Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A therapeutic composition of matter in the form of a substantially rigid block for use in controlling or preventing bloat in animals, said composition comprising an effective amount of the product obtained by reacting together molasses, magnesium oxide, and a nonionic polyoxyalkylene surface active compound so as to obtain the reaction mixture in substantially rigid form, the surface active compound being one of formula R.sup.1 - O -- CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -O -- .sub.n H wherein R 1 is a linear C 9-18 alkyl group and n lies in the range 10 to 30 inclusive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A therapeutic composition of matter in the form of a substantially rigid block for use in controlling or preventing bloat in animals, said composition comprising an effective amount of the product obtained by reacting together molasses, magnesium oxide, and a nonionic polyoxyalkylene surface active compound so as to obtain the reaction mixture in substantially rigid form, the surface active compound being one of formula R.sup.1 - O -- CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -O -- .sub.n H wherein R 1 is a linear C 9-18 alkyl group and n lies in the range 10 to 30 inclusive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of molasses is in the range of from 45% to 75%, the amount of polyoxyalkylene compound is in the range from 10% to 20% and the amount of magnesium oxide is in the range of 10% to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of said reactants.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A composition of matter according to claim 1 and comprising in addition a quantity of a source of inorganic phosphate in the range of from 5% by weight to 300% by weight based on the total weight of starting materials.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method of controlling or preventing bloat in ruminant animals which method comprises supplying to said animals in a therapeutically effective quantity a feed supplement composition according to claim 1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process of supplying animals with a source of phosphate, said process comprising supplementing the diet of said animals with an effective amount of a composition according to claim 3.
