  • Enhancement of development of oviparous species by in ovo feeding of enteric modulators
    Patent number: 8734837
    Abstract: The development and growth of oviparous species such as birds is enhanced by in ovo administration of an enteric modulator such as HMB. The enteric modulator is administered into the amnion, where it is then orally ingested by the subject. The enteric modulator enhances the enteric development of the subject prior to hatch, and enhances the growth of the animal before and after hatch.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2014
    Assignees: North Carolina State University, Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
    Inventors: Zehava Uni, Peter R. Ferket
  • Method and device for determining milk quality
    Publication number: 20070020357
    Abstract: A system for characterizing the nutrient quality of milk including at least one optical analyzer operative to provide output indications of at least two of fat content, protein content and lactose content of milk and a nutrient quality calculator receiving the output indications of at least two of fat content, protein content and lactose content of milk and providing an output indication of nutrient quality based on a combination of the output indications.

  • Enhancement of development of oviparous species by in ovo feeding
    Patent number: 6592878
    Abstract: The development of oviparous species such as birds after hatch is enhanced by feeding a subject prior to hatch. The subject is fed with a nutrient composition and/or an enteric modulator. A preferred nutrient composition contains at least one protein, peptide, amino acid or carbohydrate; a preferred enteric modulator is hydroxymethylbutyrate. Feeding may be accomplished by administering the nutrient composition and/or enteric modulator into the amnion where it is then orally ingested by the subject.
