- feeding said ruminant animals a composite feed supplement containing protein material treated by a process consisting of alkali solubilizing said protein material in an aqueous medium having a pH from about 9 to about 13.5 and drying said aqueous material to a particulate gel composition said treated protein material resisting biodegradation in the rumen but readily assimilable within the post rumen gut whereby meat, fat and milk production are promoted without gastric upset.
