Abstract:
Feed additive compositions for ruminants containing (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated vegetable oil and hydrogenated animal oil each having a melting point of higher than 50° C. and lower than 90° C.; (B) not less than 0.05 wt % and not more than 6 wt % of lecithin; (C) not less than 30 wt % and less than 65 wt % of a biologically active substance; (D) not less than 0.01 wt % and less than 0.8 wt % of a natural vegetable oil; and not less than 0.1 wt % and less than 6 wt % of water exhibit high protection in the rumen and are also superior in dissolution in the lower gastrointestinal tract.
Abstract:
Feed additive compositions for ruminants containing (A) at least one selected from hydrogenated vegetable oil and hydrogenated animal oil each having a melting point of higher than 50° C. and lower than 90° C., (B) lecithin, (C) a biologically active substance, (D) a natural vegetable oil, and water, wherein when a scattering profile is measured after maintaining at 40° C. for 15 min, and then measured by further maintaining at 40° C. for 30 min by a small-angle and wide-angle x-ray scattering method, a peak having the maximum peak intensity in a region where the scattering angle 2θ is not more than 5° has a ratio (t/s) of 0.9-1.1 wherein s is peak intensity when maintained at 40° C. for 15 min and t is peak intensity when maintained at 40° C. for 45 min, and a peak having the maximum peak intensity in a region where the scattering angle 2θ is 17°-23° has a ratio (y/x) of 0.7-0.9 wherein x is peak intensity when maintained at 40° C. for 15 min and y is peak intensity when maintained at 40° C. for 45 min, have high protection in the rumen and are also superior in dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract.
Abstract:
An evaluating method includes an evaluating step of evaluating a state of ketosis in postpartum dairy cows for a dairy cow using at least one value of concentration values of Ala, Arg, Asn, Asp, BCAA, Cit, Cys, Glu, Gln, Gly, His, Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, 3MeHis, Orn, Phe, Pro, Ser, Tau, Thr, Trp, Tyr, and Val and concentration values of ALB, ALT, AST, BHBA, BUN, Ca, gGTP, Glc, NEFA, T−Bil, TCHO, TG, and TP in blood of the dairy cow before parturition.
Abstract:
A feed additive composition includes a protective agent, lecithin in an amount of 0.05 to 6% by weight relative to a total weight of the composition, a basic amino acid in an amount of at least 40% by weight and less than 65% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and water. A method of producing a feed additive composition includes preparing a molten mixture of at least one protective agent, lecithin and at least one basic amino acid, and solidifying the molten mixture by immersing the molten mixture in water or an aqueous liquid. The protective agent includes hydrogenated vegetable oils and/or hydrogenated animal oils having melting points of greater than 50° C. and less than 90° C.
Abstract:
Dispersion type feed additive compositions for ruminants, containing (A) at least one selected from hydrogenated vegetable oil and hydrogenated animal oil each having a melting point of higher than 50° C. and lower than 90° C., (B) not less than 0.01 wt % and not more than 6 wt % of a surfactant, (C) not less than 16 wt % and not more than 72 wt % of a biologically active substance (excluding L-lysine and a salt thereof), and (D) not less than 1 wt % and not more than 40 wt % of L-lysine or a salt thereof, contain a biologically active substance at a high concentration, show high protection in the rumen, and are also superior in dissolution in the intestinal tract.

Abstract:
A feed additive composition includes a protective agent, lecithin, an acidic or neutral amino acid, and water. A method of producing a feed additive composition includes preparing a molten mixture of a protective agent, lecithin, and an acidic or neutral amino acid, and immersing the molten mixture in water or an aqueous liquid to obtain a solidified mixture. Feed additives may be obtained by such method. The protective agent may include a hydrogenated vegetable oil or hydrogenated animal oil having a melting point of higher than 50° C. and lower than 90° C.
