Abstract: The present invention describes the agricultural and/or forestry use of a mixture comprising: glycerol 5-90%, and glycerides of one or more organic acids 10-95% where the % are by weight with respect to the total mixture; wherein said mixture is used as a phytostimulating agent to promote the germination of seeds and/or as a fungicide/pesticide to protect seeds and/or crops against pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract: Described are antibacterial and anti-mould compositions containing high amounts of C1 to C7 organic acid mono-glycerides and glycerol, their preparation and their use in animal feedstuffs.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production and/or use of mixtures of monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides of fatty acids from C1 to C22 to administer to livestock and pets, in order to improve performances and the health of the intestine. The glycerides are produced by the reaction of glycerol with mixtures of fatty acids from C1 to C22 or by the reaction of glycerol with mixtures of fatty acids from C1 to C22 and/or vegetable oils and/or animal fats. In one embodiment, a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 100% of butyric acid is provided.
