Abstract: Processes for producing an oxazaborolidines and their use in animal feeds. One process reacts an amino alcohol with a boronic acid with azeotropic removal of water to provide a mixture of the starting materials and an oxazaborolidine end product; and purifying the oxazaborolidine end product. One purification step dissolves a bicarboxylic acid in water and mixes this solution with the end product to precipitate out the starting material as a salt and produce an oxazaborolidine product filtrate. An alternative process reacts amino alcohol with trihydridoboron (BH3) in an organic solvent; and immediately alkylates the unalkylated intermediate compound produced using Alkyl Lithium to provide the oxazaborolidine end product.

Abstract: Use of a sophorolipid in the preparation of a feed supplement for the improvement of feed efficiency in an animal. A feed supplement comprising a sophorolipid and lysolecithin mix is also provided for improving the feed conversion rate of an animal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the autoinducer compounds, such as acyl homoserine lactones, acyl homocysteine lactone, acyl thiolactones, furanones or signal peptides, and their use in animal feed additives and animal feeds to improve animal performance.
