Abstract: The invention relates to a feed additive comprising at least one nutrient, which non-nutrient is incorporated in a matrix, the entirety being encapsulated by a coating comprising at least a plant material whose saponification number is greater than 180. The invention also deals with a method for preparing a feed additive. Finally, the invention also relates to the use of the feed additive to improve the zootechnical performance of a ruminant.

Abstract: The invention relates to an organometallic complex of the amino acid/metal type. The complex is a crystalline pluri-metal complex that can be obtained in the form of a homogeneous powder that can be used to optimise animal feed. More specifically, the invention relates to an organometallic complex that is characterised in that it is formed by at least one amino acid or amino acid derivative with at least two different metals. The invention also relates to a powder comprising the organometallic complex of the invention, as well as to methods for preparing such a powder.

Abstract: The invention relates to elemental selenium nanoparticles, especially a product containing selenium nanoparticles, that can be produced from at least one organic compound and at least one selenium source, with a step of drying by atomisation. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a product and to a method for enriching, with elemental selenium nanoparticles, a product which already comprises elemental selenium nanoparticles.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least one dialkyl thiosulfonate or thiosulfinate in order to reduce the number of apicomplexa, such as coccidioides and, in particular, Eimeria, in monogastric animals, such as poultry or pigs, or ruminants, such as cattle, sheep or goats.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food additive including: 30 to 45% of eugenol; 30 to 45% of cinnamaldehyde; 10 to 40% of extract of a plant belonging to the alliaceous family; the remainder up to 100% optionally comprising other compounds, in particular, organosulphur compounds. Such an additive can be added to the feed for certain animals, in particular bovines, with a view to reducing the methane production thereof. The invention also relates to a method for reducing methane emissions into the earth's atmosphere, which includes the following steps: adding a food additive according to the invention to the food ration of a ruminant; and feeding the ruminant the obtained food ration.

Abstract: The invention relates to an additive, particularly for promoting food intake and the growth of animals such as piglets. Said additive is in the form of granules, each including: a core that includes at least one compound selected from taste modifiers, taste enhancers, and flavors; and a coating that includes at least two flavors. The invention also relates to a method for preparing such an additive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food additive that includes, relative to the total weight thereof: about 3.5 wt % of capsicum oleoresin containing 6 wt % of a capsaicine and dihydrocapsaicine mixture; about 5.5 wt % of cinnamaldehyde; about 9.5 wt % of eugenol; the balance up to 100% consisting of hydrogenated vegetable oils. The invention also relates to the uses of said additive for improving the daily distribution of food ingestion by animals, for increasing the amount of water drunk by animals, or for preparing a food product intended for the preventive or therapeutic treatment of animal digestive disorders, such as acidosis or bloating. This food additive is particularly adapted for ruminants such as bovine cattle.
