Ocean Harvest Technology Group Plc has been granted a second patent supporting the benefits of using its OceanFeed™ product in the diets of a range of animals.
Ocean Harvest Technology Group Plc, one of the leading researchers, developers and suppliers of proprietary blended seaweed products as functional additives for the global animal feed industry, has announced that it has been granted a second patent, covering a wide range of claims about the benefits of using its OceanFeed™ product in the diets of a range of animals.
The company stated that the patent protects the claims of how Ocean Harvest Technology’s product positively impacts the gut through its proven pre-biotic effect, and that this results in increased body weight and/or improved feed efficiency in a wide range of animals.
Mark Williams, CEO of Ocean Harvest Technology, commented: “The granting of this patent is a very important milestone for Ocean Harvest Technology. For a number of years, we have been demonstrating improved performance in production animals from adding OceanFeed™ to their diets including higher growth rates, reduced mortality and improved feed efficiency. The grant of this patent enables us to uniquely make and protect the claims over these performance improvements and how they are achieved, which is through the specific pre-biotic effect our product has in the microbiome of the animals.”
