Abstract
A growth promoting and feed efficiency-enhancing amount of a lysocellin material selected from the group consisting of lysocellin, lysocellin free acid, and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof is administered to a food-producing animal selected from the group consisting of ruminants, swine and poultry in a process for promoting growth and enhancing feed efficiency of such a food-producing animal. A feed supplement for a food-producing animal, the feed supplement being capable of increasing the rate of growth of the animal when supplied in the animal's feed on a regular basis during the animal's normal growth period, and which is also capable of enhancing feed efficiency of the animal, includes a mixture of a basal feed material for a food-producing animal selected from the group consisting of ruminants, swine and poultry, and a growth rate-increasing and feed efficiency-enhancing amount of a lyoscellin material selected from the group consisting of lysocellin, lysocellin free acid, and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof.
