Claim:
A process for the production of a particulate medicated animal supplement comprising the steps of: culturing Streptomyces aureofaciens in a first fermentation medium to produce chlorotetracycline in a fermentation broth; reducing said fermentation broth to obtain fermentation solids comprising said chlorotetracycline; drying said filtration solids to produce a dry solid; granulating said dry solid to produce granulated fermentation solids; screening the granulated fermentation solids to arrive at a first group of granulated solids corresponding to a desired mesh size and a second group of solids which do not correspond with the desired mesh size; and adding the second group of solids to a second fermentation broth having Streptomyces aureofaciens in a second fermentation medium, wherein the first group particle size ranges from about 80 mesh to about 10 mesh.
