Process for Preparing Animal Feed

A method for the manufacture of an animal feed supplement, comprising:

• processing a carbohydrate-containing liquid composition to induce cracking and evaporation and thereby form a concentrated liquid composition;
• and
• solidifying the concentrated liquid composition to form the animal feed supplement, wherein the supplement is a vitreous solid;
• and
• wherein the carbohydrate-containing liquid composition is processed by continuously feeding the carbohydrate-containing liquid composition into a first (input) end of a thin film processor having a first end and a second output end, subjecting the carbohydrate-containing liquid composition to cracking and evaporation within the thin film processor;
• and continuously removing the concentrated liquid composition from the second (output) end of the thin film processor, wherein the concentrated liquid composition has a moisture content from 3 to 5%.
