Health-Promoting Animal Feed and Human Nutritional Supplement Containing Mesobiliverdin from Microalgal Feed Stock

Benefit

Intestinal Inflammatory Disease (IBD) causes inflammation in the intestines and digestive tract. This negatively affects animals because it hinders their ability to absorb the nutrients from the food they are eating and can lead to further health problems. Aggie Feed contains a component called Mesobiliverdin (MBV), which seeks to solve this problem by acting as a probiotic to prevent and/or treat IBD and colitis to improve the nutrition and health of animals. It acts as both an anti-inflammatory agent and calcium supplement to better help the animal to process and absorb the nutrients from the food that it is eating. Since it is natural in composition, Aggie Feed is safer than other leading drugs on the market used to treat IBD.

Market Application

Markets for this technology include those that sell antibiotics, probiotics, and feed supplements used to treat/prevent IBD and colitis. Feed companies seeking to implement safe, cost-effective, and natural components into their products could mix it into their feed as a supplement. Farmers and ranchers could also use it as a supplement to feed their animals by mixing it into their food.
