Advanced Bacillus Subtilis Feed Innovation for Livestock
Legal Citation
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed the use of Bacillus subtilis strain DSM 32685 for inhibiting bacterial colonization and infection in animals. However, the original invention had limitations in terms of feed composition, real-time monitoring, and verification of origin and quality. The present invention addresses these limitations by synergistically combining Bacillus subtilis with advanced technologies to create more powerful and efficient animal feed systems.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The present invention is novel and non-obvious in its synergistic combination of Bacillus subtilis with advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and novel materials. The invention provides a new and unexpected solution to the problems of animal feed composition, real-time monitoring, and verification of origin and quality.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the invention could include the use of other probiotic strains or microorganisms in combination with advanced technologies. Variations of the invention could also involve different types of animal feed products or different modes of administration of the Bacillus subtilis strain.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The present invention has significant commercial potential in the animal feed industry, with potential applications in poultry, swine, cattle, and other livestock sectors. The invention could also have implications for human health and nutrition, particularly in the areas of probiotics and personalized nutrition.
