Patent number: 8303979Abstract: The invention relates to products and methods for increasing the productivity in farming by improving the fertility of healthy farming mammals. More in particular, the invention relates to products and methods for improving the fertility of animals by reducing placental insufficiency. According to the invention, this is obtained by providing a product which is enriched in L-arginine. The arginine products of the invention may be applied to improve fertility, which may be used in improving the yield in viable offspring of an animal livestock.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2004Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Nutreco Nederland B.V.Inventor: Tette van der Lende

Patent number: 8252349Abstract: The invention relates to a ruminant feed supplement for the treatment of milk fever. According to the invention rice bran that has been subjected to a ruminal bypass treatment is used in the feed of dairy cows. The ruminal bypass treatment may for instance be selected from the chemical cross-linking, physical cross-linking, coating, or combinations thereof. The invention further relates to the use of rice bran for the manufacture of a composition for the prophylactic treatment of parturient paresis in ruminants, wherein the rice bran has been subjected to a ruminal bypass treatment.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2007Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Nutreco Nederland B.V.Inventor: Javier Martin-Tereso Lopez

Patent number: 6440666Abstract: The invention relates to a gene located on chromosome 1 in chickens, which in birds is involved in so called autosomal dwarfism. The most likely candidate gene has a homolog in mice and men and is called HMGI-c. The sequence of the cDNA and genomic DNA of the gene is provided, as well as uses of said sequence or parts or derivatives thereof, as well as methods of using sequences from this gene or flanking sequences, or microsatellite markers in close vicinity to this gene in methods for selecting for one of the two alleles of this gene. Specifically provided are breeding methods using discrimination between dwarf fenotypes and non dwarf fenotypes, which are a result of the allele variation within this gene.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1999Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: Nutreco Nederland B.V.Inventors: Martinus Antonius Mathilda Groenen, Gerardus Antonius Arnoldus Albers
