Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising: malt extract including a plurality of enzymatically active enzymes including at least fructanase and amylase; one or more medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and/or at least one biologically acceptable metal component and use of those compositions as veterinary and human medicaments.

Abstract: The invention concerns the improvement of metabolic and digestive health of humans by providing diagnostic methods for enterometabolic disorders such as IBS and IBD and/or the treatment of IBS and IBD by compositions comprising enzyme rich malt extract (ERME).

Abstract: This invention relates to a feed additive for use in, amongst other things, improving energy utilisation originating from feed for an avian granivore, the feed additive comprising a malt extract comprising one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of amylases, maltases, cellulases, fructanases, glucanases, xylanases and deacetylases.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and assay for qualifying equine laminitis disease status in a subject by measuring specific biomarkers, comparing the level of said biomarker to a control level; and correlating the measurement with laminitis disease status, wherein a statistically relevant elevated level of said biomarker is present in said sample relative to said control level. The invention further relates to immuno-based methods and assays for detecting toxins relevant to laminitis and to the use of antibodies for assay and diagnostic purposes.
