Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A complete feed formulation for domestic animals and poultry which reduces the feed intake when offered on a self-feeding basis, which feed formulation at the time of feeding comprises an admixture of feed nutrient materials and a feed intake control agent, said agent being chloride ion which is present in said feed formulation at a level of from about 1 percent to about 12 percent by weight in excess of the total level of monovalent cations other than ammonium and hydrogen which are present in said feed formulation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A complete feed formulation for domestic animals and poultry which reduces the feed intake when offered on a self-feeding basis, which feed formulation at the time of feeding comprises an admixture of feed nutrient materials and a feed intake control agent, said agent being chloride ion which is present in said feed formulation at a level of from about 1 percent to about 12 percent by weight in excess of the total level of monovalent cations other than ammonium and hydrogen which are present in said feed formulation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
A feed formulation in accordance with claim 1 wherein said agent is present in said feed formulation at a level of from about 1 percent to about 6 percent by weight of the feed formulation in excess of the total level of monovalent cations other than ammonium and hydrogen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A feed formulation in accordance with claim 1 wherein said agent is provided from the group consisting of multivalent chloride salts and ammonium chloride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A feed formulation in accordance with claim 3 wherein said multivalent chloride salts are selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, magnesium chloride and mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

Claim 11
Independent Claim
107 words
A method for controlling the feed intake of domestic animals and poultry which comprises preparing a complete feed formulation for domestic animals and poultry, said feed formulation at the time of feeding comprising an admixture of feed nutrient materials and a feed intake control agent, said agent being chloride ion which is present in said feed formulation at a level of from about 1 percent to about 12 percent by weight in excess of the total level of monovalent cations other than ammonium and hydrogen which are present in said feed formulation, and offering said feed formulation to said domestic animals and poultry on a self-feeding basis.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
107 words
