Abstract
The method for mixing and introduction of inulin facilitates health in young animals. In general, Inulin in a dry form will be combined with dry citric acid, an FDA approved colorant, and a moisture scavenger. The combined dry product will then be mixed and subsequently mixed with water, where the typical dry mixture will be 75% to 85% Inulin, 20% to 25% citric acid, and less than 1% colorant and moisture scavenger. The mixed solution may then be diluted to a minimum concentration of 1 part solution to 128 parts water for introduction to young animals.
Claims21
A method of making a feed for animals, said feed comprising inulin, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) obtaining dry inulin;
- b) obtaining dry citric acid;
- and
- c) mixing the dry inulin with the dry citric acid to form a dry feed;
- and
- d) combining the mixed dry inulin and dry citric acid with water at a temperature between about 50° F. and about 115° F. to form an aqueous feed mixture comprising inulin, the combination of citric acid with inulin effective to minimize clumping of the inulin in the aqueous feed mixture.
A method of feeding animals, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) obtaining a dry feed, said dry feed comprising dry inulin and dry citric acid;
- and
- b) mixing said dry feed with water at a temperature of about 50° F. to about 115° F. to provide an aqueous mixture, the aqueous mixture comprising inulin.
