The composition is prepared by transforming a biologically acceptable compound of cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), selenium (Se), tin (Sn), nickel (Ni), boron (B), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and/or magnesium (Mg) and optionally of additional bioinorganic elements which does not form precipitate with the components of the composition and ensures an acidic pH; cyclic or heterocyclic organic compounds which ensure also the absorption and the synergistic action of said elements and can be transformed into other metabolites according to the need of the organism; an amphoteric monoamino monocarboxylic acid as a ligand which helps the immediate absorption of copper and zinc and which forms a complex with said elements and serves as a starting material of the essential synthetic processes; a polyhydroxy compound which helps the permeability of the cell membrane for the elements, forms an ester with boric acid and hydrochloric tin and helps the dissolution of starch and the absorption of the hydrolysis products; for the preparation of the manganese complex which ensures the suitable use of manganese an amino polycarboxylic acid which forms a complex of medium stability with manganese; a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or the anhydride, ester or imide thereof which is suitable for helping the effectiveness of said essential elements in the active functioning in the "respiratory chain", energy production and synthetic processes, which forms salts at the pH-value of the living organisms and thereby it is suitable for "carrying" some of the elements and which is also the metabolite of the living organism, separately or together into appropriate complexes and other compounds and combining them in groups in due succession and in suitable diluents.

Description: Process "for the preparation of a composition suitable for promoting the utilization (digestibility) of fodder b * y the animals Technical field The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composition suitable for promoting the utilization (digestibility) of fodder by the animals, therefore the composition can be used'fό'r the prevention of the impairment of health of aliπentary origin. Background art In Australia, South America, Sweden, Denmark, the Nether¬ lands and the German Federal epublic even soae decades a o it has been noticed that on certain- pasture lands the animals show the symptoms of unknown, -ailments. From the examination concerning these ailments it turned out that they are caused by the reduced amounts or the absence of certain bioinorganic elements of the pasture lands (or fodder) and advantageous results can be achieved by supplying the missing elements. The following articles relate to these examinations: J. F. Filmer and E. J. Underwood, Ξnzootic Marasmus, treatment with Limonite Fx-actions , Australian Veterinary Journ. Vol. X., Nr_ 3. (1934); J.

(l 4) } Scharrer, II., Bioche ie der Spurenelemen te, Paul Parey- in Berlin und Hamburg (1935)» In. Hungary similar symptoms • have been noticed after the second world war. These symptoms appeared in the often appalling reduction of breeding and producing capacity of animals kept and ed under wholesale commerci conditions and they were striking particularly in case of the very productive breeds of animals (Horvath, Z. and B. Tacsevϊ Feed injuries deficiency diseases, Mesδ- gazdasάgi Kiadό, Budapest, 1972). The damage is of great importance which appears from the fact that in the years 1962-1963 the cost value of the death caused by pig anaemia was assessed in more than 7 million forints. By the same disease in Switzerland a less of 50 million Swiss francs and in the German Federal Republic that of 40 million German marks were caused annuall . A great loss is caused also by the reduction of the lambing of sheeps and of the vitality of iambs and the loss is further Increased by the so called "stinking lameness". Xn case of poultry among others the level of the egQ output is very low, the required weight of broyler chickens only later or by more fodder can be achieved, the hatchability of the egss is poor, in case of Iiolεteir_.-Fri:__ catties breeding paralysis can be noticed. Generally the specific amount of the fodder requested in high and the ratio of utilization of the fodder is disadvantageous. The problems could not be solved by ';he use of fodder 5 or premi compositions having a high vitamin content, moreover the situation is worsened by- the use of a higher amount of calcium and phosphor in the course of feeding. All these problems are ascribable to the fact that other conditions ofthe functions of the metabolism needed 10 to the utilization of fodder iα the organism, e. g. the satisfactory supply with bioinorganic elements are neglected. The maximal production the collaboration of the functions is needed, wherein the bioinorganic element beside their other role - are the activators of essential -j ~ enzymes. It is to be mentioned that in case of some of these elements the best and long lasting results cannot be achieved when a high dose of the elements is used for a short time but the elements should be used simultaneously 0 in form of a composition suitable for absorption and their complexes should be ormed with organic ligands which can be transformed and used in the vital process of the organism. " When the elements are,used daily in small amounts and in the advantageous ratio, the "repo- 5 sitories" of the organism are filled but the elements do not accumulate in toxic amounts and do not become toxic, furthermore synergistic effect EKVV * occur. Disclosure of Invention In the course of the elaboration of the composition 0 of the invention the analysis results of fodder seeds and rough, fodder, of the esss of poor or good hatchability and of the serum and liver of animals having normal or reduced production capacity and the absorption rate of some bioinorganic elements have been taken into considerat ion. The effects of the composition according to the invention are the following: In addition to the hindrance of the sterility of alimentar origin it also terminates the sterility because it pre- 0 serves or restores the normal functions of the cells of the endocrine glands and also the function of the generati organs which were not injured irreversibly. It enhances the co-ordinated operation of several enzymes. The activation of the enzymes which carry out the energy 5 producing and -synthetic processes and the "respirating chain" in the itocho driums (cytochrom oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase) is of special importance. It hinders the development of ataxia, osteoporosis, osteo- malacia and paralysis, it helps the co-ordination of the 20. muscular motions as it enhances the function of osteo- blasts in helping the osteogenesis, it helps the effectivit of vitamin D and the incorporation of phosphor into the skeleton of the organism. It has antianaemic activity because it enhances the haemoglobin formation, stimulates 2 the erythropoiesis , improves the intake and transport of oxygen and the oxygen supply of the cells. It enhances the resistance of the organism as it makes the i mun reactions more effective that is it increases the synthesi of -globuline and the antibody production and stimulate 0 the phagocytal capacity of the lencocytes. _ t hinders the inflamma ion processes because it shows antihistamine activity as well. It hinders the pathological accumulation of the cholestero fatty :aoids and fat content of the serum. It exerts positive inotrop effect on the ventricular muscle of the animals which is caused by the activation of adenylate cyclase as the cyclic AI-IP level is increase. Thereby also the load-bearing capacity of the organism is increased. Summarizing the above it can be stated that it enhances the maximal utilization of the ingested fodder, thereby * the requested specific fodder amount is decreased and the producing and breeding capacity of the animals which are characteristic to the species are increased. The composition of the invention, can be prepared by trans- forming a biologically acceptable compound of cobalt (Co), vanadium (V) , selenium (Se), tin (Sn), nickel (Ni), boron (B), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) , iron (Fe), and/oder magnesium (Mg) and optionally * of additional bio¬ inorganic elements which does not form precipitate with the components of the composition and ensures an acidic plϊ; cyclic or heterocyclic organic compounds which ensure also the absorption and the synergistic action of said elements and can be trans ormed into other metabolites according to the need of the organism an a photeric ono- amino monocarboxylic acid as a ligand which helps the immediate absorption of copper and zinc and which forms a complex with said elements and serves as a starting material of the essential S3'nthetic processes; a poly— hydroxy compound which helps the permeability of the cell membrane for the elements, forms an ester with boric acid and hydrochloric tin and helps the dissolution of starch and the absorption of the hydrolysis products; for the preparation of the manganese complex which ensures the suitable use of manganese an amino polycarboxyl acid which forms a complex of a medium stability with man¬ ganese; a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or the anhydride, ester or imide thereof which is suitable for helping the ef ectiveness of said essential elements in the active functioning in the. "respiratory chain", energy production and synthetic processes, which forms salts at the pK-value of the. living organisms and thereby it is suitable for "carrying" eo e of the elements and which is also the metabolite of the living organism, separately or together into appropriate complexes and other compounds and combining them in groups in due succession and in suitable diluents.

