Abstract: The invention relates to methods employing pH-buffered, redox-stabilized compositions comprising halide and oxyhalide ions. The compositions can be administered to food animals to effect enhanced food utilization, lower mortality, decreased nitrogen excretion, decreased dependence on antibiotics and vaccines, overall enhanced health and immunostimulation in the animals. Additionally, the compositions can be used to treat food animal carcasses to reduce foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms.
