Abstract:
1. A method of producing a feed additive composition, comprising: preparing a molten mixture of at least one protective agent, lecithin and at least one of L-lysine and a salt of L-lysine; solidifying the molten mixture by immersing the molten mixture in water or an aqueous liquid; adjusting a water activity of the solidified mixture to 0.25 to 0.6; wherein: the at least one protective agent comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogenated vegetable oil having a melting point of greater than 50° C. and less than 90° C. and a hydrogenated animal oil having a melting point of greater than 50° C. and less than 90° C.; the at least one protective agent is present in the molten mixture in an amount of from 39.5 to 59.5% by weight; the lecithin is present in the molten mixture in an amount of from 0.05 to 5% by weight; and the at least one of L-lysine and the salt of L-lysine is present in the molten mixture in an amount of from 40 to 60% by weight.
