Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to ruminant feed supplements, and more particularly to ruminant feed supplements comprising at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient embedded within a fatty acid mixture.
- anionic/cationic salt nutrients present drawbacks that inhibit them from effectively providing ruminants with the nutrition that they are intended to deliver. These drawbacks may include poor palatability, poor handling and/or poor flowability. For example, potassium carbonate is very
- potassium carbonate dissociates in water into potassium and carbonate ions. This dissociation is a highly exothermic reaction that can cause heat damage to the surrounding environment, and can potentially cause fire. Potassium carbonate has also been found to be unpalatable to some ruminants. The applicants have found that there remains a need for formulations of anionic/cationic salt nutrients that overcome drawbacks such as poor palatability, poor handling and poor flowability.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides a ruminant feed supplement comprising at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient embedded within a fatty acid mixture.
- the ruminant feed supplement is preferably in the form of a solid prill.
- the at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient is selected from the group consisting of potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and a combination thereof.
- the at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of potassium carbonate.
- the fatty acid mixture preferably comprises palmitic acid.
- Other constituents of the fatty acid mixture may include, for example, one or more of stearic acid and hydrogenated vegetable oil.
- the fatty acid mixture comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of palmitic acid and at least one hydrogenated vegetable oil (e.g., hydrogenated soybean oil).
- the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) are in the form of a "core" (i .e., an aggregate of salt nutrient particles) that is surrounded by the fatty acid mixture.
- individual particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) are homogeneously, or substantially homogeneously, distributed throughout the fatty acid mixture.
- the ruminant feed supplement may further comprise an outside coating (i .e., an outer layer surrounding the solid fatty acid mixture that has the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) embedded therein), wherein the coating also comprises a fatty acid mixture.
- Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for making the ruminant feed supplement comprising coating a molten fatty acid mixture (e.g., a molten mixture comprising palmitic acid and at least one hydrogenated vegetable oil) onto an aggregate (or "core") of particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) (preferably potassium carbonate).
- the method comprises mixing a molten fatty acid mixture (preferably comprising palmitic acid) with at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient (preferably potassium carbonate) to form a blend, and forming a prill from the blend.
- the method further comprises coating the prill with a fatty acid mixture, which also preferably comprises palmitic acid.
- the present invention provides compositions and methods for delivering anionic/cationic salt nutrients to ruminants, which help overcome the poor palatability, poor handling and/or poor flowability of these nutrients.
- anionic/cationic salt nutrients to ruminants, which help overcome the poor palatability, poor handling and/or poor flowability of these nutrients.
- anionic/cationic salt nutrient is a salt nutrient that functions either as an anionic or cationic salt nutrient; of course, the nutrient as it exists as a chemical compound is typically a compound with positively-charged and negatively-charged ions, and may have no net charge.
- a ruminant may need an anionic or cationic salt nutrient supplement depending on its nutritional needs at a given time (e.g., a pre-calving ruminant will likely need an anionic salt supplement, whereas a post-calving ruminant will likely need a cationic salt supplement).
- Non-limiting examples of cationic salt nutrients include potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate.
- Non-limiting examples of anionic salt nutrients include calcium chloride and magnesium chloride.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides a ruminant feed supplement comprising at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient embedded within a fatty acid mixture.
- the ruminant feed supplement is preferably in the form of a solid prill .
- the anionic/cationic salt nutrient by itself (i.e., without being mixed or formulated with other ingredients) has poor palatability, poor handling and/or poor flowability.
- potassium carbonate is not only unpalatable to ruminants, but it is also very hygroscopic, which makes it difficult to deliver as a powder supplement because the particles easily become damp and stick together to form aggregated clusters of the potassium carbonate particles.
- Potassium carbonate is also a potential fire hazard, as the dissociation of potassium and carbonate ions in water is a highly exothermic reaction.
- Embodiments of the ruminant feed supplement of the present invention provide palatable formulations of potassium carbonate (and/or other anionic/cationic salt nutrients) that are easier to handle and have better flowability compared to potassium carbonate by itself.
- ruminants are animals that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a chamber of the digestive system called a rumen. Ruminants include, for example, cattle, goats and sheep. According to preferred embodiments, the ruminants are dairy cows.
- a "prill” is a solid aggregate of material and is intended to include, without limitation, agglomerates, pellets or extrudates.
- the prill can be formed by conventional means, such as roll compaction, extrusion or pelletizing. Any known equipment can be used, for example, any known roll compactor, disc pelletizer, extruder or pellet mill .
- the prill may be any shape or size, but preferably has a circular or cylindrical shape. Regardless of its shape, the prill preferably has a diameter (or length, in the case of a cylindrical or other non-circular shape) of appropriate size to ensure that it remains homogenous with other feed constituents for feed typical for cattle, swine and poultry.
- the diameter (or length) of the prill is between about 1 mm and about 10 mm, or between about 2 mm and about 5 mm, or between about 2 mm and about 4 mm, or between about 2 mm and about 3 mm.
