Abstract
The present invention relates to mixtures including hydrophobic microparticles comprising a positively charged polymer (e.g. a polysaccharide such as chitosan) non-covalently bound to an anionic or non-ionic surfactant such as lecithin. The mixtures are useful for reducing cholesterol of an animal, for example a bird such as a chicken or any type of mammal. Methods of manufacture and use of the mixtures are also disclosed herein.
