This invention is a method for making protein blocks for livestock feeding by mixing together distillers solubles, molasses, and tallow, wherein the distillers solubles constitute the primary ingredient in the protein block and the molasses are only a minor constituent of said protein block; removing water from the mixture of distillers solubles, molasses, and tallow using heat and vacuum, so as to condense the mixture; combining the condensed mixture of distillers solubles, molasses, and tallow with premixtures of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients; pouring the combination of condensed distillers solubles, molasses, and tallow plus nutrient premixtures into molds while the combination is still hot; and cooling the combination to form a protein block. |
