Abstract
A method and a composition for accumulating and the binding of food fats in an animal body gastrointestinal tract. The method and composition rely upon non-biodegradable collagen particles, such as microspheres, having a size of at least two microns and a fat receptor, such as bile, capable of having food fat adhered thereto on the surface of the particles. These particles are sufficiently large so that they do not pass through the surface mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and permit the particles with the food fat to pass through the gastrointestinal tract and out of the body through animal excretion.
