Abstract
Abstract An improved composition has been developed to effectively and efficiently limit protein or feed supplement intake to a prescribed amount in ruminants when added to the supplement and which in turn allows self-feeding of the supplement. The composition contains diammonium phosphate and/or ammonium sulfate, meat meal and oleoresin capsicum.