The activity of the composition was examined in the following animal experiments. ii_xperiments on sheeps: It has been examined whether it means any change in the development of lambs consuming ewe-milk that the ewes consumed the composition of the invention during the lactation period. The weight of the sucking lambs was measured prior to the administration of the composit ion and at the delactation of the lambs. The compositio was administered in the drinking-water. For the experime 40-40 ewes suffering from "stinking lameness" were used. Change of the body weight (kg/anima1) ( %) Control group (treated with a usual composition) 4 . 97 100 Group treated with the composition of the invention + with the usual composition 5.8 117 Group treated with the composition of the invention + claw treatment (cutting) 5,87 118 SD 5 % 0,87 17,5 The weight increase of the lambs of the ewes suffering from "stinking lameness" which consumed the composition is 18 which can be set confirmed. The weight increase of the lambs of the ewes not suffering from "stinking lameness" was measured as well in two ways. In the first case (A) the joint weight increase of all the lambs and in the second cas.e (B) the weight increase of the lambs having the same weight (5 kg) at the beginning of the experiment were established. The composition was administered to the ewes in their drink- ing-water. The results of the comparisons A and B are summarised in the following Table. " Weight increase of the sucking lambs Control group 5,40 kg 100 % ,13 leg 100 % Group treated with the composition 6,90 kg 128 % 6,84 kg 133,3 SD 7o 1 ,33 k 24,6 7o 1 ,33 kg 24,6 According to the above results the weight increase of the lambs of ewes not suffering from "stinking lameness" which received the composition of the invention is even more striking. It is by 28 % and 33,3 % higher than that of the control group. The results can be set confirmed. The effect of the composition of the invention on the weight increase of fatted lambs has been examined as well. Two groups each consisting of 63 similar ram-tegs were used to the experiment. The experiment lasted for 57 days. The results are summarized in the following Table by giving A : the total weight increase and 3 : the weight increase • of the lambs having the same weight at the beginning of t experinent. " ./eight increase Control group 3,43 kg 100 G,20 kg 100 o Group treated with the composition 9,69 kg 115 _^ 9, 80 kg 120 o o: The weight increase of the fatted lambs is very significant and it is more striking in case of the fatted lambs having the same weight at the beginning of the experiment. 5 According to the general experiences the condition of the ewes worsens during the lactation period, this is disadvantageous from the point of view.of rutting and re-insemiπatioj-i. In case of the group suffering from "stinking lameness the weight of the ewes was measured 10 at the beginning and at the end of the lactation period. It has been noticed that in case of the control group during the lactation period the weight decrease was on an average of 3 , 68 kg pro animal whereas in case of the group wherein the ewes consumed the composition of 15 the invention, a weight increase of 1 ,02 lg pro animal was reached. It can be established that by * the use of ihe composition of the invention the condition of the ewes does not worsen, in fact, a weight increase of 1 kg is noticed. 20 . Th-e side effect of the composition of the invention on the prevention of "stinking lameness" has been examin as well on two groups of ewes each consisting of 40-40 animals. The treatment lasted for 72 days, 2 ml of the composition were administered daily in the drinking water; the appearence of lameness was examined 8 times, In the following Table the number of the animals which became ill are given. Kumber of animals Control group 43 107,5 % Group treated with the composition 8 20,0 f -o By the use of the composition the lameness decreased by 87,5 %. On the basis of the exploratory tests the experiment was carried out for a whole cycle on sheeps, turkey- hens, broyler chickens and calves. The keeping conditions were the same in case of the control and treated groups, but the treated animals consumed the composition together with their drinking- ater. At the initial stage of the experiments the following ' results were obtained. In case of turkey-hens wherein the control and treated groups each consisted of 1072 animals the results obtaine after 40 days are the following-.

