Feedstuffs comprise a nutritional material such as a high protein dietary supplement, carbohydrate, mineral or vitamin, protected by a coating of an edible water insoluble fatty acid salt. Such feedstuffs are capable of resisting the action of bacteria in the rumen of ruminant animals. This water insoluble salt may be formed in situ by reaction of a water-soluble fatty acid salt with a compound capable of forming a precipitate therewith, e.g. a calcium salt. Alternatively, the fatty acid salt may be formed by direct reaction of reaction of the fatty acid with e.g. calcium oxide, and the nutritional material may also be dispersed in the fatty acid salt while the latter is in the molten state. |
