description

The invention relates to a feed additive and in particular to an improved form of administration of feed additives, in particular for pets such as pigs, horses, sheep and cattle.

In agricultural practice, it is common to pass on pets to feed vitamins and other feed additives in addition to conventional feed materials. With the feed additives it can be actual feed materials that contain vitamins, trace elements, grain products, molasses, Salt, medicinal preparations such as vermifuge, and other necessary feed materials are formed.

It is known to press such materials in the dry or semi-dry state, to extrude the pressed material and cutting the extruded product into round or square cakes. Such cakes with appropriate Nutrient supplements are laid out in suitable places and taken up by the animals by licking ^

Are such conventional nutritional materials due to Damp from rain, frost or the like, they easily fall apart. This allows the animals to use these materials directly eat them without licking them. This causes an unnecessarily rapid consumption of the nutrient components by the animals.

The object of the invention is to provide a nutrient additive in the form of a hard cake that does not fall apart easily even in adverse weather conditions.

The invention relates to a cake-shaped feed additive, which contains a lining material and a self-setting chemical binder.

The cake according to the invention is preferably served in an open Container, for example a bucket, hardened. The container is then placed in the stable, pen or pasture. The container protects the cake from at least 3 sides, whereby one side remains free and can be licked by the animals can.

According to the invention, the cake-shaped feed additive is produced, by mixing a lining material and a self-setting chemical binder and hardening or setting leaves.

An aqueous urea-formaldehyde mixture is used as the binder preferred. Urea is a common feed additive, so an excess of urea in the mixture can be beneficial. Generally, the binder is used in an amount of from 5 to 35 percent by weight. Such a means leaves can be prepared, for example, by mixing a 6.5 to 11 m aqueous urea solution with formalin, the

030028/0541

Urea solution makes up 35 to 50 percent of the binder. Preferably an acid catalyst is added in an amount of from 2 to 5 percent by weight of the cake. Suitable for this in particular strong acids such as sulfuric acid and orthophosphoric acid. Another option is to use ammonium chloride as a catalyst.

The feed material can be grain, molasses or mixtures thereof and trace elements, vitamins, salt and medicinal preparations, such as vermicelli.

The examples illustrate the invention.

example 1

A feed base in the form of a paste is made from molasses, salt, dibasic ammonium phosphate and URAMEL. Furthermore, a binder with a content of 44.5 percent by weight urea and 34.5 percent by weight formaldehyde, remainder Water is prepared and added to the paste in a weight ratio of 4 parts paste to 1 part binder. Then 0.2 parts of orthophosphoric acid are added as a curing catalyst. The mixture is stirred into a polypropylene bucket poured and left to harden.

The hardened cake is left in the bucket and made available in an animal pen for the animals to lick. The cake remains as a whole even after exposure to rain.

Example 2

According to Example 1, a cake is produced, with a binder with a content of 20.4 percent by weight urea and 34.1 percent by weight formaldehyde, the remainder water. The cake hardens satisfactorily and is also weatherproof.

The feed additive according to the invention is particularly suitable for agricultural purposes and in particular for rearing domestic animals. In addition to farm animals the feed additive according to the invention is also suitable for other animals. Smaller cakes can be used by other pets, such as dogs and cats. Furthermore, the inventive Hardened cakes also in zoos or other places to supplement the usual food offer be used for wild or semi-wild animals.
