Abstract: A process for preparing a feed supplement composition for ruminants, comprising the following steps: (a) heat treating cleaned grains at temperatures ranging from 80° F. to 350° F., for 30 to 120 seconds; (b) transporting the heat treated grains to a vented steeping tank, through a flow control system; (c) combining the heat treated grains with a nitrogenous compound, in the vented steeping tank, using a dosage ranging from 10 kg to 100 kg of nitrogenous compound/tonne of grains; (d) allowing cool air to enter the steeping tank transforming portions of the liquid nitrogenous compound into steam; (e) allowing the steam to flow upwards in the steeping tank; (f) steeping a mass flow of the heat treated grains combined with a mixture of steam and liquid solution of the nitrogenous compound, at a controlled flowrate with an infeed temperature ranging from 100-310° F. and an outfeed temperature ranging from 90-280° F.

Abstract: A process to obtain a feed supplement composition for ruminants comprises the steps: a) cleaning whole raw grains, b) heat treating the whole grains, c) transporting the heat treated whole grains to a vented steeping tank through a flow control system, d) spraying a nitrogenous compound, from a compound tank with a flow control system, into the steeping tank, over the heat treated whole grains, e) crushing the heat treated grains combined with the nitrogenous compound, f) cooling the heat treated and crushed grains in a cooling drum, g) optionally further spraying the nitrogenous compound into the cooling drum, over the heat treated and crushed grains, and h) recovering the feed composition. A feed supplement composition for ruminants, obtained through the above described process, containing: a) at least one variety of raw grains, combined with b) a 5 to 40% nitrogenous compound.
