A product in powder form having a dry matter content of at least 90% by weight on its total weight and containing lactose in a quantity of at least 85% by weight on its total weight, as well as having a high bulk density; moreover a process for the production of this product in powder form is disclosed, comprising the steps of vacuum-concentrating a lactose-containing liquid, mixing the so-concentrated liquid with a lactose-containing powder and with a high dry matter content and, finally, drying the so-obtained powdered mixture.

This invention relates to the development of products that are alternatives to antibiotics with medically important human therapeutic uses for livestock meat and protein production efficiency. These products will be used to replace antibiotics used to rapidly increase lean muscle mass with specific feed regimens. The present invention is for the identification of non-human antibiotic products to be used with different feed regimens for livestock growth and meat promotion that include prebiotic supplements and keystone species probiotics that produce the desired growth promotion phenotypic effects. The present invention includes the identification of enterotypes that can be used as targets for recapitulation by compounds that are screened to produce the desired phenotype.

A process and composition for animal feed supplements without substantial foul odor problems prepared by reacting neat, a calcium metal source selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide with a low molecular weight volatile fatty acid selected from the group consisting of butyric acid, isobutyric acid, 2 methyl butyric acid, valeric acid and isovaleric acid. Under controlled reaction conditions (neat) and a controlled weight ratio of the two reactants a product that is substantially odor free and useful as an animal feed supplement results.
