Claims20
A pelletized feed composition comprising a granule comprising a core and a coating, wherein the core comprises at least 15% w/w spray dried muramidase and wherein the coating comprises an inner salt layer and an outer hydrophobic layer.
A granule comprising a core and a coating, wherein the core comprises at least 15% w/w spray dried muramidase and wherein the coating comprises an inner salt layer and an outer hydrophobic layer, said outer hydrophobic layer having a thickness of at least 1 μm.
A method for manufacturing a pelletized feed composition comprising the steps of:
- (i) mixing feed components with a plurality of granules comprising a core, an inner coating and an outer coating, wherein the core comprises at least 15% w/w spray dried muramidase, wherein the inner coating comprises a salt, and wherein the outer coating comprises a hydrophobic coating material, thereby producing a mash composition;
- (ii) steam treating said mash composition to produce a steam-treated mash composition having a humidity above 12%;
- and
- (iii) pelleting said steam-treated mash composition.
