A mineral supplement is described herein that has a high mineral and/or nitrogen content and is capable of being formed into a pellet. The mineral supplement may comprise a heat sink that absorbs heat during processing, thus facilitating the formation of the mineral supplement as a pellet.

Mineral feed supplement

A system for measuring starch gelatinization in a feed production system. The system includes a feed production system configured to generate an extruded feed from a feed mixture using a combination of steam and pressure to cook the feed in an extruder, a near infrared spectrometer configured to measure a degree of starch gelatinization for the extruded feed, and a starch gelatinization measurement engine configured to generate a measurement of the degree of starch gelatinization in the extruded feed.

System and method for measuring starch gelatinization

A system for generating optimized values for variable inputs to an animal production system. The system includes a simulator engine configured to receive a plurality of animal information inputs and generate a performance projection. At least one of the animal information inputs is designated as a variable input. The system further includes an enterprise supervisor engine configured to generate first and second optimized values for the at least one variable input. The first optimized value is generated based on an optimization criteria and the second optimized value is generated based on empirical feedback after application of the first variable input.

System and method for optimizing animal production based on empirical feedback

A system for generating an animal feed formulation based on environmental nutrient inputs. The system comprises a simulator engine configured to generate a set of animal requirements in view of environmental nutrients received by an animal based on characteristics of the animal and a formulator engine configured to receive the set of animal requirements and generate an optimized animal feed formulation based on the animal requirements.

System and method for optimizing animal production based on environmental nutrient inputs

A system for and method of determining a formulation for an animal feed having a customized nucleic acid material content. The system can include an animal profile, an animal nutrient requirement profile, an evaluation criteria, and/or ingredient nutrient content profiles. The information contained in the profiles and criteria can be used to calculate a formulation having a desirable nucleic acid material content. The optimized nucleic acid material content can be used to maximize satisfaction of an evaluation criteria.

System for and method of customizing an animal feed based on nucleic acid material content

Animal feeds, which include compositions utilizing mucosa byproducts derived from mucosal material, such as digested gut material, are provided. The feeds can include a mucosa byproduct which contains at least about 10 wt. % nucleic acid material; at least about 20 wt. % mucopolysaccharides; and no more than about 10 wt. % proteinaceous material. The mucosa byproduct is produced by a process which includes digesting animal mucosal material to form a mucosal digest; and separating the mucosal digest to provide (a) a protein-enriched stream and (b) a polyanionic-enriched stream, which includes mucopolysaccharides and nucleic acid material.

Animal feed composition

The present invention provides stabilized pancreas products useful, for example, as an animal feed additives. The invention also provides for feed additives and feed rations comprising a stabilized pancreas product. Further, the invention provides for methods of making stabilized pancreas products. The present invention also provides for methods of supplementing an animal feed utilizing stabilized pancreas products.

Stabilized pancreas product

A system for and method of determining a formulation for an animal feed having a customized heat increment value. The system can include an animal profile, an animal nutrient requirement profile, an evaluation criteria, and/or ingredient nutrient content profiles. The information contained in the profiles and criteria can be used to calculate a formulation having a desirable heat increment value. The heat increment value can be used to maximize satisfaction of an evaluation criteria.
