Chlorinated fats to voluntary limit feed complement intake - by cattle and other ruminants, may also contain meat or fish meal, di:ammonium phosphate or ammonium sulphate

Compsn. contg. a chlorinated fatty substance is claimed, which contains sufficient bound chlorine so that when it is added to a feed complement it limits the ingestion of the complement by ruminants and limits feed consumption. The compsn. may also contain other substances which limit complement ingestion, such as flesh (e.g. fish) or meat meal, diammonium phosphate, ammonium sulphate or their mixts. The bound chlorine content of the fatty substance is pref. 0.2-7.0 wt.%, pref. above 0.5 wt.% partic. 0.9-1.5 wt.%. The fatty substance is usually animal or vegetable fats, which when chlorinated have pH 4.0-7.0. It is economic, when feeding cattle and other ruminants, to limit feed complements (proteins) to the amounts necessary to give good wt.gain or retention. This usually implies controlled rationing, to avoid the cattle eating more complement than is necessary. The present invention allows free-access by the cattle to the complement and automatically regulates the amount ingested. L'INVENTION CONCERNE UNE COMPOSITION POUR LIMITER LA CONSOMMATION D'UN COMPLEMENT ALIMENTAIRE PAR DES RUMINANTS.LA COMPOSITION COMPREND UNE MATIERE GRASSE CHLOREE, DONT LA TENEUR EN CHLORE COMBINE LUI CONFERE CET EFFET DE LIMITATION ET SE SITUE HABITUELLEMENT ENTRE ENVIRON 0,2 ET 7,0 DU POIDS DE LA MATIERE GRASSE. LA COMPOSITION CONTIENT DE PREFERENCE PLUS DE 1,0 EN POIDS DE LA GRAISSE CHLOREE ET EVENTUELLEMENT AUSSI D'AUTRES AGENTS DE LIMITATION COMME DE LA FARINE DE VIANDE, DU PHOSPHATE DE DIAMMONIUM ETOU DU SULFATE D'AMMONIUM.AJOUTEE OU ASSOCIEE A UN COMPLEMENT ALIMENTAIRE (CEREALE), CETTE COMPOSITION PERMET UNE ALIMENTATION LIBRE DU BETAIL, AVEC AUTORATIONNEMENT, EN SUPPRIMANT L'OBLIGATION D'UNE FOURNITURE QUOTIDIENNE DE RATIONS ALIMENTAIRES EN COMPLEMENT, ET EN EVITANT LES RISQUES DE SURALIMENTATION OU DE GACHIS.
