RUMEN BY-PASS COMPOSITION

FIELD OF INVENTION
5The present invention relates to a rumen by-pass composition.
Particularly, this invention relates to a composition comprising a biologically active ingredient and a coating material. The coating material, which comprises cream, protects the biologically active ingredient from rumen ferment~tion but allows the release of the biologically active m~t~ri~l in post-abomasum digestive 10organs. The present invention is further directed to a method of pr~illg the rumen by-pass composition.

BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
15In ~ nl~ such as cattle, sheep and goats a substantial part of biologically active substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, amino acids and if directly ~t1mini~tered orally, are degraded by microorg~ni~m~ in the rumen and therefore not available for use by the 1lllll;l-~ . It has been known for a number of years to coat feed additives for l.. i~.~.lL~, coll~ini~g 20biologically active subst~nçes, with materials which will protect the biologically active substances from degradation by the microorg~ni~m~ in the rumen.

Many such coatings have been proposed in the prior art to protect the biological active substances in the rumen. For example, U.K. Patent 25Application GB 2113521 proposes the use of an edible, water-insoluble fatty acid salt to protect nutritional materials. C~n~ n Patent Application 2,120,891 is directed to the use of a protective substance selected from hardened vegetable fats and oils, hardened animal fats and oils, fatty acid esters, and phospholipids in combination with an enzyme capable of hydrolysing the protective substance.
30Further, C~n~ n Patent 1,214,061 describes aprotective material selected from straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic mono-carboxylic acids having 14 to 22 carbon atoms, hardened vegetable oils and hardened animal oils, and chitosan.

-2-The present invention is directed to an improved rumen by-pass composition which uses cream and cream-co~ il-g m~t~ri~li as the coating material. It has been found, according to the present invention, that the rumen by-pass composition has a higher by-pass value than prior art compositions, thusallowing a higher proportion of the biologically active ingredient to pass undigested through the rumen and thus be available to the rllmin~nt SUMMARY OF INVENTION
According to the present invention, there is provided a rumen by-pass composition. The rumen by-pass composition of the present invention comprises a biologically active ingredient and a coating material. The coating m~tçri~l protects the biologically active ingredient from rumen ferment~tion, but allows the release of the biologically active m~tçri~l in post-abomasum digestive organs. The coating material of the present invention comprises cream or cream-co"~ i"g substances, referred to herein as cream-based m~t~ri~l Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a rumen by-pass composition comprising a biologically active ingredient and a cream-based coating m~t~ri~l In one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a rumen by-pass composition comprising 10.0 to 12.0 parts by weight of a 35 to 40%
bull~lr~l cream and about 1,000 parts by weight of a heat-treated soybean (flaked soybean) product.

Examples of veterinarian drugs, which can be used according to the present invention include drugs such as tetracycline, aminoglycoside, macrolide and polyether antibiotics, ~nth~lmintics such as Neguvon, helminth~gogues such as pipel~ille, and hormones such as estrogen, stilbestrol, hexestrol, lhylol)rotein~ goitrogen and growth hormone.

There is no limitation to the type of biologically substance which can be used according to the present invention, all of such substances are well known to persons skilled in the art.

The coating m~te~i~l according to the present invention comprises cream. The cream can be used as found naturally occurring in raw milk, or can be skimmed from the top of raw milk, by hand or by using any commercially available commercial cream sep~dlol. The sel)afdl~d cream can be used ` ` 21 75002 s without further proce~ing or can be diluted in a carrier liquid prior to use. The exact amount of cream used is preferably as small as possible to achieve a high rumen by-pass product. The amount of cream can, in most cases, be clet~rmined empirically, and it is typically preferable to use 0.50 to 12.0 parts by weight of the cream relative to about 1,000 parts of the biologically active ingredient.

In one example of the present invention, the coating composition comprises from about 0.75 to about 1.25 parts by weight of cream relative to about 1,000 parts of the biologically active ingredient.
In another example of the present invention, the coating composition comprises from about 10 to about 11 parts by weight of crearn relative to about 1,000 parts of the biologically active ingredient.

When the term "cream" is used, it generally refers to cream which has been ~kimmed from the top of milk which has been allowed to stand at room temperature until cream separation is complete. The cream can then be skimmed by hand. Cream can also be obtained from any commercial cream separator unit. This cream contains approximately 35 to 40% bull~rill A
higher or lower bulle,rdl concentration is also useful. This cream can be used directly to coat the biological m~t~ri~l In one embodiment of the present invention the cream is diluted in a carrier fluid prior to coating the biologically active ingredient. The ratio of cream to carrier fluid is from about 0.50 to 2.0 parts cream to from about 40 to50 parts carrier fluid. The carrier fluid can be any suitable inert fluid, for example water or dilute salt solutions. The term "cream" further comprises any milk product co~ ining cream or bull~rdl. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to use whole milk in which the cream has not been sepaldled. The whole milk will provide approximately the same conce"l~dlion of cream and/or bu~. ri1~, as when isolated cream is used and thendiluted in a carrier fluid. Thus when milk is used further dilution is generally ~ 1 75Q02 . . .

not required. Thus, there term "cream-based material" is int~n-1ecl to encompassany coating m~t~ri~l of the present invention which is cream or contains cream.

