Publication number: 20200345038Abstract: A process of encapsulating or coating amino acid particles is provided for producing an encapsulated amino acid feed product for ruminant animals. The encapsulated amino acid feed product comprises substantially uniform, round and dust free pastille granules. When the encapsulated amino acid feed product is fed to a ruminant animal, the product delivers high amounts of absorbable amino acid to the animal for direct nourishment, wherein the amino acid is not substantially fermented in the rumen of the animal. In an aspect, the process is a low-cost, high capacity, continuous process that produces a composition comprising greater than 50% by weight of a nourishing amino acid. The superior handling quality of the pastille granules allows for their use in further formulation of animal feeds, where homogeneous distribution of nutrients throughout the final feed mix is desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2018Publication date: November 5, 2020Applicant: Archer Daniels Midland CompanyInventors: Shireen S.
