Abstract

A composition for feeding a ruminant, including i) a core including a biologically active ingredient selected from i) amino acids, ii) proteins, iii) peptides, iv) carbohydrates, v) vitamins, vi) probiotic microorganisms, vii) prebiotic foods, viii) choline and salts, and ix) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs); and ii) a coating surrounding said core. The coating includes one or more layers of a mixture including from 60 wt %+/−10% to 80 wt %+/−10% of a saturated fat and from 20 wt %+/−10% to 40 wt %+/−10% of a fatty acid, each based on the total weight of the coating. The composition includes from 5 wt %+/−10% to 30 wt %+/−10% of the coating, based on the total weight of the composition.
