Definitions
- This invention relates to a non-medical food additive promoting animal growth, supplemented foods containing this additive and a method of improving animal growth.
- “Growth promoter” food additives have been used for a long time to improve zootechnical performances of animals (mammals, birds or fish). These products are obtained either by fermentation or by chemical synthesis or by extraction from plants.
- Growth promoters include clays containing copper such as montmorillonite (flaky clay) have been suggested (Xia et al. 2004 Poultry Science 83: 1868-1875, Xu et al., Asian - Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2003. Vol 16, No. 11: 1673-1679, Xia et al., Asian - Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004. Vol 17, No. 12: 1712-1716 and Hu et al., Asian - Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004. Vol 17, No. 11: 1575-1581).
- the doses necessary to promote growth are very high (1.5 g/kg of food, in other words about 1500 ppm).
- a zeolite exchanged with copper can be used as a growth promoter for animals at doses much less than 1500 ppm.
- this invention relates to a non-medical food additive that is an animal growth promoter containing 99% pure zeolite (in other words a synthetic zeolite) partially or totally exchanged with a C m+ cation with the general formula I below:
- x is greater than 1 and advantageously between 1 and 15, and advantageously between 1 and 10;
- M n+ represents an alkaline or alkaline earth exchangeable ion, advantageously Na + , K + , Ca 2+ or Li + and advantageously Na + ;
- n is between 1 and 2;
- y is the exchange rate and is between 0.001 and 1;
- C m+ is a metallic cation chosen from among copper Cu 2+ , silver Ag + or zinc Zn 2+ , and advantageously chosen from among copper Cu 2+ and silver Ag + ;
- n 1 and 2.
- y is between 0.001 and 0.80, advantageously between 0.01 and 0.80, advantageously between 0.1 and 0.80, advantageously between 0.1 and 0.75 and even more advantageously between 0.1 and 0.5.
- Synthetic zeolites in other words approximately 99% pure zeolites, are crystallised micro porous silicates for which channel and cavity sizes vary between 3 and 13 ⁇ , depending on the structure. They are in the form of a powdery powder, the size of crystals being a few microns on average, and advantageously between 1 and 2 microns.
- x is the Si/Al ratio.
- the parameters that will influence the exchange and therefore the content of C m+ cations after the exchange will be the temperature, the metallic salt concentration in the solution and the solution volume/weight ratio (V/P) of zeolite; time has an influence if equilibrium is not reached.
- the zeolite according to this invention is chosen from among type A zeolite, type X zeolite, type Y zeolite, mordenite, ferrierite, beta zeolite and pentasil type structures.

Description
- This invention relates to a non-medical food additive promoting animal growth, supplemented foods containing this additive and a method of improving animal growth.
- “Growth promoter” food additives have been used for a long time to improve zootechnical performances of animals (mammals, birds or fish). These products are obtained either by fermentation or by chemical synthesis or by extraction from plants.
- Until now, antibiotics were used extensively as growth promoters. However, regulations have changed and have become increasingly strict and antibiotics will no doubt be prohibited in animal food in the near future.
- Some non-medical growth promoters already exist.
- Growth promoters include clays containing copper such as montmorillonite (flaky clay) have been suggested (Xia et al. 2004 Poultry Science 83: 1868-1875, Xu et al., Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2003. Vol 16, No. 11: 1673-1679, Xia et al., Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004. Vol 17, No. 12: 1712-1716 and Hu et al., Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004. Vol 17, No. 11: 1575-1581). However, the doses necessary to promote growth are very high (1.5 g/kg of food, in other words about 1500 ppm).
- This creates a problem in terms of the transport cost of this promoter or the food containing it. Furthermore, the addition of 1500 ppm of inert mineral can induce sequestration of some trace elements. Furthermore, the copper content of the exchanged montmorillonite is 2.45%, which means 36.75 ppm of added copper in the ration, and exceeds the maximum copper content allowable by CEE regulations in food for most species (copper contained in raw materials+added copper).
- Therefore, at the moment there is a real need for a non-medical animal growth promoter that can be active in a small proportion and therefore easily transportable.
- Surprisingly, the inventors have discovered that a zeolite exchanged with copper can be used as a growth promoter for animals at doses much less than 1500 ppm.
