Abstract: A livestock feed supplement block including a molded base and a livestock feed supplement composition compressed into and extending upwardly from the base. The molded base includes a generally cylindrical wall having a radially inwardly extending annular shelf, and a generally circular floor that is integrally formed with the wall to define an upwardly open interior cavity. The floor of the base is configured and arranged to define a downwardly open channel, the opposite ends of the channel being defined by a pair of downwardly open notches in the wall, the channel having a center line disposed away from the center of the generally circular floor. A plurality of upwardly extending pins are located at intervals along the annular shelf of the wall.

Abstract: A method of transporting goods comprises providing a plurality of generally cylindrical containers each having a floor formed with a downwardly open channel disposed away from the center of the floor, positioning a plurality of the containers with their channels parallel to one another on the forks of a forklift, and lifting and transporting the containers on the forklift.

Abstract: A generally cylindrical container includes a floor having a downwardly open channel formed therein with a center line disposed away from the center of the floor. The channel serves to divide the floor into unequally sized first and second sections, and is adapted to receive the fork of a forklift. A plurality of containers may be joined together to form a transportable system, with the channels of adjacent containers disposed generally parallel to one another for receiving the forks of a forklift.

Abstract: A livestock feed supplement providing high by-pass protein, being substantially free of urea and molasses, and providing good palatability. The supplement is formulated using byproducts of grain alcohol fermentation, namely distillers dried grains obtained from the stillage of fermented, dry-milled whole grain, and condensed distillers solubles from such stillage. Standard amounts of other nutritional supplements, including vitamins and minerals, are added to the composition to form the block. The supplement may be compressed and cured into a substantially hard block for free-choice feeding, or packaged in its granular, somewhat moist form for subsequent mixing in livestock feed. The byproducts of the fermentation include natural flavors that provide good palatability without the addition of sweeteners such as molasses.
