In the 70–80s of the last century in Soviet Union, USA and Western Europe countries the method was very often used for preparation the natural ingredients in concentrated feeds for pigs, birds and cattle as well as for protein-vitamin additives. However, because of world energetic crisis, the volumes of production the such feeds and additives were decreased.
