  • Immunogenic preparation and method for improving the productivity of ruminant animals
    Patent number: 6689354
    Abstract: A method of improving the productivity of a ruminant animal comprising administering to said animal an amount of an immunogenic preparation effective to invoke an immune response to at least one rumen protozoan, such that the immune response invoked at least reduces and preferably totally removes the activity of the at least one rumen protozoan. The invention also provides novel immunogenic preparations which may be used in the method of the invention.

  • Method for determining feed quality
    Patent number: 6166382
    Abstract: A method for determining a biomechanical property of a feed using infrared radiation to obtain spectral data on the feed. The spectral data is used to determine the biomechanical property based on the bond energies of the chemical constituents of the feed.

  • Method for improving utilisation of nutrients by ruminant or ruminant-like animals
    Patent number: 6036950
    Abstract: A method for improving the nutrient uptake of a ruminant or ruminant-like animal comprising inoculating the animal with an immunogenic preparation effective in inhibiting the activity in the gastrointestinal tract of at least one species or strain of Archae. The immunogenic preparation comprises an antigen component prepared from methanogenic bacteria.
