CA 2499992

A method of using hop acids for increasing food and energy uptake from feed by livestock is described which includes delivering the hop acids for oral ingestion to the animals by mixing the acids with livestock feed. The acids are mixed with the feed in an amount to inhibit certain types of undesirable bacteria in the livestock's digestive system, thereby increasing the production of propionate and lactate and decreasing the production of methane gas.

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'acides de houblon dans l'alimentation d'animaux d'élevage pour améliorer leur absorption alimentaire et énergétique. Ce procédé consiste, entre autres, à administrer des acides de houblon auxdits animaux par voie orale, par mélange de ces acides avec les aliments leur étant destinés. La dose d'acides mélangés avec les aliments de ces animaux est déterminée de façon à entraîner l'inhibition de certains types de bactéries indésirables dans le système digestif desdits animaux, ce qui permet d'augmenter la production de propionate et de lactate ainsi que de réduire la production de gaz méthane.
