SOLID ANIMAL FEED SUPPLEMENT ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE There is disclosed an animal feed supplement in solid, block form which is sufficiently palatable to permit its free choice feeding and which contains a carbohydrate ingredient to supply the energy requirements for maintenance and weight gain of the animals. The feed supplement blocks also\contain a high level of nitrogen as nonprotein nitrogen of natural protein to function as a supplementary protein source. The feed supplement includes solidifying ingredients comprising a phosphate and an oxide or salt of a metal such as aluminum magnesium of calcium, in quantities sufficient to solidify the supplement into solid, block form. The preferred metal ingredient is calcium as the oxide and/or sulfate. The composition can also contain an edible fat or oil and a fat emulsifying agent in sufficient quantity to prevent separation of the fat from the product. Other components which can, optionally, be included in the block include limited quantities of trace minerals, antibiotics and vitamins. The fat component can also contain an anti- oxidant to inhibit degradation of the product. The composition permits the in situ reaction of the phosphate source and the alkaline earth metal ingredient. Typically, the ingredients are heated and stirred to disperse the solid components and maintained at a moderate temperature, e.g., about 95 degrees F., for a period of approximately 30 minutres, at which time the mixture thickens substantially. The mixture is then poured into molds or packages and permitted to solidify, reaching a sufficient integrity in a period of from 8 to 10 hours to permit the products to be stacked on pallets for storage and shipping.
