Abstract: Method for enhancing the bioavailability of orally administered benzoic acid in an animal includes orally administering to the animal an animal feed which comprises benzoic acid prills having neither edges nor spikes, wherein the benzoic acid prills exhibit a rate and/or extent of in vitro dissolution of benzoic acid in a physiologically relevant dissolution fluid which is higher when compared to nonspherical benzoic acid flakes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards the use of 2H-chromens and their derivatives of formula (I) and/or of formula (II) wherein R1 and R2 are independently from each other H or C1-11-alkyl or (CH2)n—OH with n being an integer from 1 to 6 or R1 and R2 together represent a keto group, and wherein R3, R4, R5, and R6 are independently from each other H or C1-6-alkyl or C1-6-alkoxy, and R7 is H or C1-6-alkyl, as antioxidants, especially in feed such as pet food and feed ingredients such as fish meal, insect meal and poultry meal, as well as PUFA-containing oil such as marine oil, microbial oil, fungal oil, algal oil and PUFA-containing plant oil. The present invention is further directed towards feed ingredients and feed for insects, aquatic and terrestrial animals comprising such 2H- chromens and their derivatives of formula (I) and/or of formula (II).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a quick-sinking fish feed in the form of pellets. It has been found that pellets, the diameter of which is <4 mm, have difficulty in sinking, especially in the cold time of the year when the density of water is at its maximum. The reason why the feed does not sink is its low intrinsic weight and the too high surface tension. If the fish does not have time to catch the feed, the pellets will be moved by the waves of the sea through the meshes out into the free water. This problem can be solved by loading or coating the fish feed pellets with an oil comprising at least 10% microbial oil.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards the use of substituted chroman-6-ols with extended lipophilic side chains of formula (I) wherein one of the two substituents R1 and R2 is C12-21-alkyl and the other of the two substituents R1 and R2 is either hydrogen or C1-5-alkyl or (CH2)n—OH with n being an integer from 1 to 5, and wherein A is CH(R3), and wherein R3, R4 and R6 are independently from each other H or C1-4-alkyl, and wherein R5 is H or OH or C1-4-alkyl or C1-4-alkoxy; with the proviso that at least two of R4, R5 and R6 are not methyl, when R3 is H and one of the substituents R1 and R2 is methyl and the other of the two substituents R1 and R2 is C12-21-alkyl, as antioxidants, especially in feed such as pet food and feed ingredients such as fish meal, insect meal and poultry meal, as well as PUFA-containing oil such as marine oil, microbial oil, fungal oil, algal oil and PUFA-containing plant oil.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of benzoic acid prills in the feed industry. Despite of having a reduced surface area/volume ratio, the benzoic acid prills as used in the context of the present invention release benzoic acid faster than benzoic acid flakes. Compositions comprising such prills are useful for balancing the microflora in an animal's gastro-intestinal system, for acidification of feed and/or urine, and/or for reducing digestive disorders of an animal.
