Definitions

• the present invention concerns means for improving the environment and state of health of animals and farm hands for example in hog confinements and horse stables and for keeping hogs and horses and other animals as well as human beings, for example animal handlers, in good health.
• saponines particularly sarsaponines which have been extracted from the Yucca Schidigera plant (a desert palm tree which grows in Mexico and Southern Califor ⁇ nia) are added to animal feed in the form of a powder or in a solution the content of ammonium gas and sulphuric gas in the stable air can be effectively reduced and the consistency and homogeneity of the manure can be improved to a substantial degree and also that unpleasant odours for most animal species can be reduced.
• the saponine powder may appropriately be administered in a quantity of between approximately 9 grams and 100 grams per ton feed, preferably approximately 18-35 grams per ton, well mixed into the completed feed, but other quantities may also be possible.
• Garlic and garlic powder have long been recognized as providing health to animals and human beings.
• the garlic is attributed good properties against colds and infections and is effective against coughs, bronchitis, asthma and stomach problems.
• Garlic contains allicine which is a virus killer and bacteria killer.
• Garlic powder (garlic concentrate) is administered in doses of between approximately 1 gram and 1000 grams, preferably approximately 1 gram, per slaughterhog and day, based on an average weight of 65 kilos, but other quantities may also be possible.
• garlic granulate or raw garlic can be used in the same or other appropriate quantities.
• a mixture - preprepared if desired - a so-called premix - consisting on the one hand of one or more powdery or liquid saponines, particularly sarsaponines, of natural or synthetic origin and on the other hand of garlic powder in solid or liquid form or garlic granulate or fresh garlic or allicine of synthetic origin be provided for being mixed into all kinds of feed in the quantities mentioned above so that the relevant animals receive appropriate proportions, wherein for providing an appropriate, easily handled premix and to faci ⁇ litate homogeneous intermixing, as an appropriate amount for the quantity of a completed mixture of saponine and garlic powder, between approximately 1 kilo and 5 kilos, preferably approximately 1 kilo, of the completed saponine/garlic powder mixture is blended in per ton completed feed.
• mixture of saponine and garlic powder can be blended with an appropriate bulk product, for example feed calcium or flour, if desired with the addition of vitamins or other ingredients, in order to facilitate blending on the farm.
• an appropriate bulk product for example feed calcium or flour
