Abstract: An additive for animal feed which includes sodium percarbonate. The sodium percarbonate may be in solid form. The invention also includes an animal feed that includes nutritional material and sodium percarbonate. In various forms of the invention the sodium percarbonate constitutes at least 1 percent or at least 2 percent by weight of the entire weight of the animal feed. The animal feed may be in pellet form and the sodium percarbonate may be present in substantially all of the pellets. In some embodiments of the invention the sodium percarbonate constitutes less than 8 percent by weight of the entire weight of said animal feed. Some embodiments of the animal feed in accordance with a present invention do not include any mammalian animal proteins.

Abstract: A method for control of insects on plant tissue which includes applying a solution tht includes hydrogen peroxide to the plant tissue. The hydrogen peroxide solution has a concentration of between 0.05 to 3.00%. In some cases the hydrogen peroxide solution has a concentration of between 0.05 and 1.5%. Some forms of the invention may utilize a hydrogen peroxide solution that further includes an acid selected from the group consisting of acetic acid and phosphoric acid. Various structures are used for applying the hydrogen peroxide solution such as hydraulic spraying, misting, fogging, or injecting the hydrogen peroxide into a commercial cooling system. In some cases the hydrogen peroxide solution is applied to the plant tissue at a variety of stages in the plant production cycle. Other application of the invention include applying misting the hydrogen peroxide solution over terminal stem cuttings until they reach root sufficiency.

Abstract: A method of fumigation which will destroy microorganisms in the environment of hatching and newly hatched poultry whereby a disinfecting solution such as hydrogen peroxide is applied into the environment by a microaerosol. The method significantly reduces the level of microorganisms in the environment and reduces the risk of post hatch transfer of potentially disease causing microorganisms, without adversely affecting the viability of the newly hatched poultry.

Abstract: A method for control of horticulture diseases and decontamination of plant tissue which includes applying a solution of hydrogen peroxide to plant tissue, said hydrogen peroxide being a solution having a concentration of between 0.05 to 3.00%. In some cases the hydrogen peroxide solution has a concentration of between 0.05 and 1.5%. Some forms of the invention may utilize a hydrogen peroxide solution that further includes an acid selected from the group consisting of acetic acid and phosphoric acid. Various structures are used for applying the hydrogen peroxide solution such as hydraulic spraying, misting, fogging, or injecting the hydrogen peroxide into a commercial cooling system. In other cases the hydrogen peroxide solution is injected into a recirculating subirrigation nutrient system solution to control microbial growth in the irrigation water. In some cases the hydrogen peroxide solution is applied to the plant tissue at a variety of stages in the plant production cycle.
