摘要:
Liquid dietary compositions for ruminants are disclosed, as well as methods for their preparation and use. The compositions may include a fatty acid component, at least one feed ingredient, and water. The fatty acid component may include less than about 10% by weight of unsaturated fatty acid. The feed ingredient may be selected from a carbohydrate, an amino acid, an amino acid derivative, a vitamin, a trace element, a mineral, a glucogenic precursor, or an antioxidant. The compositions may also include about 25% by weight to about 55% by weight of water.

Dietary compositions for ingestion by ruminants and methods for feeding the dietary compositions to ruminants are disclosed. The dietary compositions may include ruminant feed products having at least one saturated fatty acid component including at least about 90% of a palmitic acid compound. The ruminant feed product may be fed to the ruminant according to a feed program that is based on physical characteristics and/or a time period associated with the ruminant. For example, an amount of the ruminant feed product fed to the ruminant may be based on the calving cycle and/or lactation cycle of the ruminant and one of a body weight or a milk yield of the ruminant. Ingestion of the ruminant feed product by a ruminant according to the feed program may increase the milk yield and/or the milk fat content of milk produced by the ruminant.
摘要:
Feed compositions, methods of preparing such compositions, and methods of feeding such compositions are described. A feed composition may include a core and a first coating layer disposed around at least a portion of the core. The core may include at least one carbohydrate component and at least one protein component. The first coating layer may include a fatty acid component having at least about 90% saturated fatty acid by weight.
摘要:
Solid dietary compositions for ruminants are disclosed, as well as methods for their preparation and use. The compositions may include a fatty acid component and at least one feed ingredient. The fatty acid component may include at least about 90% saturated fatty acid by weight and may be present in the dietary composition in an amount of at least about 30% by weight of the dietary composition. The at least one feed ingredient may be selected from a protein material, an amino acid, an amino acid derivative, a vitamin, a trace element, a mineral, a glucogenic precursor, and an antioxidant. The dietary composition may be a solid in the form of a capsule, a tablet, a pellet, or a granular material.
摘要:
Dietary compositions containing at least one carbohydrate are described herein, as well as methods for their preparation and use. A premix dietary composition may include a fatty acid component and a carbohydrate component. The fatty acid component may include at least about 90% saturated fatty acid by weight. The fatty acid component may be present in the dietary composition in an amount of at least about 30% by weight of the dietary composition.
摘要:
Dietary paste compositions for ruminants are disclosed, as well as methods for their preparation and use. The dietary paste compositions may include least one saturated fatty acid compound and at least one carrier component. The methods of preparation may include contacting the at least one saturated fatty acid compound with the at least one carrier component to form the dietary paste composition.
摘要:
Silage compositions are described herein, as well as methods for their preparation and use. A silage composition may include a fatty acid component comprising at least about 70% saturated fatty acid by weight and a fermented component. The fatty acid component may be present in the silage composition in an amount of at least about 10% by weight of the silage composition.
