Abstract: A novel recombinant antimicrobial multidomain polypeptide in an aggregated and functional format is provided. The antimicrobial multidomain polypeptide comprises at least three peptidic domains: a) a non-enzymatic antimicrobial peptidic domain from mammal's immune system, b) a bacterial binding peptidic domain which interacts with the bacterial cell wall or membrane, and c) an enzymatic antimicrobial peptidic domain from mammal's immune system. The antimicrobial multidomain polypeptide exhibits a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect and is produced in an efficient production system, i.e in form of inclusion bodies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of naringin, its aglycone form naringenin or mixtures thereof in the modulation of the expression of some specific gene receptors in ruminants and/or pigs which positively impact on feeding behaviour, intake patterns and animal behaviour.

Abstract: Use of a nutritional supplement for increasing the bacterial mass in the rumen of a ruminant. The nutritional supplement includes proteins with a degree of hydrolysis above 28% and has more than 23 mg ?-amino nitrogen per gram of protein. The hydrolyzed proteins are preferably hemoglobin.

Abstract: A nutritional supplement, a method for increasing the bacterial mass in the rumen of a ruminant and a nutritional preparation and corresponding uses. A nutritional supplement including proteins with a degree of hydrolysis above 28% and/or which have more than 23 mg ?-amino nitrogen per gram of protein and/or have more than 10% of free amino acids. The hydrolyzed proteins are animal proteins, preferably hemoglobin. The supplement is supplied orally, included in a nutritional preparation, in liquid, concentrated or dehydrated form.
