  • Method and composition to control rumen release of cobalt to rumen bacteria for making vitamin B12
    Patent number: 10524489
    Abstract: A method and composition which is a unique source of cobalt for enhanced production of Vitamin B12 in the rumen. It has the advantage of a slow release source of cobalt combined with a fast release source of cobalt. The fast cobalt ion release source which is a soluble source of cobalt is turned over faster in the rumen than the insoluble cobalt sources are turned over.

  • Folic acid, metal complexes for rumen by-pass nutritional supplementation of ruminants
    Patent number: 10219528
    Abstract: A method and composition for dietary supplementation of ruminants with folic acid in a manner that assures the folic acid will not be consumed by rumen bacteria and instead will pass through to the intestine and to the animal's blood serum in order to enhance milk production. The folic acid in water is mixed with a water soluble metal salt of zinc, copper, iron or manganese or mixtures thereof to form a metal folate complex.
