A process for an animal feed supplement includes the steps of mixing liquid substrate (12, 14) and a dry substrate (22) at a liquid:dry ratio of about 1.0:1.0 to about 3.0:1.0 to form a slurry in mixing chamber (30); drying the slurry in a continuous flow dryer (42) having mixing capabilities and a source of moving hot air to about 1 wt.% - 10 wt.% moisture. The animal feed supplement which results from the process is characterized by generating less than 20 pm of ammonia in the gases above a 100 gram sample immediately after heating for 1 minute in a 1000 watt microwave. The liquid substrate is selected from materials such as glutamic acid fermentation bamboos and fermented molasses solubles (FM) and mixtures thereof. The dry substrate is selected from: wheat middlings and similar materials. The animal feed supplement is palatable to cattle under hot conditions (temperatures around 100 DEG F). The animal feed supplement reduces the likelihood of milk fever feed at a rate of from about 1.5 to about 2.5 pounds/day. |
