Definitions
- Dags comprise a mixture of excrement, soil, and chaff. Livestock affected by heavy dag burdens can incur cost penalties at the abattoir and increase the risk of bacterial contamination of meat resulting from knives becoming contaminated with fecal organisms during slaughtering. Where the breech region of an animal is not appropriately maintained it is susceptible to soiling by fecal matter and urine, which create insect attractant sites where insects may lay eggs leading to flystrike. Dags are difficult to prevent, costly to remove, produce discomfort in the animal during removal, and are associated with an increased incidence of flystrike.

- Figure 1 is an illustrative overview of a system in which the compositions of the present technology comprising microcapsules produce enzymatically active microorganisms to prevent dag formation.
- Figure 2 is an illustrative example of release and activation profiles for
- compositions and methods related to treating and preventing dag formation, and related disorders or conditions in animals, over the course of a relatively long period of time e.g., over the course of a season comprising multiple wet/dry cycles.
- Figure 1 provides an illustrative overview of the methods and compositions described herein.
- compositions and methods of the present technology comprise the use of a steady release encapsulated microbiome (e.g., microcapsules) 102 comprising enzyme-producing microorganisms 104 that degrade dag precursors or binding elements (e.g., complex sugars, proteins, fat, lignin) 106 to reduce the ability of animal pen material (e.g., dung, urine, mud, biomass) 108 to adhere to an animal' s coat 110.
- animal pen material e.g., dung, urine, mud, biomass
- the pen material that does adhere to the animal' s coat does so only weakly due to the degradation of binding elements 106 in the pen material 108 by enzymes 112 produced by the microorganism and is easily brushed or washed away.
- compositions and methods of the present technology provide for the steady release of the enzymes 112 over the course of a relatively long period of time to ensure that the catalytic activity of the enzymes is applied throughout the time period.
- the steady release of the enzymes 112 is accomplished by microencapsulating dormant enzyme- producing microorganisms 104 in a coating material that degrades when hydrated 114 to release and activate the microorganisms 104 in a controlled manner throughout the period of time, such as throughout a season comprising multiple wet/dry cycles.
- the desired enzymatic activity can be directed to the animal's coat 110 as the animal will contact the activated microorganism through normal activity (e.g., mixing the animal pen or feedlot material and lying in the material).
- the activation of the microorganisms is triggered by the very event that typically causes dag formation, e.g., rainfall 118, which will hydrate the encapsulant and release and activate at least a portion of the microorganisms.
- the animals coming into contact with the animal pen or feedlot floor material 108 comprising the activated microorganisms 120 will ensure that the enzymatic activity is transferred to the location at which the dag needs to be prevented, i.e., the animal's coat 110.
- Enzymes 112 produced by the activated microorganisms 120 degrade elements in the pen material that would adhere to an animal's coat and may also contact the animal when the animal comes into contact with the pen material, thereby reducing the adhesion of dag material to the animal's coat.
- the enzymes may react with elements of the animal's hide to reduce the ability of the animal pen or feedlot material to bind to the animal's coat 110.
- An example of such an enzyme is keratinase.
- the encapsulation coating comprises elements of the animal pen or feedlot itself, such as soil, biomass, and manure.
- the present technology provides for the direct application of the encapsulated enzyme-producing microorganisms to the feedlot or animal pen through either their direct application to the animal or to the feedlot or animal pen floor.
- not all of the microcapsules of the present technology release all of their contents at once. Rather, as illustrated by Figure 1, a subset of the microcapsules may release their contents upon hydration 124, while a separate subset of microcapsules 102 will remain to be activated by hydration ⁇ e.g., during a subsequence wet period or rainfall).
- animal pen and “feedlot” are used interchangeably and include any enclosure in which animals are kept. The terms also include a lot or building or a combination of lots and buildings intended for confined feeding, breeding, raising, or holding animals where manure may accumulate.
- biomass may include lignin, lignocellulose, cellulose, or combinations thereof.
- Biomass can be derived from a variety of sources, such as waste organic matter (e.g. , from compostable sources) or from numerous types of plants, such as miscanthus, switchgrass, hemp, corn, poplar, willow, sorghum, sugarcane, bamboo, or trees such as eucalyptus or palm.
- the term "breech region,” refers to the area around the vulva and/or anus of the animal that may collect urine and/or feces.
- the term "dormant,” with reference to the enzyme-producing microorganisms of the present technology, refers to a state in which the enzymatic and/or metabolic activities of the microorganism are suspended (e.g., by dehydration or in a spore state), and in which the microorganism may be activated or re-animated (e.g. , by hydration or oxygenation).
- the microorganisms are in a spore state (e.g. , dormant) and are encapsulated according to the present technology.
- the spores are dehydrated, e.g., by freeze drying, and encapsulated according to the present technology.
- coating refers to any compound, natural or synthesized, that coats or encapsulates the microorganisms to contribute to a delay of the release of the microorganism until the coating is hydrated.
- Exemplary, non-limiting coatings may include the same materials present in the animal pen or feedlot, such as soil (e.g. , clay), biomass, and manure.
- the encapsulation materials include, but are not limited to, alginate, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), chitosan, and gelatin.
- biodegradable binders such as polylactic acid (PL A), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), starch (e.g., dextrin), natural resins, lignin, or other bioadhesives, such as proteins (e.g., casein) and crosslinking agents may be added to the coating.
- Exemplary, non-limiting crosslinking agents may include aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde), alcohols, (e.g., ethanol, methanol), and oxidizing agents (e.g., potassium permanganate), or combinations thereof.
- aldehydes e.g., formaldehyde
- alcohols e.g., ethanol, methanol
- oxidizing agents e.g., potassium permanganate
- the amount and/or thickness of either the coating material and/or crosslinking of the coating material can be varied.
- larvastrike refers to an infestation by larvae or maggots of flies.
- microorganism means naturally-occurring and/or genetically-modified prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial species, spores, or progenitors thereof from the domains Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya, the latter including yeast and filamentous fungi, protozoa, algae, and higher Protista.
- the terms “treating” or “treatment” or “alleviation” refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) the targeted condition.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne de nouvelles compositions et de nouveaux procédés pour traiter ou prévenir la formation de mèches de laine coagulées (daggins). Les compositions et procédés de la présente invention concernent des microorganismes microencapsulés biodégradables qui restent dormants jusqu'à leur activation par hydratation pour produire des enzymes qui dégradent des éléments du matériau d'enclos d'animaux qui sinon adhèrent aux poils de la peau ou du cuir des animaux, empêchant ainsi la formation de daggins ou affaiblissant la structure du matériau d'enclos pouvant adhérer aux poils de peau ou de cuir d'animaux. L'enrobage des microcapsules se dégrade et libère des micro-organismes activés lorsqu'il est hydraté, sinon les micro-organismes encapsulés restent dormants. La condition de libération spécifique de micro-organismes activés fournit la capacité de délivrer l'activité enzymatique des microorganismes au matériau d'enclos et/ou aux poils de peau ou cuir d'animaux au moment approprié, par exemple pendant une saison humide.
