Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of treating or preventing bacterial infection in an animal comprises administering an effective amount of degraded date pits. Degraded date pits can be produced by the treatment of date pits with fungi.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition for use as an antibacterial feed additive in treating a bacterial infection in an animal subject in need thereof, wherein the Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition is prepared through solid state degradation, and the bacterial infection is caused by at least one of Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Shigella spp., and Escherichia coli. 2. The antibacterial feed additive according to claim 1 , wherein the Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition comprises mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS). 3. The antibacterial feed additive according to claim 1 , wherein the Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition comprises free mannose. 4. The antibacterial feed additive according to claim 1 , wherein the antibacterial feed additive is in the form of a powder. 5. An antibacterial feed composition for use in treating a bacterial infection in an animal subject in need thereof, the antibacterial feed composition comprising 5-20% w/w of a Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition mixed with an animal feed composition, wherein the Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition is prepared through solid state degradation, and the bacterial infection is caused by at least one of Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Shigella spp. and Escherichia coli. 6. The antibacterial feed composition according to claim 5 comprising approximately 10% w/w of the Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition relative to the animal feed composition. 7. The antibacterial feed composition according to claim 5 , wherein the animal feed composition comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of corn, soybean meal, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, corn oil and fish meal. 8. The antibacterial feed composition according to claim 5 , wherein the animal subject is selected from the group consisting of cattle, horses, pigs, goats, and poultry. 9. An antibacterial feed additive for animals comprising 5-20% w/w of a Trichoderma reesei -degraded date pit composition which is prepared by degrading date pits with Trichoderma reesei by solid state degradation to provide the antibacterial feed additive with an antibacterial effective amount of the fungi-degraded date pit composition.
