Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
An antimicrobial complex for preserving animal feed and feedstuffs selected from the group of grains, hay and forage nutrients, comprising pyroligneous acid, and an enhancer for buffering the activity rate of said acid, selected from the group of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA), the sodium salt thereof, the disodium salt thereof, the trisodium salt thereof, the tetrasodium salt thereof and/or the calcium salt thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
An antimicrobial complex for preserving animal feed and feedstuffs selected from the group of grains, hay and forage nutrients, comprising pyroligneous acid, and an enhancer for buffering the activity rate of said acid, selected from the group of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA), the sodium salt thereof, the disodium salt thereof, the trisodium salt thereof, the tetrasodium salt thereof and/or the calcium salt thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The complex of claim 1 and a non-ionic, synthetic detergent for enhancing penetration of the complex across cell/spore membranes of a treated substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The complex of claim 2 wherein said synthetic detergent is a glycol ether in an amount effective to enhance said penetration across cell/spore membranes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The complex of claim 2, and further including propionic acid in an amount effective to reduce the microbe environmental Ph.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
An antimicrobial complex for preserving animal feed and feedstuffs selected from the group consisting of grains, hay and forage nutrients, comprising pyroligneous acid, complexed with EDTA and a non-ionic synthetic detergent substantially according to the following proportions: 4 grams of EDTA; 4 grams of glycol ether; and sufficient pyroligneous acid to bring the total volume to five gallons.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
An antimicrobial complex for preserving animal feed and feedstuffs selected from the group consisting of grains, hay and forage nutrients, comprising pyroligneous acid, complexed with EDTA and a non-ionic synthetic detergent substantially according to the following proportions: 4 grams of EDTA; 4 grams of glycol ether; and sufficient pyroligneous acid to bring the total volume to five gallons.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The antimicrobial complex of claim 5, and including propionic acid substantially according to the following proportions: 4 grams of EDTA;
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words
4 grams of glycol ether; 224 grams of propionic acid; and
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
11 words
4 grams of glycol ether; 224 grams of propionic acid; and
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
5 words
900 grams of pyroligneous acid.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
5 words
900 grams of pyroligneous acid.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
43 words
An antimicrobial complex for preserving animal feed and feedstuffs selected from the group consisting of grains, hay and forage nutrients, comprising: pyroligneous acid and diamine triacetic or tetra acetic acids in an amount effective for buffering the activity rate of said pyroligneous acid.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
43 words
An antimicrobial complex for preserving animal feed and feedstuffs selected from the group consisting of grains, hay and forage nutrients, comprising: pyroligneous acid and diamine triacetic or tetra acetic acids in an amount effective for buffering the activity rate of said pyroligneous acid.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
26 words
The complex of claim 7 and a glycol ether non-ionic, synthetic detergent for enhancing penetration of the complex across the cell/spore membranes of a treated substrate.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
19 words
The complex of claim 7 and including propionic acid in an amount effective to reduce the microbe environmental Ph.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
45 words
The complex of claim 9 wherein the recited ingredients are formulated substantially in the proportions of: 4 grams of said diamine triacetic or tetra acetic acids; 4 grams of said glycol ether; 224 grams of said propionic acid; and 18,900 grams of said pyroligneous acid.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
40 words
Animal feedstuffs selected from the group consisting of grains, hay and forage nutrients, preserved with an antimicrobial complex comprising essentially pyroligneous acid buffered with EDTA, applied to the feed and feedstuffs in concentrations of 16 to 80 ounces per ton.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
40 words
Animal feedstuffs selected from the group consisting of grains, hay and forage nutrients, preserved with an antimicrobial complex comprising essentially pyroligneous acid buffered with EDTA, applied to the feed and feedstuffs in concentrations of 16 to 80 ounces per ton.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
29 words
Animal feedstuffs according to claim 11 further enhanced with a glycol ether in an amount effective to promote penetration of the complex across the cell/spore membranes of the feedstuffs.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim
25 words
Animal feedstuffs according to claim 12 wherein said complex is further enhanced with propionic acid in an amount effective to reduce the microbe environmental Ph.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim
49 words
Animal feedstuffs, preserved with the enhanced complex of claim 13, wherein the ingredients of said complex are formulated substantially in the proportions of: 4 grams of EDTA; 4 grams of glycol ether; 8 ounces of propionic acid; and sufficient pyroligneous acid to bring the total volume to five gallons.
