Abstract: A method of making an &agr;-lactalbumin enriched whey protein product is described. The method involves the treatment of a whey protein product with an acid to lower the pH of the whey protein product to 4.0 or below. This pH-lowering step allows the &agr;-lactalbumin molecules to be concentrated more efficiently.

Abstract: A feed supplement is disclosed comprising animal plasma protein and a microbial fermentation product of primarily amylase which are blended and spray dried. Animals fed this supplement during the first seven weeks of life experienced an increase in average daily gain of 45%; an increase of feed intake of 7.3%; and an improved feed efficiency of 26% when compared with a control of feed supplemented with animal plasma protein alone.
