Composition and process of making an animal feed binder composed of ozonated lignosulfonate

摘要

A low inclusion animal feed binder composed of ozonated lignosulfonate. The ozonated lignosulfonate is a reaction product of lignosulfonate and ozone prepared by treating lignosulfonate with 2-20% ozone by weight of lignosulfonate solids at an initial pH of 2 to 12 and at a temperature of 5 to 100 C. The binder is incorporated with the animal feed in an amount from 0.01 to 2% by weight of dry feed.
