ABSTRACT:
A low cost process is used to make animal feed blocks from by-product residues of the corn and cotton industries. The first and liquid materials to be placed in a mixer include condensed fermented corn extractives, molasses, and hot water (all at approximately 110.degree. F.). The mixer is started, and a suspending agent, such as clay, is added to keep both the above and the later added ingredients in suspension. The clay should preferably be added before fat and any dry ingredients are added. Next, animal fat, vitamins, and other ingredients are added with the mixer running. Cottonseed meal is used as a rehydrating material to take up free water and thereby reduces the amount of water available to react with nitrogen, and in turn, reducing the amount of liberated ammonia. The pH is carefully controlled to be highly alkaline, for causing consumption limiting by the animal ingesting the feed block. After the ingredients are added, the mixture is brought to a temperature which is preferably approximately 140.degree. F. Then, all of the ingredients are mixed for approximately two minutes, after which the mixture is placed in corrugated cardboard boxes, to remain in inventory until the resulting feed blocks reach a suitable hardness.
