Abstract: A method of preparing rumen-protected lipid-soluble nutritional supplements for use in ruminant feeds by inducing the Maillard reaction between a reducing carbohydrate source and de-oiled lecithin in the presence of a lipid-soluble fraction containing one or more lipid-soluble nutritional supplement compounds under reduced pressure conditions. Lipid-soluble nutritional supplement compounds may include lipid-soluble nutraceuticals such as essential oils. The lipid-soluble fraction may further include Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs). Products made by the process, as well as methods for enhancing performance, assisting the induction of pregnancy, alleviating inflammation, modulating fetus growth, improving immune system function, and modulation of the fatty acid composition of meat and milk of ruminant animals are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of preparing rumen-protected polyunsaturated fatty acids (RuPUFAs) for use in ruminant feeds by inducing the Maillard reaction between a reducing carbohydrate source and de-oiled lecithin in the presence of a PUFA under reduced pressure conditions is disclosed. Products made by the process, as well as methods for enhancing performance, assisting the induction of pregnancy, alleviating inflammation, modulating fetus growth, improving immune system function, and modulation of the fatty acid composition of meat and milk of ruminant animals are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of preparing rumen-protected carbohydrates for use in ruminant feeds by inducing the Maillard reaction between a reducing carbohydrate source and a protein source under reduced pressure conditions is disclosed. Products made by the process, and methods for maintaining or restoring blood glucose levels to within the normal reference range for ruminants, especially during transition or under heat stress are also disclosed.
