Methods of feeding ruminants involve positioning the feed blocks in a pasture accessible to the ruminants. The feed block may have a total fat content of about 7 wt % to 33 wt % and an intake modifier to control intake of the feed blocks. High fat pellets having a high total fat content provide at least a portion of the fat in the high fat feed blocks. The methods control a rate of ingestion of high fat feed blocks by ruminants while not negatively affecting performance, and in some instances, ingestion of the blocks results in improved performance.

Spent bleaching earth from edible oil processing can be used in the formulation of salt and mineral lick blocks and pellets for livestock to enhance the health and nutritional value of the feed supplements. Because of the ignition hazard inherent with spent bleaching earth, landfill has been and continues to be the dominant disposal method. By adding salt or brine to the spent bleaching earth upon discharge from the process filters, the hydroscopic property will keep the material safe for handling and economic use as described.

The use of a feed supplement to improve the feed utilisation of a ruminant where said feed supplement is prepared by reacting a prepared precursor, which contains organic acids, with a multivalent cation source to precipitate a reaction product, where:the prepared precursor is prepared from a plant precursor selected from the group consisting of an undried fermentation by-product, an undried fermentation product, undried acidic plant material and an undried pomace; andthe prepared precursor contains C3/C4 organic acids.
