In one embodiment this invention provides a process for preparing a dietary fatty acid salt supplement composition which contains a combination of additional nutrient or medicament ingredients. The dietary composition can function as a rumen bypass animal feed supplement, and permit a beneficial increase in the nutrient fat content of the feed.

Production of feed supplement compositions

In one embodiment this invention provides a liquid nutrient formulation which is an aqueous suspension with a high content of nutrient ingredients, and optional ingredients such as medicaments. A primary ingredient of an invention formulation is one or more C.sub.14 -C.sub.22 fatty acid alkali metal or ammonium salts suitable as a high energy supplement for ruminant feedstock.

Liquid nutrient formulations

This invention provides an improved process for the production of fatty acid metal salts. An essential feature of the process is the use of a combination of basic alkaline earth metal and alkali metal compounds as salt-forming reagents. A product of the invention process is a fatty acid salt dietary supplement composition which contains one or more additional biologically active nutrient or medicament ingredients.

Production of dietary fatty acid salt products

In one embodiment this invention provides an improved process for the production of fatty acid calcium salt. An important feature of the process is the utilization of a residual effluent byproduct stream from a sodium bicarbonate manufacturing plant as the aqueous medium of the fatty acid calcium salt-forming reaction process. A product of the invention process is a fatty acid salt dietary supplement composition which contains one or more additional biologically active nutrient or medicament ingredients.