- Thus, this invention relates to a non-medical food additive that is an animal growth promoter containing 99% pure zeolite (in other words a synthetic zeolite) partially or totally exchanged with a Cm+ cation with the general formula I below:
-
- in which x is greater than 1 and advantageously between 1 and 15, and advantageously between 1 and 10;
- Mn+ represents an alkaline or alkaline earth exchangeable ion, advantageously Na+, K+, Ca2+ or Li+ and advantageously Na+;
- n is between 1 and 2;
- y is the exchange rate and is between 0.001 and 1;
- Cm+ is a metallic cation chosen from among copper Cu2+, silver Ag+ or zinc Zn2+, and advantageously chosen from among copper Cu2+ and silver Ag+;
- m is between 1 and 2.
- In one advantageous embodiment, y is between 0.001 and 0.80, advantageously between 0.01 and 0.80, advantageously between 0.1 and 0.80, advantageously between 0.1 and 0.75 and even more advantageously between 0.1 and 0.5.
- Synthetic zeolites, in other words approximately 99% pure zeolites, are crystallised micro porous silicates for which channel and cavity sizes vary between 3 and 13 Å, depending on the structure. They are in the form of a powdery powder, the size of crystals being a few microns on average, and advantageously between 1 and 2 microns.
- x is the Si/Al ratio. In the normal state, there is water (capillary condensation) in the pores of a zeolite. Water can be eliminated by increasing the temperature. Due to their tetrahedral structure (chaining of SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedrons with oxygen in common, which leads to a negative charge on each Aluminium (AlO2 −) compensated by a Mn+ cation), the zeolites are cation exchangers in which the Mn+ cation can be replaced (usually Na+ (n=1) after synthesis) by other Cm+ cations. These exchange operations and the manner in which they are controlled are known to those skilled in the art.
- In general, in order to make these exchanges, zeolite is put into suspension while stirring in an aqueous solution of a metallic salt for which it is required to introduce the Cm+ cation (for example Cu++ in the form of a sulphate (m=2)) by exchange in zeolite.
- The exchange reaction is managed by the mass action law. Considering a zeolite in its sodic form (Mn+=Na+) with exchange by a cation C+ (m=1), the reaction is written:
-
Na+ Z −+C+(S)←→C+ Z −+Na+(S) - S: Solution
- Z: Zeolite
- This reaction is in equilibrium and the equilibrium constant Kp depends only on the temperature.
- Due to the equilibrium concept, the exchange is usually incomplete, there is still some Na+ and C+ in the zeolites distributed on the different cationic sites.
- Mn+ can also be exchanged by bivalent cations (for example Cm+═Cu++) or trivalent cations but in this case, 1 Cu++ obviously replaces 2 Na+ if Mn+=Na+ (n=1) and Cm+═Cu++ (m=2).
- The parameters that will influence the exchange and therefore the content of Cm+ cations after the exchange will be the temperature, the metallic salt concentration in the solution and the solution volume/weight ratio (V/P) of zeolite; time has an influence if equilibrium is not reached.
- Advantageously, the zeolite according to this invention is chosen from among type A zeolite, type X zeolite, type Y zeolite, mordenite, ferrierite, beta zeolite and pentasil type structures. Advantageously, it is chosen from among type A zeolite, type X zeolite, type Y zeolite, and advantageously it is a zeolite with a faujasite structure and even better it is type Y zeolite.
- In particular, x=1 for a type A zeolite. Advantageously, type A zeolite is chosen from the group composed of zeolite 3A, 4A or 5A.
- Advantageously, x is equal to 1.25 for type X zeolites. Advantageously, x is equal to 2.6 for a type Y zeolite. Even more advantageously, x is equal to 5.5 for a mordenite. In particular, x is equal to 13.5 for a zeolite with a pentasil type structure. Advantageously, x is equal to 8.8 for a ferrierite.
- Advantageously, the Cm+ metallic cation of the zeolite according to this invention is copper Cu2+.
- In another advantageous embodiment, the zeolite according to this invention is of type Y, the metallic cation Cm+ is copper Cu2+ and the zeolite contains between 1 and 12.5% by weight of copper as a proportion of the total weight of zeolite, advantageously between 3 and 9% and even better between 5 and 6% by weight. Advantageously, the Mn+ ion is Na+.
