| 摘要 |
Feedstuffs for ruminants comprising a water insoluble salt of an edible higher fatty acid and optionally a further nutritional material, especially a proteinaceous feedstuff such as soya bean meal, are produced by forming a mixture of a basic oxide such as calcium oxide, a fatty acid, and optionally the further nutritional material under conditions such that the nutritional material when present is impregnated with fatty acid, adding water to the mixture, and allowing the oxide to react with the acid to form the water insoluble salt. The still hot reacting mixture is spread out so that sufficient water evaporates spontaneously to give a friable product. The process may be operated continuously. |
