Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for the nutrition or drink of a non-human animal comprising the combination of spirulina and Ascophyllum nodosum . It further relates to the use of this composition for improving the zootechnical performance of non-human animals.

Claims (10)

1 . A composition for the nutrition or drink of a ruminant mammal, comprising a combination of spirulina and Ascophyllum nodosum , wherein the spirulina is in the form of a protein hydrolysate and Ascophyllum nodosum is in the form of a polysaccharide extract.

2 . The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the spirulina/Ascophyllum nodosum weight ratio is within the range 0.02-100.

3 . The composition according to claim 1 , which comprises between 0.01 and 0.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of the spirulina.

4 . The composition according to claim 1 , which comprises between 0.05 and 0.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition of Ascophyllum nodosum.

5 . The composition according to claim 1 , which further comprises lithothamnium.

6 . A method for improving the zootechnical performance of a ruminant mammal, comprising administering to a ruminant mammal in need thereof the composition according to claim 1 .

7 . A method for reducing the emission of methane from a ruminant mammal, comprising administering to a ruminant mammal in need thereof the composition according to claim 1 .

8 . A method for increasing the digestibility of the dry matter and fibers and/or for improving the consumption index and/or the dietary efficiency and/or for promoting weight gain and/or for increasing the intensity of fermentation and of microbial metabolism and/or for inhibiting flora protozoa and/or for reducing the degradation of proteins and/or for orienting the fermentation towards the production of volatile fatty acids, in a ruminant mammal, comprising administering to a ruminant mammal in need thereof the composition according to claim 1 .

9 . A method for improving the quality of the meat and/or the growth performance and/or the well-being of a ruminant mammal, comprising administering to a ruminant mammal in need thereof the composition according to claim 1 .

10 . A method for improving the intestinal health and/or the intestinal well-being and/or the immune system and/or the bone mineralization and/or the quality of the bone structure and/or as an antibacterial in a ruminant mammal, comprising administering to a ruminant mammal in need thereof the composition according to claim 1 .
