    Abstract: A method and compound for promoting growth and priming the immune system in both animals and humans are disclosed. The disclosed method utilizes a compound derived from one or more of a lipopolysaccharide, Lipid A, and fractions, derivatives, and cellular components thereof of gram-negative bacteria. The compound is combined with conventional feed, such as corn-soy feed, for administration to animals, such as poultry. Human application is possible, as well. Kinomic analysis of tissues collected from sacrificed birds fed the dietary mixture of the inventive compound and conventional feed suggests that the biomass causes an alteration of signaling in multiple growth-related pathways. These pathways include, but are not limited to, those associated with the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK or MAP kinase), Ak strain transforming (Akt), and the neurotrophic tropomyosin-related kinase (NTRK). Evidence supports the conclusion that this alteration represents the modulation of the various pathways.

    Abstract: An effective treatment mechanism in controlling a variety of diseases by modulating the inflammatory response often associated with disease is disclosed. The disclosed inventive concept is based on the modulation of TLR4 by use of a member of the Variovorax group or the Rhodobacter group. Specifically, the Gram-negative bacterium Variovorax paradoxus or the Gram-negative bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is used according to the disclosed inventive concept in the treatment of disease by reducing or inhibiting inflammatory responses.

    Abstract: An algal biomass and supernatant derived from at least one species of algae exhibits anti-inflammatory and immune response modulating properties. Methods of reducing the symptoms of or treating a condition or disease in an animal, including bovine mastitis and Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex, and the pain and discomfort caused by osteoarthritis, injury or overexertion or muscle and connective tissue strains, comprises administering to the animal in need thereof an algal biomass or supernatant derived from at least one species of algae, or an extract, derivative or biologically active compound derived from the algae species, biomass or supernatant, or compositions thereof.

    Abstract: A method and compound for promoting growth in both animals and humans are disclosed. The disclosed method utilizes a compound derived from a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of gram-negative bacteria. The compound itself is a natural product with no observed adverse environmental impact. The compound is combined with conventional feed, such as a corn-soy feed, for administration to animals, such as poultry. Human application is possible, as well. The combination of the disclosed inventive compound and conventional feed works through multiple growth-related pathways within, for example, in healthy birds to enhance growth performance while also priming the immune system to expedite response to a disease challenge should one arise. Data indicate that the dietary mixture of the inventive compound in conventional feed suggests that the biomass alters the signaling of multiple growth-related pathways.

    Abstract: An algal biomass and supernatant derived from at least one species of algae exhibits the ability to maintain general health in humans and non-human animals and promote a healthy immune system in them. Food, feed and nutritional supplements comprising an algal biomass or supernatant derived from at least one species of algae are described. Methods of maintaining general health or promoting a healthy immune system in humans and non-human animals comprises administering to the animal in need thereof an algal biomass or supernatant derived from at least one species of algae, or an extract, derivative or homeopathic compound derived from the algae species, biomass or supernatant, or a composition thereof.
