Abstract 1. THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING A NON-HYGROSCOPIC FREELYFLOWABLE SELF-PRESERVING ANIMAL FEED COMPONENT COMPRISING A COMBINATION OF WHEY CULTURED WITH A LACTOBACILLUS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS AND LACTOBACILLUS BULGARICUS FERMENTED WITH CORN GERM MEAL COMPRISING THE COMBINATION OF THE STEPS OF: FIRST, PROVIDING A QUANTITY OF WHEY HAVING LESS THAN 10% SOLIDS AT 90* F. TO 130* F., SECOND, PROVIDING A CULTURE OF LACTOBACILLUS IN SAID QUANTITY OF WHEY TO PROVIDE INOCULATED WHEY, SAID LACTOBACILLUS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF LACTOBACILLUS BULGARICUS AND LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS AND MIXTURES THEREOF, THIRD, MAINTAINING SAID INOCULATED WHEY AT 80* F. TO 130* F. UNTIL ITS PH REACHES 2.4 TO 3.8, THEN, FOURTH, REDUCING THE LIQUID CONTENT OF THE RESULTANT CULTURED WHEY UNTIL IT HAS A SOLIDS CONTENT OF 40% TO 52%, THEN SUBSEQUENTLY, BLENDING SAID PRODUCT WITH CORN GERM MEAL TO PROVIDE 40% TO 60% OF TOTAL SOLIDS AS CORN GERM MEAL SOLIDS AND DRYING TO A MOISTURE CONTENT OF 12.0% TO 14.0% AT A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 150* F., AND AERATING AND COOLING AND CURING IN A HOLDING BIN FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS TO PROVIDE A TEMPERATURE BELOW 60* F. AND A MOSITURE CONTENT BELOW 12.5%. AND FERMENTING THE PRODUCT OF THE FOURTH STEP WITH SAID CORN GERM MEAL DURING AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE PERIOD DURING WHICH SAID BLENDING, AERATING AND COOLING AND CURING STEPS ARE CARRIED OUT TO PROVIDE SAID NONHYGROSCOPIC FREELY-FLOWABLE SELF-PRESERVING ANIMAL FEED COMPONENT.
