Abstract

A process for promoting growth and feed efficiency in food producing animals is provided by administering to such animals, growth promoting amounts of certain forms of lysocellin, including the free acid and physiologically-acceptable salts thereof. Metal complexes of lysocellin can be prepared by adding the appropriate soluble metal salts to a fermentation beer containing lysocellin to thereby form an insoluble, recoverable biomass containing the desired growth-promoting metal salt complex of lysocellin for use in the process herein.
