ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a unique livestock supplement which has characteristics that favor the enhanced digestion of fiber consumed by livestock, particularly ruminants such as cattle. The enhanced digestion may be due to a unique combination of selected ingredients that have been proven to increase the amount of fiber that a ruminant animal consumes. The order in which these ingredients are included may have a significant impact on the product's ability to perform. The supplement includes a method of consumption control that provides for a more thorough measuring of product intake. The method includes the ability of the product to be fed in a way, which encourages equal access of the product to the livestock. The combination of the ingredients and the method in which the animal consumes these ingredients, along with the access to them, may prove to be the reason for the increase in the amount of fiber a ruminant animal is able to consume while having this supplement available.