- the term "embedded” means that solid particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) are fixed within a surrounding solid mass of the fatty acid mixture.
- the solid mass of fatty acid mixture completely surrounds the aggregated anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles that form the core, such that the anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles are not in contact with the outside surface of the ruminant feed supplement (i.e., the anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles do not form part of the outside surface of the prill).
- individual particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) are not homogeneously, or substantially homogeneously, distributed throughout the fatty acid mixture.
- a "core" of anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles refers to an aggregate of anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles, i .e., a cluster of individual anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles that have become aggregated, agglomerated or stuck together.
- the core may be any shape or size, but preferably has a circular or cylindrical shape. The core should not be too large such that it would easily separate from other feed constituents for cattle, swine, and poultry, as mentioned above, but it must also be sufficiently large such that it can be easily coated.
- the diameter or length of the core is between about 0.5 mm and about 5 mm, or between about 0.5 mm and about 4 mm, or between about 0.5 mm and about 3 mm, or between about 0.5 mm and about 2 mm, or between about 1 mm and about 5 mm, or between about 1 mm and about 4 mm, or between about 1 mm and about 3 mm, or between about 1 mm and about 2 mm.
- individual particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) are homogeneously, or substantially homogeneously, distributed throughout the fatty acid mixture. Stated another way, the individual particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) are evenly, or substantially evenly, dispersed throughout the prill . In accordance with these embodiments, small amounts of anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles may form small aggregates and still be evenly, or substantially evenly, dispersed throughout the prill.
- the "ruminant feed supplement” of the present invention provides one or more anionic/cationic salt nutrients to ruminants, but it is not a complete feed.
- a "concentrate feed” is an industrially produced mixed feed which has a high concentration of a certain substance (e.g., protein concentrate feed, mineral concentrate feed, energy concentrate feed, amino acid concentrate feed, etc.).
- the ruminant feed supplement of the present invention is fed to ruminants in addition to (i) roughage and (ii) one or more complete feeds and/or one or more concentrate feeds.
- the present invention provides a ruminant feed product comprising a combination of one or more complete feeds and/or one or more concentrate feeds in addition to a ruminant feed supplement of the present invention (i.e., the ruminant feed supplement of the present invention may be packaged together with one or more complete feeds and/or one or more concentrate feeds as a combination feed product).
- Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for making a ruminant feed supplement in accordance with any of the embodiments described herein.
- the method is used to make a prill that has a concentrated "core" of aggregated anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles inside the prill (e.g., at or near the center of the prill), wherein the core is surrounded by a solid mass of the fatty acid mixture that does not contain any anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles (or that contains only a negligible amount of anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles).
- the method comprises coating a molten fatty acid mixture (e.g., a molten mixture comprising palmitic acid and at least one hydrogenated vegetable oil) onto an aggregate (or "core") of particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) (e.g., potassium carbonate).
- a molten fatty acid mixture e.g., a molten mixture comprising palmitic acid and at least one hydrogenated vegetable oil
- an aggregate or "core” of particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) (e.g., potassium carbonate).
- the molten fatty acid mixture is formed by heating the fatty acid mixture to a temperature that causes the mixture to liquify.
- the fatty acid mixture may be coated onto the core according to any method; for example, by spray coating.
- Spray coating of the molten fatty acid mixture onto the aggregated particles of anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) is preferably performed while the aggregated particles are in motion; for example, while the aggregated particles are in motion in a rotating drum, or in motion in a fluidized bed reactor.
- the core Prior to coating the fatty acid mixture onto the core, the core may be formed by applying pressure to the anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles when they are in powder form; for example, by placing the anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles (in powder form) through a roll compactor which applies pressure to the powder and causes the particles to agglomerate together to form the core,
- the method is used to make a prill in which the individual particles of the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) are evenly, or substantially evenly, dispersed throughout the prill .
- the method for making the ruminant feed supplement may comprise mixing a molten fatty acid mixture with at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient to form a blend, and forming a prill from the blend (e.g., by pelletizing/extruding). This means that the fatty acid mixture is melted and mixed with the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s). After the anionic/cationic salt nutrient(s) become dispersed so that they are evenly, or substantially evenly, dispersed throughout the molten fatty acid mixture, the mixture is pelletized/extruded and cooled (in any order).
- the at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient is selected from the group consisting of potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and a combination thereof.
- the at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of at least one cationic salt nutrient selected from the group consisting of potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and a combination thereof.
- the at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of at least one anionic salt nutrient selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and a combination thereof.
- the at least one anionic/cationic salt nutrient comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of potassium carbonate.
- the ruminant feed supplement is in the form of a prill that has a "core" of aggregated anionic/cationic salt nutrient particles surrounded by a solid mass of the fatty acid mixture
- the ruminant feed supplement may comprise, for example, sufficient fatty acid mixture to ensure complete coverage of the core so that it remains protected in the rumen, but not an excessive amount of fatty acid mixture as one will want to avoid diluting the impact of the nutrient benefit of the core.
