Abstract

Feed additive compositions for ruminants containing (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated vegetable oil and hydrogenated animal oil each having a melting point of higher than 50° C. and lower than 90° C.; (B) not less than 0.05 wt % and not more than 6 wt % of lecithin; (C) not less than 30 wt % and less than 65 wt % of a biologically active substance; (D) not less than 0.01 wt % and less than 0.8 wt % of a natural vegetable oil; and not less than 0.1 wt % and less than 6 wt % of water exhibit high protection in the rumen and are also superior in dissolution in the lower gastrointestinal tract.

Dependent claims

A feed additive composition for ruminants to protect nutrients in the rumen and make the nutrients available for absorption in the gastrointestinal track after the fourth stomach, the composition comprising:

(A) at least one selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated vegetable oil and hydrogenated animal oil each having a melting point of from higher than 50° C. to lower than 90° C.;
(B) from 0.05 wt % to 6 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, of lecithin;
(C) from 30 wt % to less than 65 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, of a biologically active substance;
(D) from 0.01 wt % to less than 0.8 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, of a natural vegetable oil;
and
from 0.1 wt % to less than 6 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, of water,
wherein the feed additive composition comprises a surface layer substantially free of the biologically active substance.
