Additives can be provided, for example, farm animals in addition to standard feed or as a food composition. Such an additive is especially useful for aquaculture and demonstrates the ability to increase animal growth rates, reduce the susceptibility of animals to parasitic infections and / or improve the environmental impact of fecal animal waste. The invention also encompasses methods for producing a composition containing a biologically active food supplement, as well as its use. |
