Abstract
A four step method of preparing palatable anionic mineral feed concentrate granules which form storage stable blends with feed rations to prevent parturient paresis in commercial breeding animals, with the four steps comprising: metathetically reacting ammonium sulfate with a molecular excess of magnesium chloride in acidic water to form an ammonium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride anionic salt solution; mixing the anionic solution with comestible proteinaceous feed particles to form damp concentrate particles; mixing the damp concentrate particles with a palatability enhancing molasses binder to form damp concentrate granules; and, drying the granules to form dry palatable anionic feed mineral concentrate granules which exhibit an excess of the strong anions, chloride and sulfate, over the strong cations, sodium and potassium. The attrition resistant granular concentrate composition may be effectively blended with animal feeds to form storage stable feed rations for commercial breeding animals for preventing parturient paresis.