In one example of the present invention, the coating composition comprises about 0.75 to about 1.25 parts cream or cream-based material to from about 40 to 50 parts carrier fluid.

In a further example of the present invention, the coating composition comprises one part cream to 45 parts of water as a carrier fluid.
In one example of the present invention 1 kg of cream, ~kimmed from raw milk, diluted in 45 kg of water, is used to coat 1 ton of biologically active m~t~ri~l 15In the embo-limenti of the present invention where the cream-based coating composition comprises a cream-based material in a carrier fluid. The amount of coating composition used to coat the biologically active ingredient ranges from 4.05 to 5.2 parts per weight of the coating m~t~ri~l to 100 parts ofthe biologically active ingredient. Thus, the rumen by-pass composition of the 20present invention comprises 4.05 to 5.2 parts by weight of the cream-based coating composition to lO0 parts of the biologically active ingredient. In a further example of the present invention, the rumen by-pass composition comprises 4.075 to 5.125 parts by weight of the cream-based coating m~teri~l to 100 parts of the biologically active ingredient. According to this embodiment25of the present invention the carrier fluid will be driven off usually by evaporation, and thus, the res.llting rumen by-pass composition will comprise from about 0.50 to about 2.0 parts of the cream-based m~t~ri~l per 1,000 parts of the biologically active ingredient.

30In a further embodiment of the present invention, it has been found that a 35% to 40% bullel~l cream can be used directly without dilution to provide an even coating of cream over the biologically active ingredient. When 2~ 7~02 . .

the biological material is a dry m~tçri~l, it was found that there was enough fluid in the cream to provide absorbtion onto the biological material to facilitate the coating of the biological material, without diluting the cream in a fluid carrier.

There is no specific limitation as to the coating method and coating may be made through any common method of coating such as fluidized bed coating, hand coating, melt coating, agitation coating, and spray coating. In one example of the present invention, where the cream-based coating material is cream diluted in a carrier fluid, the biologically active ingredient is spray coated with the cream-based coating material. Following spraying the carrier fluid portion of the coating composition is allowed to evapoldl~ from the biologicallyactive ingredient to provide a dry product or nearly dry product.

In a further example of the present invention heat-processed flaked soybeans are the biologically active ingredient. In this example the flakes can be sprayed with the coating m~tçri~l while the flakes are still warm from the cooking process. In this example it is ple~ d to use the cream directly, without any dilution in a carrier fluid. In this example the dry flakes will readily absorb any moisture in the cream, creating a flaked soybean product therein the pores of the soybean flake are blocked with the cream, protecting itfrom rumen ferment~tion. In this method it was found that the cream should be warmer than the flakes. As an example the flakes can be from about 65 to 70C and the cream can be from about 85 to about 90C.
While this invention is described in detail with particular reference to pre~lled embodiments thereof, said embo~iment~ are offered to illustrate but not to limit the invention.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Cream-Coated Flaked Soybeans, Using Cream Diluted in a Carrier Soybeans are cooked to a m~xi",l-", temperature of 295F for approximately 60 seconds. The soybeans are then transferred into a steel vessel for 30 mimltes to provide the soybeans with extra time to complete cooking in their own heat. The soybeans are then rolled to flake. At this stage, the beans are sprayed with the coating composition. The coating composition comprises a ~ lwe of 45 kg of water and 1 kg of cream. The cream was obtained from raw milk by allowing the milk to stand at room lelllpelalw~e until cream separation was completed. The cream was then ~kimmed from the top of the milk. The coating composition, as described above, was used for coating 1 ton of the flaked soybeans. The flaked and coated soybeans are then allowed to cool. In this cooling period the moisture from the coating composition evaporates, resulting in a dry, flaked and coated product.

Example 2: Cream-Coated Flaked Soybeans, Using Undiluted Cream Soybeans are cooked to a m~imllm temperature of 295F for approximately 60 seconds. The soybeans are then transferred into a steel vessel for 30 minutes to provide the soybeans with extra time to complete cooking in their own heat. The soybeans are then rolled to flake. At this stage, the flakedbeans, which are at a tell~.dlwe from about 65 to 70C are sprayed with the coating composition. In this example the coating composition is cream, which has been heated to a temperature from about 85 to about 90C. The cream was obtained from standard commercial sources and was from about 35% to about 40% butterf~t The cream, 10 to 11 kg, was used for coating 1,000 kg of the flaked soybeans. The dried soybean flakes naturally absorbs the moisture in the cream forming a coating of cream around the flake, protecting the flake from rumen f~rment~tion~ once ingested by a l~ The flaked and coated soybeans are then allowed to cool.
