RUMEN-BYPASS FATTY ACID SALT AND PROTEIN DIETARY SUPPLEMENT FOR RUMINANTS

摘要

This invention provides process embodiments for the preparation of a ruminant dietary product comprising a blend of fatty acid salt and denatured protein. Ine one process embodiment, whole proteinaceous oilseed in particulate form is treated with a mixture of basic alkaline earth metal and alkali metal compounds. The oil content of the oilseed is saponified to a fatty acid salt, and the protein content is denatured into a water-insoluble form. The fatty acid salt and denatured protein ingredients of the invention ruminant dietary product have rumen-bypass properties, and are metabolized in the post-rumen digestive tract under ruminant feeding conditions.
