Abstract: The present invention refers to a chewable and/or edible product for pets and other animals, especially for companion animals, mainly composed of a fibrous collagenous matrix, formed into any shape or design. This product is natural and harmless, and its water content is such that it can be supplied to the animal as a dry, semi-wet or wet product with the desired texture, according to the specific habits and preferences of a wide range of animals. This product, as well as stimulating the chewing activity in the animal, also functions as a vehicle to administer water or nutritive, preventive or therapeutic substances to the animal. The invention also refers to the use of fibrous collagen to prepare this product, and a fibrous collagen matrix formed in any shape or three-dimensional design. Finally, the invention refers to a method to manufacture this product.

Abstract: The current invention involves a universal fishing bait fundamentally comprised of a cord body of filaments or strips of fibrous collagen made up into any shape or design capable of attracting fish, that is 100% biodegradable and that furthermore has a good capacity to diffuse and liberate attractant substances. The bait invented presents excellent mechanical properties in terms of resistance to breakage and resistance to tearing, is easily manipulated, transported and stored. Similarly, the invention provides for the use of fibrous collagen in the preparation of said universal fishing bait.

Abstract: The current invention involves a universal fishing bait fundamentally comprised of a matrix of fibrous collagen made up into any shape or design capable of attracting fish, that is 100% biodegradable and innocuous, that has physico-chemical properties that confer it with the capacity to accommodate liberate and diffuse attractant substances, and whose physico-mechanical properties confer it a soft and flexible texture, as well as making it resistant to breakage. Likewise, the invention outlines a procedure to prepare such a bait, and a precursor paste employed in the preparation, as well as the use of fibrous collagen in the preparation of said universal fishing bait.
