Abstract
A low inclusion animal feed binder composed of ozonated lignosulfonate. The ozonated lignosulfonate is a reaction product of lignosulfonate and ozone prepared by treating lignosulfonate with 2-20% ozone by weight of lignosulfonate solids at an initial pH of 2 to 12 and at a temperature of 5° to 100° C. The binder is incorporated with the animal feed in an amount from 0.01 to 2% by weight of dry feed.
