Abstract: A nutrient formulation including moisture, a coloring agent, a palatability modifier, and/or an adjuvant which is designed for use in poultry and other animals, and a method of feeding it which improves subsequent livability, cumulative feed efficiency, weight gain, and resistance to disease challenge or other stresses is disclosed.

Abstract: A nutrient formulation including moisture which is designed for use in poultry and other animals, and a method of feeding it which improves subsequent livability, cumulative feed efficiency and weight gain is disclosed. The method comprises making available for consumption ad libitum a high moisture material containing at least about 20% by weight water to the poultry or other animals before they are offered dry food ad libitum.

Abstract: A nutrient formulation including moisture which is designed for use in very young poultry, and a method of feeding it which improves subsequent livability, cumulative feed efficiency and weight gain is disclosed. The method includes feeding a high moisture solid containing at least about 20% by weight water to the poultry before the poultry is allowed to eat dry food ad libitum.

Abstract: The process for removing residual meat from whole raw bones from which the major portion of the meat has already been removed comprises the steps of tumbling a new batch of bones in a brine solution used in processing a previous batch of bones for a predetermined period of time and below the temperature at which the residual meat is cooked to abrade the residual meat from the new batch of bones to form a raw meat slurry, removing the slurry produced as an end product of the process, tumbling the previously tumbled bones in a fresh brine solution for a predetermined period of time and below that temperature at which the residual meat is cooked to abrade any remaining portion of the residual meat from the previously tumbled batch of bones, removing cleaned bones from the tumbled fresh brine solution, replacing the removed cleaned bones with a fresh batch of bones, and repeating the above process steps.
