Abstract: Proposed is a formed meat composition comprising additives, a process for producing a formed meat slug and a combined meat/formed meat slug. It is a disadvantage of established dried formed meat compositions that they require stabilizing desiccants and/or have an unnatural, open-pored fine structure. The novel solution proposed is a formed meat composition which, in addition to prey animal meat, glycerol and salt, merely contains additives in the form of prey animal nutriment. Also proposed is a process for producing a formed meat slug in which a common comminution of meat and additives in a manner modelled on hunting is carried out. Finally proposed is a combined meat/formed meat slug which comprises in its primary constituents only animal meat ingredients and the recited additives. The claimed subject matter provides the particular advantage that, despite additives, a denser, more stable and closed fine structure is achieved.

Abstract: Feed additive including sodium carbonate feed additive polyphenol particles can be fed to animals to reduce methane or carbon dioxide emission. The feed additive polyphenol particles can be prepared by reacting phenols with sodium percarbonate (2Na2CO3.3H2O2) in a solution of water, a peroxidase and a dispersing agent. The sodium percarbonate can be dissolved in the water solution to generate sodium and carbonate ions, which can be incorporated to the polyphenol particles for assisting the animals in digesting the feed additive. The dispersing agent can be used to limit the sizes of the particles to facilitate the consumption of the feed additive by the animals.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of application of microbial secondary metabolites, and particularly relates to novel use of prodigiosin in resisting potato virus Y. Application of prodigiosin in preparing a medicine for preventing and controlling potato virus Y. The medicine for preventing and controlling the potyvirus is a liquid or solid preparation containing prodigiosin. It is clarified that PVY promotes its own replication and infection by recruiting host factor Hsp70 in the process of infecting the host, realizing virus infection and spread. Hsp70 plays an important role in the infection and replication of plant viruses. Based on the above results, it is further clarified that prodigiosin treatment can significantly increase the ubiquitination level of the plant host, promote the ubiquitination of HSP70 protein of the host, degrade or inhibit the expression of Hsp70 protein, activate the natural immune activity of the host plant.
