Abstract
A stomach chamber bypass nutrient comprises a beadlet fabricated in two steps having two regions, a first region having the desired nutrient and a second region including fats and calcium based compounds. The nutrient includes lysine, methionine, [tryptothane] tryptophane , protein [harmones] hormones , vitamins and other nutrients in amounts of from 36% to 59%. The nutrient is fabricated by forming in a first step the nutrient in a beadlet form, and in a second step coating the nutrient beadlet with the second region.
Claims14
A stomach chamber by-pass beadlet comprising:
- a. first core portion being in an amount of [from 36% to 59%] more than 40% by weight of the total weight of said by-pass beadlet comprising at least one active ingredient digestible in a stomach chamber and selected from the group consisting of animo acids, fats, peptides, hormones, medicaments, vitamins, microorganisms, minerals, enzymes and combinations thereof;
- and,
- b. a second coating portion substantially surrounding and coating said first core portion and which is substantially indigestible in a first ruminant stomach chamber but substantially digestible in a stomach chamber and intestines after said first stomach chamber comprising at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of stearic acid, palmitic acid and combinations thereof.
A stomach chamber by-pass beadlet having a coated core, the core of said beadlet having an approximately beadlet shape and comprising at least one material digestible in a stomach chamber and selected from the group consisting of animo acids, fats, peptides, hormones, medicaments, vitamins, micro-organisms, minerals, enzymes and combinations thereof in an amount [from 36% to 59%] from 40% to 59% by weight of the by-pass beadlet, said core having a coating substantially surrounding said core, said coating being substantially indigestible in in a first ruminant stomach chamber but substantially digestible in a later stomach chamber and intestines, said coating comprising at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of stearic acid and palmitic acid and combinations thereof, said beadlet having a specific gravity of approximately from 0.8 to 1.2.
A stomach chamber by-pass beadlet having a coated core comprising:
- a. the core of said beadlet having an approximately beadlet shape and comprising at least one material digestible in a stomach chamber and selected from the group consisting of animo acids, fats, peptides, hormones, medicaments, vitamins, micro-organisms, minerals, enzymes and combinations thereof in an amount of from .Badd.36% to 59%].Baddend. more than 40% by weight of the by-pass beadlet;
- and,
- b. said core having a coating substantially surrounding said core, said coating being substantially indigestible in a first stomach chamber but substantially digestible in a later stomach chamber and intestines, said coating comprising at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of stearic acid and palmitic acid and combinations thereof, said beadlet having a diameter of approximately from one-half to two millimeters.
