An improved, continuous process for the production of animal feed supplements
including an apparatus for carrying out such process is provided. Broadly, the
process includes continuous preparation of a preblend including molasses and vegetable
fat, followed by continuous cooking of the preblend in an elongated cooking zone
and batch cooking assembly. The cooked preblend is then continuously treated for
removal of moisture and partial cooling thereof, whereupon dry ingredients (e.g.,
vitamins and protein sources) are added and the resultant feed supplement is continuously
cooled and packaged.
