First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of improving weight gain, preventing diarrhea and/or improving feed efficiency in calves of less than two months of age comprising administering to said calves of less than two months of age a composition comprising one or more Faecalibacterium spp. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said Faecalibacterium spp. is Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises one or more Faecalibacterium spp. in an amount effective to improve weight gain in said calves of less than two months of age. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises one or more Faecalibacterium spp. in an amount effective to provide prophylaxis against diarrhea in said calves of less than two months of age. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises one or more Faecalibacterium spp. in an amount effective to improve feed efficiency in said calves of less than two months of age. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition is formulated as a powder, bolus, gel, drench, or capsule. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition is provided as part of a milk replacer. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition is coadministered with at least a second probiotic organism selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. lactis, L. plantarum, L. casei, Bacillus subtilis, B. lichenformis, Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium bifidum, B. longum, B. thermophilum, Propionibacterium jensenii , yeast, and combinations thereof. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition is formulated with an additional additive selected from the group consisting of an energy substrate, a mineral, a vitamin, and combinations thereof. 10. A method of improving weight gain and/or improving feed efficiency in calves of less than two months of age comprising administering to said calves of less than two months of age a composition comprising one or more Faecalibacterium spp. 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein said Faecalibacterium spp. is Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. 12. The method of claim 10 , wherein said composition comprises one or more Faecalibacterium spp. in an amount effective to improve weight gain in said calves of less than two months of age. 13. The method of claim 10 , wherein said composition comprises one or more Faecalibacterium spp. in an amount effective to improve feed efficiency in said calves of less than two months of age. 14. The method of claim 10 , wherein said composition is formulated as a powder, bolus, gel, drench, or capsule. 15. The method of claim 10 , wherein said composition is provided as part of a milk replacer. 16. The method of claim 10 , wherein said composition is coadministered with at least a second probiotic organism selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. lactis, L. plantarum, L. casei, Bacillus subtilis, B. lichenformis, Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium bifidum, B. longum, B. thermophilum, Propionibacterium jensenii , yeast, and combinations thereof. 17. The method of claim 10 , wherein said composition is formulated with an additional additive selected from the group consisting of an energy substrate, a mineral, a vitamin, and combinations thereof.
