Combination and/or composition comprising bacillus, and yucca, quillaja, or both and a method for using and making
View Patent ↗The present disclosure concerns embodiments of a combination and/or composition comprising bacillus , and yucca, quillaja or both. Embodiments of methods of making and using the combination and/or composition also are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the combination and/or composition may be used to improve feed conversion rates in animals. In some embodiments the animals are avians; in other embodiments, the animals are non-avians. Embodiments of the disclosed combination can comprise a first composition comprising Quillaja saponaria, Yucca schidigera , or both, and Bacillus coagulans . Embodiments of the disclosed composition can comprise Quillaja saponaria, Yucca schidigera , or both, and Bacillus coagulans.
1. A combination for administration to an avian, comprising
a first composition comprising Quillaja saponaria plant material and Yucca schidigera plant material; and
a second composition comprising Bacillus coagulans;
wherein the first composition and the second composition are present in the combination in a ratio of from 2 to 6 ounces of the first composition to from 7 to 8 grams of the second composition.
2. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the first composition and the second composition are admixed with an avian feedstuff to form a feedstuff admixture.
3. A composition for administration to an avian, comprising Quillaja saponaria plant material, Yucca schidigera plant material and Bacillus coagulans;
wherein the composition comprises the Quillaja saponaria plant material, the Yucca schidigera plant material and the Bacillus coagulans in a ratio of from 2 to 6 ounces in total of the Quillaja saponaria plant material and the Yucca schidigera plant material to from 7 to 8 grams of the Bacillus coagulans.
4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the composition further comprises a feedstuff.
5. The composition of claim 3 , further comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone, tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate, pregelatinized starch, carboxymethylcellulose, or a combination thereof.
6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the composition comprises from 2 to 6 ounces of Quillaja saponaria plant material and Yucca schidigera plant material per ton of feedstuff and from 7 to 8 grams of Bacillus coagulans per ton of feedstuff.
7. A composition for lowering a feed conversion rate of an avian, the composition comprising:
an avian feedstuff comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone, tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate, pregelatinized starch, carboxymethylcellulose, or a combination thereof;
from 2 to 6 ounces Quillaja saponaria plant material and Yucca schidigera plant material per ton of feedstuff; and
from 7 to 8 grams of Bacillus coagulans per ton of feedstuff;
wherein the composition is formulated to lower the feed conversion rate of the avian that is administrated the composition by an amount of from greater than zero to at least 5%, compared to a feed conversion rate of an avian that is not fed the composition.
8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the avian is a chicken.
9. A method for lowering a feed conversion rate in an avian, comprising administering to the avian the combination of claim 1 .
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the feed conversion rate is lowered by an amount of from greater than 0 to at least 5%, compared to an avian that is not administered the combination.
11. The method of claim 9 , comprising:
providing the first composition comprising Yucca schidigera plant material and Quillaja saponaria plant material;
providing the second composition comprising Bacillus coagulans;
combining the first and second compositions to form a third composition; and
administering the third composition to the avian.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising mixing the third composition with a feedstuff.
13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising combining the combination of Yucca schidigera plant material, Quillaja saponaria plant material and Bacillus coagulans with a feedstuff.
14. The method of claim 9 , comprising:
providing the first composition comprising Yucca schidigera plant material and Quillaja saponaria plant material;
providing the second composition comprising Bacillus coagulans;
providing a feedstuff; and
combining the first composition, the second composition and the feedstuff.
