Feed for ruminant animals comprising particles of material characterized by being solid, flowable, and hydrolytically stable. The particles comprises: a) from 15 to 95% by weight of the reaction product of at least one metal cation selected from the group consisting of Group Ia and Group IIa elements of the Periodic Table with at least one aliphatic, monocarboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, and b) from 5 to 85% by weight of a granular, edible material, preferably water-absorbing, having a pH sufficiently high that the resulting pH of the mixture with a) is greater than 7.0, the percentages of a) and b) being based on their total dry combined weight, and the particles containing less than 30% by weight of moisture. |
