Disclosed are uses of at least one alpha-1,4/1,6-glycoside hydrolase (GLCH) as a feed additive for a ruminant wherein said hydrolase: (a) has at least 20% activity at pH less than or equal to 3 in the presence of pepsin as compared to activity of the hydrolase at pH 6 in the presence of pepsin, (b) said hydrolase is active in at least two of three digestive chambers of a ruminant comprising a rumen, an abomasum and a small intestine and (c) the hydrolase works with pancreatic amylase to increase glucose yield.

Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions comprising oxygen tolerant strains of Megasphaera elsdenii and methods of making and using the same to promote improvement of one or more metrics in an animal, such as increased bodyweight/carcass gain, increased feed intake, decreased feed conversion ratio (FCR), decreased medical costs, decreased transition period, decrease use of antibiotics, and reduced mortality.

Provided herein, inter alia, are methods for measuring and assessing intestinal health in poultry. The disclosed metabolic biomarkers and associated methods for identifying and quantifying the same are reliable, rapid and, in some embodiments, non-invasive, and can be used to provide information with respect to the gut health of poultry, such as chickens.

Use of high acyl gellan in whipping cream.

This invention relates to bacterial strains of the genus Lactiplantibacillus or a mixture thereof for use in preventing and/or treating a nervous system disease in a subject in need thereof. This invention also relates to compositions comprising bacterial strain of the genus Lactiplantibacillus or a mixture thereof for use in preventing and/or treating a nervous system disease in a subject in need thereof.

The invention relates to a polynucleotide comprising a lacZ gene (lacZ FS ) encoding a β-galactosidase characterized by a particular profile regarding its efficiency of hydrolysis of lactose. The invention is also directed to a Streptococcus thermophilus strain comprising a lacZ FS allele and bacterial composition thereof, and their use to obtain fermented milk not undergoing post-acidification.

The invention relates to a bacterium of the species Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (formerly known as Lactobacillus paracasei ) and compositions comprising a bacterium of the species Lacticaseibacillus paracasei for use in alleviating the psychological and/or physiological response to psychosocial and/or psychological stress and promoting mental and overall well-being, in a mammal. The invention further relates to bacterium of the species Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and compositions comprising a bacterium of the species Lacticaseibacillus paracasei for use in preventing and/or treating a symptom affecting mental health and promoting mental and overall well-being, in a mammal. The invention further relates to methods and uses of said bacterium and/or compositions.

Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions of organic acid-producing microorganisms and methods of making and using the same to inhibit pathogenic bacterial populations in the gastrointestinal tracts of an animal and additionally promote improvement of one or more metrics in an animal, such as increased bodyweight gain, decreased feed conversion ratio (FCR), improved gut barrier integrity, reduced mortality, reduced pathogen infection, and reduced pathogen shedding in feces.

The present invention relates to a whipping agent comprising protein and emulsifier for aerated food products, such as for sorbet and sherbet applications. The present invention also relates to whipped food products such as sorbets and sherbets comprising this whipping agent and a method for making the same. The present invention also relates to complexes between a protein and an emulsifier, use thereof and a method for producing the complexes.
