The present invention relates to the use of benzoic acid prills in the feed industry. Despite of having a reduced surface area/volume ratio, the benzoic acid prills as used in the context of the present invention release benzoic acid faster than benzoic acid flakes. Compositions comprising such prills are useful for balancing the microflora in an animal's gastro-intestinal system, for acidification of feed and/or urine, and/or for reducing digestive disorders of an animal. 1. Method of producing benzoic acid prills , said method comprising the steps:(i) providing particles by spray cooling molten benzoic acid;(ii) removing non-spherical particles from the particles provided in step (i).2. Method according to claim 1 , wherein step (i) is done by spraying molten benzoic acid into a gaseous cooling medium claim 1 , and wherein said gaseous cooling medium is preferably air.3. Method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (ii) claim 1 , the difference between the sliding friction of non-spherical particles and the rolling friction of spherical particles is used for separating non-spherical particles from spherical particles.4. Animal food comprising benzoic acid prills.5. Animal food according to claim 4 , wherein said animal food is a feed additive claim 4 , a premix or feed.6. Animal food according to claim 4 , said animal food further comprising at least one essential oil claim 4 , wherein said essential oil is preferably thymol and/or eugenol.7. Process for the preparation of animal food claim 4 , said process comprising the step of adding benzoic acid prills to a composition which can be fed to an animal.8. Process according to claim 7 , wherein said animal food is a feed additive claim 7 , a premix or feed.9. Use of benzoic acid prills for acidification of feed and/or urine.10. Use according to claim 9 , wherein the urine of an animal is acidified by feeding benzoic acid prills to the animal claim 9 , and wherein said animal is preferably a domestic animal claim 9 ...