The process according to the invention Is illustrated by the ollowing Examples. Example 1 The following components are used, the amounts are calculated on the total volume and weight, resp. of the composition: 0,04 cobalt chloride or its hexahydr 0,046 % ammonium etavanadate, 0,034 % nickel sulphate or its heptahydrate, 0,06 % boric acid, 0,08 selenium 0,385 % copper sulphate or its pentahydrate, 1 ,0 % ferr sulphate or its heptahydrate, 1 ,76 % sine sulphate or i heptahydrate, 2,03 % magnesium sulphate or its heptahyd 0,852 % manganese sulphate or its dihydrate, 0,05 sta chloride or its dihydrate, 0,672 % EDTA sodium salt, 0, succinic anhydride or its ethyl ester or i ide derivati 0,25 glycine, 2,00 % glycerine, 0,025 ascorbic acid, 0,2 % succinic acid. For the preparation of the monoeth succinate 150 ml of ethanol and for that of succinimide of 25 % ammonium hydroxide are used. As an inert diluen or carrier preferably water, particularly * distilled wate is employed. Example 2 The given amount of cobalt chloride, ammonium metavanada and succinic anhydride are heated on a water bath in 0 ml of ethanol until all the compounds are dissolved then the excess of the alcohol is evaporated. Hie Co-V- -ethyl succinate thus obtεL ned is dissolved in water. Example 3 - Succinic anhydride in an amount given In Example 1 is heated and boiled in 40 ml of 25 % ammonium hydroxyde solution until the odour of ammonia disappears, v.hile succinimide is ormed. To the warm reaction mixture the solution of nickel sulphate heptalιydx , ate and of selenium (corresponding to the amounts given in Example is added, " ϊater soluble succinimide selenium and succinimide nickel are obtained. Example 4 The copper salt and glycine in the amounts given in Example 1 and 6 g of the zinc salt are dissolved in water separately and the warm solutions are combined. Violet—coloured copper and sine glycinate are obtained. Example 5 The given amount of manganese sulphate or its hydrate and o EDTA sodium salt are dissolved separately in water unde heating. The manganese sulphate solution is acidified with diluted H_S0^ (to a pH-value of about 6 , 3 ) and it is combined with the solution of the EDTA sodium salt. The manganese complex of EDTA is obtained. Example 6 The given amounts of the errous and magnesium salt and of succinic acid as well as 10SS g of the zinc salt are dissolved separately in water and the warm solutions are combined.. Ferrous, magnesium and zinc succinates are obtained and a part of the iron, magnesium and zinc remain in the solution in free form. Example 7 The given amounts of boric acid and staπnous chloride dihydrate are dissolved separately in water. 500—500 ml of glycerine are added to each of the solutions. If the stannous chloride glycerine solution was opalescent, it should be titrated with 2N H SO. until the opalescence ceases, thereby a clear solution is obtained. The glycer ester of boric acid and the stannous chloride glycerine are combined, and the solution is filled up with glyceri to 2000 ml. Example 8 A composition (solution) suitable for oral administratio is prepared in the following way. The solutions of the compounds prepared in the preceding Examples are combined in the following succession: I. Cobalt, vanadium ethyl succinate solution prepared according to Example 2. II. i-TIckel, selenium succinimide solution prepared according to Example 3» III. tianganese-EDTA complex solution prepared according to Example 5• IV. Copper, zinc glycinate complex prepared according to Example 4. V. Ferrous, magnesium, zinc succinate solution prepared according to Example 6. VI. The glycerine solution prepared according to Example containing the glycerine ester of boric acid and stannous chloride. To the composition prepared according to Example 8 a reducing agent is added which is not injurious to the organism of the animals and which does not form a preci¬ pitate with the other components. This reducing agent is preferably ascorbic acid which is added in the amount - 1 s - given in Example 1. In case of necessity the pH of the combined solutions is adjusted with a no -toxic, diluted acid, preferably with diluted IϊCl to a value of 1-3 * The composition Is administered in a dose 5 corresponding to the species, age and body weight of the animal, preferably in the drinking-water. According to an alternative method the composition can be obtained by preparing a concentrate from the solution at a temperature of not exceeding 104 C or a solution •jO the density of which is comparable to that of the satura ed solution. The concentrate thus obtained is preferably employed by absorbing it on the substances used for * feeding. For this purpose ρrefeι*ably grists suitable for feeding are used and a homogenous premix having a moistu 1 content suitable for storing is prepared with these fodder grists.
