Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to the use of a food additive comprising at least one phytonutrient in order to stimulate vaccine immunity against apicomplexa in non-human monogastric animals, such as poultry or pigs, or in ruminants, such as a cattle, sheep or goats.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of stimulating vaccine immunity against apicomplexa comprising administering a feed additive comprising at least one phytonutrient to a non-human animal so as to stimulate vaccine immunity against apicomplexa in the non-human animal, wherein the at least one phytonutrient is chosen from the group consisting of carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, capsicum , curcumin and mixtures of two or more of these compounds, and wherein the vaccine immunity is obtained by means of a vaccine. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feed additive comprises carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and capsicum oleoresin. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feed additive comprises curcuma and capsicum oleoresin. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feed additive is present in a feed or in a drinking water of the animal. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a concentration of the at least one phytonutrient is between 1 and 50 mg per kilogram of feed intake or between 0.5 and 20 mg per liter of drinking water. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feed additive is in the form of powder, of granules or of tablets. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the animal is a monogastric animal. 8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the animal is a poultry. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the animal continuously ingests the feed additive. 10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vaccine is derived from recombinant protein. 11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the vaccine derived from recombinant protein is a profilin-based vaccine. 12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , comprising stimulating vaccine immunity against coccidiosis caused by apicomplexa. 13. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the feed additive is present in a feed or in a drinking water of the animal. 14. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a concentration of the at least one phytonutrient is between 1 and 50 mg per kilogram of the feed or between 0.5 and 20 mg per liter of the drinking water. 15. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the feed additive is in the form of powder, of granules or of tablets. 16. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the feed additive is present in a feed or in a drinking water of the animal. 17. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a concentration of the at least one phytonutrient is between 1 and 50 mg per kilogram of the feed or between 0.5 and 20 mg per liter of the drinking water. 18. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the feed additive is in the form of powder, of granules or of tablets. 19. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-human animals are vaccinated when the non-human animals are 1 day old. 20. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-human animals are vaccinated when the non-human animals are 7 days old.
