International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

426 74

Abstract:

A process for preparing a fatty acid calcium salt ruminant feed supplement product which contains an incorporated methionine hydroxy analog calcium salt additive. The dietary product can function as a rumen bypass feed supplement, and permit a beneficial increase in the nutrient fat content of the feed.

Appl. No.:

7/853967

Inventors:

Alfredo Vinci - Dayton NJ
Kenneth R. Cummings - Skillman NJ

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

426 74

Abstract:

In one embodiment this invention provides a process for preparing a feed supplement product which contains C. sub. 14 -C. sub. 22 fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt and a propionate glucogenous ingredient as essential constituents. The feed product can function as a rumen bypass composition, and permit the beneficial increase of the nutrient fat content of the ruminant feed ration, and facilitate metabolic glucose formation by gluconeogenesis during the digestive cycle.

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23P 100

US Classification:

426488

Abstract:

In one embodiment this invention provides a process for preparing a deodorized fatty acid salt feed supplement. Primary amine reagent is added to a process medium in which C. sub. 14 -C. sub. 22 fatty acid with a content of malodorous carbonyl compound is converted into a deodorized C. sub. 14 -C. sub. 22 fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt product.

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

426 72

Abstract:

This invention provides an improved process for the production of fatty acid metal salts. An essential feature of the process is the use of a combination of basic alkaline earth metal and alkali metal compounds as salt-forming reagents. A product of the invention process is a fatty acid salt dietary supplement composition which contains one or more additional biologically active nutrient or medicament ingredients.

Kenneth R. Cummings - Skillman NJ

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23K 118

US Classification:

424438

Abstract:

This invention provides a dietary fatty acid salt product in granulated form which optionally contains one or more additional nutrient or medicament ingredients. The dietary product can function as a rumen bypass animal feed supplement, and permit a beneficial increase in the nutrient fat content of the feed. An important aspect of the invention is the encapsulation of the granules with a polymeric coating which functions as an impermeable barrier to one or more volatile organic compounds contained in the core matrix.

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

554156

Abstract:

This invention provides an improved process for the production of a fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt product which have little or no content or glyceride ingredient. An essential feature of the process is the pre-blending of glyceride-containing fatty acid feedstock and basic alkaline earth metal compound, before mixing with water and heating the mixture to initiate salt-forming and glyceride-hydrolyzing reactions. The fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt product can be recovered in the form of tackless free-flowing dust-free granules.
