BOUND FEED AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

It is intended to provide solid feeds in an arbitrary size, in particular, fish feeds for large-size fishes such as tuna and a process for conveniently producing the same. Namely, a bound feed preferably having a diameter or a major axis of 5 cm or longer which is prepared by secondarily binding one or more solid feeds (preferably at least one of them being a molded article, still preferably a molded article produced with an extruder) together with a component in the form of tablets, granules or powder, optionally together with such a component unstable to heat, to give an arbitrary size. The binding is carried out by adhesion-molding with the use of a hot-melt type adhesive component selected from the group consisting of moisture-containing starch, low-viscosity starch containing a starch plasticizer, moisture-containing saccharides having a degree of polymerization of 10 or less and fats being in a solid state at ordinary temperature. The secondary binding is carried out by enclosing the solid feed in edible a casing such as a capsule or one having a hole in such a size as preventing the leakage of the contents. A process for producing a bound feed characterized by comprising the step of secondarily binding one or more solid feeds. Se pretende proporcionar alimentos solidos de tamano arbitrario, en particular, alimentos para pescado, para pescados de tamano grande como el atun y un proceso para producirlo convenientemente. Particularmente, un alimento aglutinado tiene preferiblemente un diametro o eje principal de 5 cm o mas grande que es preparado por medio de unir secundariamente uno o mas solidos (preferiblemente por lo menos uno de ellos es un articulo moldeado, mas preferiblemente un articulo moldeado producido con un extrusor) junto con un componente en la forma de tabletas, granulos o polvo, opcionalmente junto con un componente inestable al calor, para dar un tamano arbitrario. La union es llevada a cabo por adhesion-moldeo con el uso de un componente adhesivo del tipo de fundido en caliente seleccionado del grupo que consiste de una mezcla que contiene almidon de baja viscosidad que contienen un plastificante de almidon, una mezcla que contiene sacaridos que contienen un grado de polimerizacion de 10 o menos y grasas que estan en un estado solido a temperatura ordinaria. El enlace secundario se lleva a cabo por medio de encerrar el alimento solido en una envoltura comestible tal como una capsula o una que tiene un orificio de tamano tal que evit
