ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to animal feed additives. More specifically, the invention is a fowl and livestock feed additive containing an appropriate amount of a dietary electrolyte balance additive powder containing 36% by weight electrolyte along with roughage products and mineral oil.
2. Description of the Related Art
The related art of interest describes various poultry and livestock additives, but none discloses the present invention. There is a need for an animal feed additive which is economical and effective for supplying a proper electrolytic balance for poultry and livestock.
The related art will be discussed in the order of perceived relevance to the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,257 issued on Aug. 26, 1986, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,729,894 issued on Mar. 8, 1988, to Robert G. Teeter describe a poultry feedstuff and drinking water additive for treating heat stress by reducing respiratory alkalosis and enhancing weight gain comprising 0.3 to 3 wt. % ammonium chloride or hydrochloric acid to provide hydrogen ions and 0.5 wt. % sodium bicarbonate in 100 parts of feed containing 48% ground corn grain, 35% of a 44% soybean meal, 6.0% corn oil, 5% meat and bone meal, 1.0% dicalcium phosphate, 0.9% calcium carbonate, 0.5% vitamin mix, 0.3% sodium chloride, 0.2% DL-methionine, 0.1% mineral, and 3.1% ground polyethylene. The feed additive and total feed composition are distinguishable for containing ammonium chloride or hydrochloric acid along with a vitamin mix.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,264,227 issued on Nov. 23, 1993, to Jean-Luc Laroche et al. describes a buffer block containing feed supplement for dairy cattle comprising at least 60 wt. % sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate and/or sodium sesquicarbonate, at least 20 wt. % magnesium oxide, and less than 16 wt. % molasses. Optionally, 0-10 wt. % wheat middlings, 0-5 wt. % calcium carbonate, 0-5 wt. % magnesium sulfate, 0-5 wt. % potassium sulfate, 0-0.10% vanilla flavor, 0-0.20 wt. % iron oxide, and up to 0.1 wt. % vitamin premix. The mixture is mixed in a double ribbon mixer and compressively shaped into blocks. The feed supplement is distinguishable for requiring at least 20 wt. % magnesium oxide.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,645,703 issued on Oct. 18, 1927, to William H. Lapp describes a supplemental poultry food composition comprising 50-51% calcium carbonate, 14% bone and meat meal, 12% bone meal, 5% vegetable charcoal, 4% ferrous sulfate, 4% sulfur, and 10% sodium chloride. The poultry food composition is distinguishable for containing ferrous sulfate and sulfur, but lacking potassium.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,779 issued on Jun. 5, 1984, to Vernon L. Cockerill describes a method and composition for increasing the milk quality of sows and gilts comprising 65 wt. % sodium sulfate, 13 wt. % magnesium sulfate, 12 wt. % sulfur, and 10 wt. % anhydrous sodium sulfate. The composition is added to a complete feed in the amount of at least 0.5 wt. % to maintain the electrolyte balance. The feed composition is distinguishable in lacking the greater quantity added in the present invention and the requirement for magnesium sulfate.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,504,664 issued on Apr. 18, 1950, to Walter Baker describes a feed formula for chickens and domestic animals that depend mainly on a grain and mineral mixture. The poultry feed contains calcium, phosphorus, yeast, iodine, mash material, and mineral oil. Potassium iodide is added in the amount of 0.093 to 0.125 pound per ton of the poultry feed mixture.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,683,664 issued on Jul. 13, 1954, to Alvis E. Greer describes a mineral concentrate as a dietary supplement for animals and poultry comprising the formation of a trace mineral premixture-containing 76.1 wt. % defluorinated calcium phosphate, 10 wt. % manganese carbonate, 5.8 wt. % zinc carbonate, 4.55 wt. % copper carbonate, and 2.8 wt. % potassium iodide. The final mineral concentrate was formed by adding 1 wt. % of the trace mineral premixture to 50 wt. % sodium chloride, 35 wt. % defluorinated calcium phosphate, and 5 wt. % each of calcium carbonate and potassium sulfate. The mineral concentrate composition is distinguishable for its 50 wt. % sodium chloride 35 wt. % calcium phosphate.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,182,755 issued on Jan. 8, 1980, to Larry C. McNeff describes a feed composition and method for feeding poultry and domestic animals which include a chloride ion intake control agent comprising calcium chloride, ammonium chloride, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, magnesium chloride, and mixtures thereof. The control agent for swine is added to 60 to 90 wt. % grain products and 7.5 Wt. % plant products, and minor amounts of protein, molasses, vitamins, and minerals containing 0.35-6.0 wt. % sodium chloride, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate. The control agent composition is distinguishable for requiring chlorides of ammonium, iron, aluminum, and magnesium.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,577 issued on Sep. 10, 1985, to Richard B. Hunt et al. describes a nutritional mineral supplement for animal feeds made by mixing 5-6 wt. % amorphous sulfur, 8-12 wt. % potassium chloride, and 82-87 wt. % langbeinite when prepared by mixing the ingredients, heating to 110-115° C., adding amorphous sulfur with agitation, and cooling. 3-40 lb. of supplement mixture was added to a ton of animal feed. The mineral supplement composition is distinguishable for requiring sulfur.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,560,561 issued on Dec. 24, 1985, to Charles J. Henderson et al. describes a method of preparing a poultry feed supplement composition and the composition for hardening the egg shells by agglomerating a waste lime (calcium carbonate) from a sugar refining process with less than 20 wt. % of beet molasses, cane molasses, wood molasses, citrus molasses, corn steep liquor, invert sugar solution, and mixtures thereof, adjusting the moisture content to 18-23 wt. %, formed into {fraction (1/16)} inch diameter pellets, dried to a moisture content up to 4 wt. %. The poultry feed supplement composition is distinguishable for utilizing lime and various molasses.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,857,332 issued on Aug. 15, 1989, to Brian R. Schricker describes a pelleted composition and method for increasing milk fat in ruminants comprising a sodium or magnesium antacid and an electrolyte selected from the group consisting of potassium, sodium, and chlorine containing electrolytes. The pellets contain 1.5-1.8 parts of potassium and 1.2-1.5 parts chlorine per part of sodium. The potassium must be present in amount to provide 0.8-1 wt. parts per weight part of any magnesium and sodium bicarbonate. Sodium sesquicarbonate and trona can be substituted for sodium bicarbonate. The composition is distinguishable for requiring sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide for only ruminants.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,976,963 issued on Dec. 11, 1990, to Brian R. Schricker et al. describes a ruminant and human feed antacid composition containing potassium, sodium and chlorine in the form of magnesium oxide, sodium bicarbonate, dolomite, sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sodium carbonate, northupite, and mixtures thereof. Electrolyte sources are potassium chloride, langbeinite, potassium bicarbonate, arcanite, potassium hydroxide, potassium phosphates, potassium carbonate, sodium chloride, and mixtures thereof. The weight ratio among elements must be within 10% of 1.65:1:1.35:1.88 of potassium:sodium:chlorine:magnesium. Magnesium is not required. The materials must be ground to 48 to 8 Tyler mesh before agglomerating into pellets. 2 to 5 wt. % bentonite, starch, hydraulic cement or clay binders are required to resist breakage. The compositions are distinguished for adding minerals, phosphates, sodium hydroxide, and magnesium.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,252,346 issued on Oct. 12, 1993, to Vernon E. Krause describes a method for preparing a stable thixotropic animal feed suspension supplement consisting of mixing a sugar solution with 5-14 wt. % starch containing a feed stuff ingredient selected from wheat, corn, milo, and mixtures thereof, and s
