ABSTRACT:
A calcium supplement for animals comprising one or more coatings over a calcium-containing core. The coatings provide additional nutrients as well as providing a moisture-resistant outer coating to reduce the hygroscopic effects of the calcium-containing core. The supplement comprises calcium-containing core particles, calcium chloride for example, each particle having an animal nutrient coating over an outer surface of the core particles. The supplement further comprises a second coating, urea, deposited over the nutrient coating, and a final outer coating comprising one or more fatty acids or paraffinic hydrocarbons that are agreeable to animals. The method for making a calcium supplement for animals comprises coating calcium-containing granules with a layer of nutrients and then spraying molten soluble urea onto the previously coated calcium-containing granules which are sufficiently cool to solidify the molten material into second coating on the granules. A third coating of one or more fatty acids or paraffinic hydrocarbon is sprayed onto the urea coating.