- In one advantageous embodiment, the zeolite according to this invention is of type Y, the metallic cation Cm+ is silver Ag+ and the zeolite contains between 1 and 33% by weight of silver as a proportion of the total weight of zeolite, advantageously between 10 and 25%, advantageously between 13 and 25% and advantageously about 20%.
- In one particular embodiment of the invention, the zeolite according to this invention is of type Y, the metallic cation Cm+ is zinc Zn2+ and the zeolite contains between 1 and 13% by weight of zinc as a proportion of the total weight of zeolite, preferably between 3 and 8% by weight of zinc as a proportion of the total weight of zeolite, and advantageously about 5% by weight of zinc.
- Advantageously, the food additive according to this invention is for use for feeding farm animals or pets, advantageously chosen from among porcines (particularly pigs), bovines, ovines, goats, poultry (particularly chickens and turkeys), rabbits, fish and birds.
- In most cases and depending on the purpose, the growth promoter is administered to the animals orally. In selecting the individual forms of administration, the specific characteristics of each species and the age of the animals must be taken into account.
- Furthermore, in practice each animal must receive the necessary dose of growth promoter and no inevitable losses must take place.
- Food containing the growth promoter may indifferently be presented in any normal form known in breeding.
- Thus, food may be simple or compound, complete or complementary food (trace elements, enzymes, acidifiers, aromatic substances and aperitives, vitamins, etc.).
- If young animals are always fed by their mother, the growth promoter is preferably injected directly into the throat in the form of a suspension or a solute.
- For calves, the growth promoter may be administered in the form of a milk suspension. It is also possible to add it into drinking water. For animals that already eat solid food, the growth promoter may be mixed with food. Depending on the animal species, this food may be chosen from among cereals, products and by-products; oil bearing seeds and fruit and their products and by-products; leguminous plant seeds and their products and by-products, tubers and roots and their products and by-products; other seeds and fruit and their products and by-products; fodder including roughage; other plants and their products and by-products; dairy products; land animal products; fish and other marine animals, and their products and by-products; minerals; vitamins alone or mixed.
- One preferred form of administration is cubes or granules that, in addition to the growth promoter, contain normal constituents of food of the animal in question, chosen from among cereals, products and by-products; oil bearing seeds and fruit and their products and by-products; leguminous plant seeds and their products and by-products, tubers and roots and their products and by-products; other seeds and fruit and their products and by-products, fodder including roughage; other plants and their products and by-products; dairy products; land animal products; fish and other marine animals, and their products and by-products; minerals; vitamins alone or mixed.
- The composition may be administered to fish in the form of capsules with a diameter of 1 to 7 mm that are insoluble in water at ambient temperature. Another possibility is administration of food granules containing fat in which the growth promoter is insoluble or only slightly soluble.
- Doses of growth promoter used may vary depending on the species, the age, the animal ingestion level and to a certain extent depending on the required effect. The specialist should use systematic tests to determine the optimum dose for each use. Advantageously, within the framework of this invention, the quantity of zeolite present according to this invention is between 5 and 200 ppm as a proportion of the total weight of the food, and advantageously between 5 and 100 ppm, and even better between 5 and 80 ppm, even better between 5 and 20 ppm or equal to approximately 10 mm.
- Advantageously, recommendations for the administration of zeolite according to this invention are 0.8 to 1.2 mg/kg of live weight (PV) ×day for porcines and 0.6 to 0.9 mg/kg PV ×day for poultry.
- Thus, the “growth promoter” food additive according to this invention may be in pure form or it may be mixed with various allowable supports and/or other additives.
- Advantageously, due to the low incorporation rate necessary to obtain the growth promoter effect, the zeolite according to this invention is not incorporated in its existing form into food, but through a premix of additives.
- Therefore, this invention relates to a premix of non-medical growth promoter food additive for animals, characterised in that it contains a food additive according to this invention on a support and/or in combination with at least another animal food additive. This other food additive may be non-medical and/or it may have growth promotion effect (for example acidifiers, vegetable extracts, aromatic substances, growth factors, alone or mixed).
