摘要:
The present invention relates to an animal feed bolus having two or more sections, wherein each section has a different composition. The different sections of the bolus are formulated to have different release times and/or to provide compositions with different nutritional purposes. Also described herein are methods for manufacturing such boluses, and methods for feeding an animal using such boluses.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to methods of making a feed pellet for an animal by agglomerating at least two ingredients in a first apparatus to form a plurality of nuclei and tumbling the plurality of nuclei in a second apparatus and simultaneously providing additional amounts of the at least two ingredients to the second apparatus, thereby forming a plurality of feed pellets for an animal. The present disclosure also relates to associated feed pellets and systems.
摘要:
The present disclosure generally relates to a fish feed comprising an extruded, pressed, or particulate fish feed pellet and a coating composition surrounding the feed pellet and comprising an oil and a solid particle with a median particle size between 5 µm and 600 µm. In general, the coating composition will include a solid particle selected from the group consisting of wheat gluten, soy protein concentrate, pea protein concentrate, fish meal, concentrated fish soluble protein, feather meal, bentonite, diatomaceous earth, zyolate, ammonium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, algae oil, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
Various embodiments disclosed relate to methods of predicting neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) properties of a feedstuff sample. A method of predicting neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) properties of a feedstuff sample includes collecting a near-infrared spectrum of the feedstuff sample to provide NIR data of the feedstuff sample. The method also includes predicting NDFD of the sample at an elapsed time, NDFD rate of the sample, and/or NDFD extent of the sample from the NIR data using a NIR/NDFD calibration model. Various embodiments provide a method of developing the NIR/NDFD calibration model using in vitro gas production (IVGP). Various embodiments provide a method of predicting digestibility of the feedstuff sample for an animal at a rumen passage rate (eNDF).
摘要:
A premix is disclosed. The premix includes a nitrate compound and salts thereof in the amount of greater than about 50% by weight of the premix. The premix also includes vitamins and trace minerals. The premix is formulated for use in at least one of a gestation or lactation phase of an animal and in an amount of less than about five percent by weight (5.0 wt%) inclusion per metric ton of the premix. A supplement for an animal feed for feeding during at least one of an animal's gestation phase and/or lactation phase is also disclosed. A method for feeding an animal is also disclosed.
