Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to methods of controlling the growth of microorganisms in animals and animal feed. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of controlling the growth of microorganisms in animals with an antimicrobial composition, the treatment of animal feed with an antimicrobial additive and antimicrobial compositions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of controlling the growth of microorganisms in an animal comprising feeding the animal with an antimicrobial composition comprising a lactose oxidase and a vanadium haloperoxidase. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the vanadium haloperoxidase and the lactose oxidase are gastric stable. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of lactose oxidase is in the range of 0.01-200 ppm enzyme protein per kg feed. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of vanadium haloperoxidase is in the range of 0.01-200 ppm enzyme protein per kg feed. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antimicrobial composition is a component of animal feed. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the growth of microorganism occurs in the gut of the animal. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the microorganism is a type of bacterium. 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the bacterium is selected from the group consisting of Campylobacter, Clostridium, Escherichia, Listeria , and Salmonella. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises one or more additional compounds selected from the group consisting of forage, concentrates, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and other feed ingredients. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition does not contain lactoferrin. 11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said antimicrobial composition kills at least 90% of the number of bacterium. 12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the bacterium is E. Coli.