- Therefore, this premix may be:
- (1)—specific: zeolite only according to this invention on an ad hoc support, for example such as cereal by-products, calcium carbonate, corn cobs, other clays, alone or mixed;
- (2)—partially specific: zeolite according to this invention+one or two other additives with effects comparable to those of zeolite, for example such as acidifiers, vegetable extracts, aromatic substances, growth factors alone or mixed, incorporated at doses less than their effective doses, on supports for example such as cereal by-products, calcium carbonate, corn cobs, other clays, alone or mixed;
- (3)—non specific: zeolite according to this invention incorporated into a complete premix containing at least vitamins and trace elements.
- In all cases, the premix is incorporated into the final food distributed to animals advantageously at rates usually varying from 500 g to 5 kg of premix per tonne of food.
- This invention also relates to a supplemented food for animals, containing a food additive according to this invention or a premix according to this invention.
- Advantageously, the supplemented food for animals according to this invention is such that the quantity of zeolite present is 5 to 200 ppm by weight as a proportion of the total weight of the food, advantageously between 5 and 100 ppm, advantageously between 5 and 80 ppm, even better between 5 and 20 ppm, and advantageously equal to about 10 ppm by weight.
- Finally, this invention relates to a method of improving the growth of animals, characterised in that it consists of incorporating a zeolite according to this invention into the food of the said animals, advantageously with a quantity of 5 to 200 ppm by weight as a proportion of the total weight of food, advantageously between 5 and 100 ppm, advantageously between 5 and 80 ppm, even better between 5 and 20 ppm, and advantageously equal to about 10 ppm by weight.
- In one advantageous embodiment, the process according to this invention is such that the zeolite according to this invention is incorporated in the form of a food additive according to this invention or in the form of a premix.
- Advantageously, the animals are chosen from among farm animals or pets, advantageously porcines (particularly pigs), bovines, ovines, goats, poultry (particularly chickens and turkeys), rabbits, fish and birds.
- The beneficial effects of this food additive can be summarised as follows (on mammals, birds and fish):
-
- increase animal growth,
- and/or lower their consumption index (in other words the quantity of food necessary for one unit weight gain), and consequently increase their transformation index (in other words the weight gain possible per food unit).
- The following examples illustrate the invention without limiting its scope.
-
FIG. 1 represents the inhibiting activity of Escherichia Coli for different zeolites exchanged or not exchanged with copper, silver or zinc, and for montmorillonite exchanged with copper (doses of 10 grams per litre of zeolite for 15 minutes exposure or 20 grams per litre of zeolite for 30 minutes exposure). -
FIG. 2 represents the inhibiting activity of Clostridium Sporogenes for different zeolites exchanged or not exchanged with copper, silver or zinc, and for montmorillonite exchanged with copper (doses of 10 grams per litre of zeolite for 15 minutes exposure or 20 grams per litre of zeolite for 30 minutes exposure). - The initial NaY zeolite (before exchange) used has an Si/Al (atomic) ratio equal to 2.6 (x=2.6); its general formula is Na AlO2, 2.6 SiO2 wH2O, the water representing the water absorbed in the zeolite pores (capillary condensation), that can be eliminated by increasing the temperature. Pores open at between 8 and 9 Å with a supercage at 13 Å.
- Na+ is exchanged by Cu++ as follows:
- The NaY zeolite in powder form is put into suspension while stirring in an aqueous solution (demineralised water) of Cu++ copper nitrate (other salts such as sulphate may be suitable).
- In this case, 200 g of zeolite is used in 0.5 litres of aqueous solution of copper sulphate (0.44 Molar), which is a V/P ratio of 2.5, a temperature of 70° C. and an exchange time of 3 hours.
- The next step is to recover exchanged zeolite, which is bluish, by filtration and washing on a filter funnel and washing on a filter with percolation with two litres of demineralised water. The zeolite is then dried (in the drying oven at 120° C. over night), and the copper content measured by Inducted Conducted Plasma (ICP) (plasma torch emission spectroscopy) (dry at 400° C.)) is 5.2%. Therefore the exchange % is 40%.
- The operating conditions and therefore the copper content can be varied. Table 1 given below represents the different operating conditions for examples 2 to 10 and zeolites according to this invention with the metal content obtained.
- For all these examples, V/P=2.5, the exchange temperature is 60° C. and the exchange time is 3 hours.
-

- Thus, 100 g of zeolite is intimately mixed in a mortar with 13 g of copper sulphate Cu SO4 5H2O. The mix is thus kept over night at ambient temperature.
