Advanced Fermented Animal Feed Nutrition Technology
Legal Citation
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed a solidified form of a fermented product for animal feed, but it had limitations in terms of nutrient uptake and energy efficiency. The present invention addresses these limitations by introducing a controlled calcium source, novel bioactive compounds, and an energy-efficient crystallization process, thereby providing a more effective and sustainable solution for animal nutrition.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new claims introduce a novel system for producing high-nutrient animal feed, which is more efficient, sustainable, and customizable than the original patent. The inventive step lies in the combination of a controlled calcium source, novel bioactive compounds, and an energy-efficient crystallization process, which provides a significant improvement over the prior art.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the invention may include different types of fermentation processes, such as enzymatic or chemical fermentation, or different sources of calcium, such as calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate. The system may also be adapted for use with different types of animal feed, such as poultry or swine feed.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The present invention has significant commercial potential in the animal feed industry, particularly in the dairy and livestock sectors. The improved nutritional value and customizable nature of the animal feed make it an attractive solution for farmers and animal producers seeking to improve animal health and productivity while reducing costs and environmental impact.
