摘要

PURPOSE:To increase the intake of water and increase the body weight of an animal, by adding a specific amount of decomposed protein to drinking water or a liquid containing a drug, dissolving or dispersing the additive and feeding an animal with the solution or dispersion. CONSTITUTION:Drinking water or a liquid containing a drug is added with =0.5(wt%), preferably 1-5% decomposed protein (e.g. casein, milk serum protein, soybean protein, albumen, etc.), and the obtained solution or dispersion is fed to an animal to increase the intake of water, increase the body weight of an animal, and restore the physical strength of a weak young animal. The decomposed protein can be produced in the form of powder by dissolving a mixture of casein, milk serum protein, microbial protein, etc., in water, subjecting the protein mixture to hydrolysis, etc., heating the reaction liquid to deactivate the enzyme and concentrating and drying the product.
