Filed:

Feb 11, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/361981

Inventors:

Charles J. Rice - Sanford NC 27331

International Classification:

B05B 1700

US Classification:

239 1, 239146, 418191

Abstract:

A fluid pump for pumping fluidized materials comprises a motor, a material pump, and a closed-loop pressure hydraulic system interconnecting the motor and the material pump. The closed-loop hydraulic system further comprises a hydraulic pump, a pressure regulator, an impeller, and an expandable fluid reservoir. The motor includes an output to drive the hydraulic pump, which pumps hydraulic fluid throughout the closed-loop hydraulic system. As the hydraulic fluid flows throughout the closed-loop system, it passes through the impeller, which in turn drives the material pump to deliver the fluidized material from a material reservoir to an outlet valve for dispensing the material.

US Classification:

426 2, 426636

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method of increasing the milk and/or meat quantity of silage-fed animals comprising the steps: a) treating plants and/or propagules and/or sites where the plants are growing or are to grow with at least one strobilurin compound b) producing silage from the plants treated according to step a) c) feeding the milk and/or meat producing animals with the silage produced according to step b) made from the plants treated according to step a). Furthermore, the present invention relates to silage for feeding animals, produced from plants treated with at least one strobilurin compound prior to producing said silage. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of at least one strobilurin compound to increase the milk quantity of silage-fed milk-producing animals. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of at least one strobilurin compound to increase the meat quantity of silage-fed meat-producing animals.
