Methods and compositions for obscuring medicines formed as tablets, capsules, pills, and so forth may be presented in clean packaging, with built-in work space on a substrate, film layer. A flexible paste, gum, putty, or malleable and formable treat material may be folded without touching the actual treat composition on its outermost surface. A medicament set onto a location on a surface of the composition may then be folded inside by folding, molding, or otherwise manipulating the composition, thus forming a sealed morsel, leaving no residue (e.g., powder, scent, taste, etc.) of the medicament on the outer surface of the composition when administered to a pet.

Compositions and related methods are provided to protect lipids such as oilseeds and algae, and other bioactive aliments from ruminal degradation. The lipids are protection by creating a matrix of cross-linked and denatured proteins using enzymes and other protein crosslinking agents.

A process of encapsulating or coating amino acid particles is provided for producing an encapsulated amino acid feed product for ruminant animals. The encapsulated amino acid feed product comprises substantially uniform, round and dust free pastille granules. When the encapsulated amino acid feed product is fed to a ruminant animal, the product delivers high amounts of absorbable amino acid to the animal for direct nourishment, wherein the amino acid is not substantially fermented in the rumen of the animal. In an aspect, the process is a low-cost, high capacity, continuous process that produces a composition comprising greater than 50% by weight of a nourishing amino acid. The superior handling quality of the pastille granules allows for their use in further formulation of animal feeds, where homogeneous distribution of nutrients throughout the final feed mix is desired.

Provided is a method for producing a rumen-bypassing preparation which is produced at a low cost and simultaneously achieves the objects of protecting an active ingredient from release and decomposition in the first stomach and increasing release behavior in a target internal organ. A granular agent obtained thereby is also described. The method includes a step of applying vibration to a die head containing a melt of a coating agent for the rumen-bypassing preparation and a nutrient to bypass a rumen and having at least one injection port or to the melt, thereby injecting the melt from the injection port.
