Abstract: Particles of untreated citrus byproduct consisting of dried citrus peels and pulp can be used to absorb certain useful liquid animal feed additives up to 125% of the dried peel's weight, thereby acting as an effective and efficient absorbent carrier. Stated another way, a citrus peel/liquid animal feed mix may be produced which contains up to 55% by weight liquid animal feeds, with only a 45% by weight, citrus peel carrier. The resulting mixtures are an effective and easy handling means to introduce desired commercial animal feed additives into animal feeds with a carrier that has good palatability to livestock and poultry. These mixtures are dry and free flowing.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the partial chemical neutralization of organic acids to make compositions used in animal nutrition. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of a cooled reactor to prepare aqueous compositions of partially neutralized organic acids by a continuous or semi-continuous method of reacting an alkali with an organic acid dispersed or dissolved in an aqueous system. The alkali source is present in an amount less than the stiochometric amount required for complete neutralization of the organic acid.

Abstract: A unique combinations include acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ethylenediamine dihydriodide (EDDI), potassium iodide, sodium acetate, and sodium diacetate, useful in helping poultry, swine, and cattle overcome certain symptoms after vaccination. The inventive combinations readily dissolve in water at room temperature to form an effective concentration for inclusion in the animal's drinking water.
