There is disclosed a solid animal feed supplement block packaged in block form with structural members that subdivide the block. The block has a reduced consumption rate that results from the structural members within the block. The preferred members comprise partitions formed of corregated cardboard which subdivide the block into a plurality of cells. The animal feed supplement can contain a drug and the partitions can provide a convenient measure of the drug dosage, preferably by providing a plurality of solid blocks or cubes each of which provides a premeasured dosage, e. g. , a daily dosage for a single animal.

There is disclosed an animal feed supplement in solid, block form which is sufficiently palatable to permit its free choice feeding and which contains the proper proportions of molasses and/or fat to supply the energy requirements for maintenance and weight gain of the animals. The feed supplement blocks intended for consumption by ruminants also contain a high level of protein derived from nonprotein nitrogen as well as natural protein to function as a supplementary protein source. The feed supplement includes molasses in a major proportion, and solidifying ingredients comprising a phosphate and an oxide or salt of a metal such as aluminum magnesium or calcium, in quantities sufficient to solidify the supplement into solid, block form. The preferred metal ingredient is calcium as the oxide and/or sulfate. The composition can also contain an edible fat or oil and a fat emulsifying agent in sufficient quantity to prevent separation of the fat from the product.

The invention is a sugar solution-based, preferably molasses-based, animal feed supplement which is produced as a viscous liquid that is gelled into a hard solid by the addition of a soluble calcium salt or oxide, preferably calcium oxide, a soluble phosphate, and a substantial quantity of magnesium oxide. Prior to its solidification a limited amount of discrete cellulose fibers can also be added to reinforce the solid and prevent its cracking. The solid product is hard and water resistant and has a limited consumption rate.
