Summary:The present invention relates to a composition for feeding a ruminant comprising i) a non-protein nitrogen compound, and ii) a coating surrounding the non-protein nitrogen compound, wherein said coating comprises one or more layers of a mixture of a saturated fat and a fatty acid, and said coating comprises from 60 wt.-% +/-10% to 85wt.-% +/-10% of the saturated fat, e.g. hydrogenated fat, and from 15wt.-% +/-10% to 40 wt.-% +/-10% of the fatty acid, each based on the total weight of the coating; a process for the preparation of said composition and its uses, e.g.,for improving nitrogen utilization in a ruminant.
