Liquid feed supplement for monogastric animals

摘要

A liquid feed supplement includes a blend of aromatic flavoring agents in a fat-miscible liquid base and liquid fats. In the preferred form of the invention, the liquid fats are a blend of one source of fatty acids having a carbon chain length between 2 and 21 carbon atoms and a second source of fatty acids having a carbon chain length between 14 and 21 carbon atoms. The best results have been obtained with a propionic acid base solution for the flavoring agents; coconut oil for the first fat source; and a blend of corn and soy oils for the second fat source. The supplement not only increases the production performance, but also overcomes caloric satiety so as to increase total feed intake in monogastrics.
