Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rumen-protected carotenoid animal feed product is described that is free-flowing, resistant to ruminal degradation and effective at raising the carotenoid level in milk produced by the animal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of increasing the level of a carotenoid in the milk of a ruminant animal by protecting the carotenoid against degradation in the rumen of the ruminant animal, comprising the steps of: (a) heating a solid oil above its melting point; (b) admixing a carotenoid ester-containing oleoresin into the melted oil; (c) cooling the mixture until it solidifies; (d) mechanically processing the solid mixture into an animal feed composition; and (e) feeding the animal feed composition to a ruminant animal wherein the level of the carotenoid in the milk of the ruminant animal is increased. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising admixing a carrier combined with the oleoresin and solid oil. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of feeding the animal feed composition to a ruminant animal is at a rate to deliver between 50 g and 150 g of carotenoid ester per day to the ruminant animal.
