NOVEL OLIGOSACCHARIDES FOR USE IN PREBIOTIC APPLICATIONS
Mare's milk plays a major role in the health of neonatal foals and may be used for human or other mammalian health. Oligosaccharides (OS) possess various bioactivities in many mammalian milks, and Mare's milk may be a source of novel oligosaccharides. The invention relates to the identification of novel structures in mare's milk that may be synthesized or otherwise purified for use in a variety of animal and human applications related to the gut microbiome and mammalian health.
