Abstract

A method of improving the efficiency of an animal to convert feed into desirable body tissue involves feeding the animal feed particles having an inner core of nutrients and an outer layer of fat containing antibodies which can protect the animal from contacting diseases that can adversely affect the animal's ability to grow or efficiently convert its feed into body tissue.
