A process for preparing an animal feed block which comprises mixing:
- about 25 to about 75% by weight of molasses;
- about 0.5 to about 5% by weight of hard metallic soap former;
- about 2 to about 20% by weight of fatty acid soap former;
- and
- natural protein source to make up 100% by weight with the minimum concentration of said natural protein source being at least about 20% by weight;
- to thereby obtain a homogeneous nutrient composition which sets to a hard block, said percents by weight herein being based on the weight of the hard block.
