Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to peptide-like compounds, e.g. aminocarboxylic acid amide derivatives, and to methods of using same in the field of general health care, for example, to improve resistance to stress, improve production of desired characteristics or useful products in animals, to increase weight gain, prevent diseases caused by pathogens, and to decrease feed efficiency. The invention has applications in the field of animal husbandry, and in treating or preventing weight loss associated with a disease in humans. It also relates to administering carbobenzoxy beta-alanyl taurine to improve feed efficiency in an animal, comprising administering to the animal an amount of carbobenzoxy beta-alanyl taurine sufficient to reduce the amount of food required to increase a unit of weight in the animal.
