Formulated animal feeds having excellent digestibility with high energy and good protein content based on lactose-rich whey products are produced by supplementation with small quantities of water insoluble poly-N-acetyl- beta -D-glucosamine glycosides having a molecular weight of at least 5,000 and are fed to farm type animals. Most of the formulated feeds contain at least 7% lactose and up to 5% poly-N-acetyl- beta -D-glucosamine glycoside in addition to the usual protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral constitutents of the feed. For poultry, which are among the least efficient metabolizers of lactose, such feeds may contain 5-25% lactose.
