous solvent and a substantially water-insoluble polymer is formed. The non-aqueous solvent is removed from the mixture to substantially dry the mixture, and the substantially dry mixture is comminuted to form particles. A plurality of the particles are formed under pressure to produce a pellet suitable for use as a sustained release implant device.

Abstract: A shoe display and storage cabinet includes a wall array having a first shoe compartment with a plurality of vertically arranged, substantially horizontal shelves displaying a plurality of half-pairs of shoes. The first compartment includes an open display side exposing the shelves and shoes to view. Also provided is a selectively closable, second shoe compartment horizontally adjacent the first shoe compartment, the second shoe compartment having a plurality of vertically arranged, substantially horizontal shelves corresponding to the shelves of the first compartment. The shelves of the second compartment hold a plurality of shoes that correspond to the shoes of the first compartment and together with the shoes of the first compartment form matching pairs of shoes. The second compartment includes a selectively openable door for covering a side of the second compartment corresponding to the open display side of the first compartment.

Abstract: Antibiotic-metal complexes contain bacitracin, a non-toxic, complex-forming metal and a polyether antibiotic are disclosed. The complexes are useful (1) for promoting growth in poultry and mammals, (2) for controlling swine dysentery, (3) modifying rumen fluid by decreasing the acetate to propionate (A/P) ratio, (4) controlling coccidiosis in birds, and (5) purifying bacitracin or a bacitracin-metal salt.

Abstract: Purification and activation of proteins produced in transformant microorganisms as insoluble, biologically inactive inclusion bodies can be effected by solubilizing the inclusion bodies in SDS; dialyzing or refrigerating the protein solution to remove a portion of the SDS; chromatographing the protein solution on an ion-retardation resin to remove the remaining SDS from the protein; and chromatographing the protein solution thus obtained on an anion-exchange resin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bolus adapted to be orally administered to ruminants. The bolus contains a mixture of a magnesium silicate, a binder, and a rumen-soluble material. The bolus of the present invention provides for the controlled release of supplemental magnesium as a means of preventing and combatting the disease known as hypomaganesemia. Optionally, the bolus of the present invention can serve as a carrier for various biologically active substances.
