Abstract: The present invention relates to a preferably computer-implemented method of raising a group of monogastric animals Issues such as exposure of the animals to an initiator of a disease are recognized at an early stage by ex vivo analysis of blood samples. Said analysis is done where the animals are raised using point-of-care devices. Accuracy of separation between affected and non-affected animals is increased by measuring a set of pre-determined blood parameters. The landless monogastric animal production system of the invention facilitates implementation of the method of the invention.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of feeding animals by providing feed additives that modulate the gut microbiome to improve the health, nutrition, and growth performance. The present disclosure further relates to methods of modulating the microbial species present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. Such modulation includes, for example, modulating the level or function of microbial species.

Abstract: Various benefits to intestinal health are made by delivery of an active agent to the colon of an animal, including a human. Active ingredients include of riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, folic acid, ?-carotene, vitamin B1, niacin, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, biotin, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids and combinations thereof. Benefits include increased concentration of at least one short-chain fatty acid its salt thereof in the intestine, increased microbiome diversity in the intestine, increased beneficial bacteria in the intestine, increased the butyrate synthesis pathway in the intestine, improved barrier function of the intestine, reduced redox potential of the gut, reduced amount of gas produced in the intestine; and stimulation of intestinal immune responses.

Abstract: Novel superoxide dismutases of fungal origin are active, gastric stable and thermal stable, and effective for use in animal feed additives. The use of superoxide dismutase in animal feed improve animal growth, animal health and intestinal health of animals.

Abstract: Novel polypeptides of fungal origin with catalase active are active, gastric stable and thermal stable, and effective for use in animal feed additives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and/or an animal feed comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and polypeptides having xylanase activity and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of improving flock uniformity and/or meat quality of a monogastric animal comprising administering to the animal a composition, an animal feed or an animal feed additive comprising one or more microbial muramidases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of improving litter quality and/or reducing footpad dermatitis of a monogastric animal comprising administering to the animal a composition, an animal feed or an animal feed additive comprising one or more microbial muramidases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to animal feed compositions comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and carotenoids and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition and/or an animal feed comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of feeding animals by providing feed additives that modulate the gut microbiome to prevent or treat dysfunctions in a gastrointestinal barrier. The present disclosure further relates to methods of feeding animals by providing feed additives that modulate the gut microbiome to prevent or treat infections.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of feeding animals by providing feed additives that modulate the gut microbiome to improve the health, nutrition, and growth performance. The present disclosure further relates to methods of modulating the microbial species present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal. Such modulation includes, for example, modulating the level or function of microbial species.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of improving pigmentation by carotenoids in a monogastric animal comprising administering to the animal an animal feed or animal feed additive comprising one or more microbial muramidases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and/or an animal feed comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and essential oils and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and/or an animal feed comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and polypeptides having protease activity and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to animal feed compositions comprising at least one probiotic and polypeptides having muramidase activity.

Abstract: It has been found that administering probiotic Bacillus strains to animals improves vitamin E absorption. Thus, probiotic Bacillus strains can be used when animals are stressed, e.g. during weaning. The present invention relates to a Bacillus strain as a feed additive, which is useful for improving vitamin E absorption in animals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to animal feed compositions comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and polypeptides having xylanase activity and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to animal feed compositions comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and uses thereof. In the Examples it is shown that feeding muramidase to broiler chicken increased apparent ileal digestibility of crude protein and crude fat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to animal feed compositions comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and uses thereof. Feeding broilers with feed comprising muramidase resulted in a dose-dependent increase of blood carotenoids. Administration of the supplemented feed could likewise increase blood levels of zeaxanthin, lutein, vitamin A, vitamin E and sialic acid.
