  • TREATMENT OF POULTRY OR PIGS FOR REDUCING THE FEED CONVERSION RATIO OR INCREASING THEIR BODYWEIGHT GAIN
    Publication number: 20210244049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of poultry or pigs, including non-therapeutic treatment of poultry or pigs. The treatment comprises orally administering at least one cellulose ester polymer to poultry or pigs in an amount between 0.1 and 10 kg/ton of dry weight of a feed, wherein more than 50% moles of recurring units of the (CE) polymer are recurring units (RCE) of formula (I) as shown below: wherein each of R, equal to or different from each other, is H or an acyl group of general formula —(C?O)—R1 wherein R1 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and wherein the (CE) polymer has a total acyl group content [TAG content, herein after] of at least 5 weight percent (wt. %), relative to the total weight of the (CE) polymer.

  • CELLULOSE ESTER MATERIALS WITH TUNABLE DEGRADATION CHARACTERISTICS
    Publication number: 20170088698
    Abstract: Degradable materials are provided that may be utilized in various wellbore treatment fluids, such as hydraulic fracturing fluids. In particular, the degradable materials can be formed from cellulose esters that are capable of effectively degrading at specific rates when exposed to the aqueous environments commonly found in wellbores. More particularly, the degradable materials can be in the form of degradable fibers that are formed from the cellulose esters described herein.
