Abstract
Improved milk replacer and dry feed compositions for young mammals are provided that employ a high quality inedible egg product to minimize or eliminate the need for milk source ingredients. These improved compositions include one or more high quality inedible egg products in an amount from about 1% to 100% of the total weight of the composition. The balance of these improved compositions may consist of any ingredient(s) in any combination when such composition is capable of meeting or exceeding the nutritional requirements of the species to be fed. One aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing a high quality inedible egg product. This invention also provides an improved diet program wherein a young mammal is initially fed a milk replacer according to the present invention, and then when it is time to wean the animal of the milk replacer, a dry feed according to the present invention is introduced. This improved diet program allows a caretaker to wean the young mammal quickly with no deleterious effects in terms of the health or growth of the mammal. Animals fed these improved compositions benefit from a significant reduction in the incidence of disease and a significant increase in the rate of weight gain compared to young mammals fed prior art milk replacer formulations.
