Abstract
Abstract The palatability of oral ingesta, such as animal food or orally administered animal medicaments is improved by combining such ingesta with hydrolyzates of yeast from the genera ascomycetous yeasts or asporogenous yeasts. Oral ingesta such as an animal medicament or animal food is combined with either hydrolyzates of Torulopsis utilis or Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