- The next step is washing with demineralised water (1 litre) on a filter funnel to extract non-exchanged copper. The zeolite is then dried at 120° C.; the copper content (measured by ICP) is 3.3% by weight; the exchange rate is 25%.
- The same is performed at 60° C. (instead of ambient temperature); the copper content is approximately the same, which is logical because in this case copper is practically entirely exchanged.
- The growth data and consumption index data (that illustrates the food efficiency, as being the food quantity necessary to obtain one kilogram of additional live weight—the consumption index is unitless by definition, since it is the ratio of two equivalent measurements) are indicated in indexed form; the control is indexed to 100, and the performances of experimental batches with zeolite are indexed with respect to this base. An index of 103.2 means a performance 3.2% better than the control performance.
- First piglet test: 192 piglets between 42 and 70 days old broken down into batches according to their live weight and receiving food corresponding to their physiological stage supplemented by variable quantities of NaY zeolite containing 6% by weight of copper according to this invention (0 ppm (control) 3, 6 or 12 ppm).
- The average performances are given in table 2 below:

Incorporation rate of zeolite control according to this invention in ppm 0 3 6 12 Growth 100 94.7 109 103.5 Consumption index 100 103.2 95.7 95.7 - The incorporation of zeolite according to this invention gives an improvement in the growth of piglets between 42 and 70 days old. This improvement can be modelled using a 2nd degree equation that allows a maximum for a zeolite incorporation ratio according to this invention equal to between 9 and 10 ppm in proportion to the total weight of the food.
- Second piglet test: 56 piglets from 21 to 42 days old (1st age) broken down into batches according to their live weight, and receiving a food corresponding to their physiological stage, supplemented by variable quantities of NaY zeolite containing 6% by weight of copper according to this invention (0 ppm (control) 5, 10 or 20 ppm).

- The methodology used is based on the measurement of the bactericide activity of zeolite according to this invention in a liquid medium, and is comparable regardless of the micro organism being tested. The principle is as follows:
-
- preparation of a suspension of bacteria with 108 or 109 germs per ml
- 50 ml of this suspension is put into contact with a quantity of zeolite according to this invention, and stirring for a given time;
- numbering of germs remaining after treatment.
- Each dose ×time pair includes its own control.
- Results are expressed as a reduction factor of the initial colony (number of control germs divided by the number of germs after treatment).
- The average reducing activity was calculated as being the quotient of the average reduction expressed in
log 10, by the average value of the exposure (dose ×time). - Different zeolites were tested:
- A non-exchanged zeolite (NaY), NaY zeolites exchanged with copper containing 2.3% by weight of copper according to example 2 (NaY—Cu1: exchange rate 18%), 8.7% by weight of copper according to example 3 (NaY—Cu2: exchange rate 68%) and 10% by weight of copper (NaY—Cu3: exchange rate 78%), an NaY zeolite exchanged with silver containing 14.7% by weight of silver according to example 6 (NaY—Ag: exchange rate 37%), NaY zeolites exchanged with zinc containing 5.2% by weight of zinc (NaY—Zn1: exchange rate 38%) and 5% by weight of zinc according to example 4 (NaY—Zn2: exchange rate 37%), an A zeolite exchanged with copper containing 8.9% by weight of copper (A-Cu: exchange rate 41%), an A zeolite exchanged with silver containing 12.5% by weight of silver according to example 10 (A-Ag: exchange rate 18%), A zeolites exchanged with zinc containing 8.4% by weight of zinc (A-Zn1: exchange rate 38%) and 8% by weight of zinc (A-Zn2: exchange rate 36%) and montmorillonite exchanged with copper as described in Chinese publications (Xia et al., 2004 Poultry Science 83: 1868-1875, Xu et al., Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2003 Vol 16, No. 11: 1673-1679, Xia et al., Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004. Vol 17, No. 12: 1712-1716 and Hu et al., Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2004 Vol 17, No. 11: 1575-1581).
-
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the average reducing activity of these zeolites on E. Coli and C. Sporogenes. Thus, note: -
- the lack of activity of native zeolite (Nay vs Nay—Cu)
- the intermediate activity of Nay—Ag (exchange with silver)
- the activity of zeolite A exchanged with copper or silver
- the very low activity of montmorillonite exchanged with copper.
