Patent

CA 1326610

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An acidic molasses-based liquid animal feed supplement stock including calcium and magnesium at a calcium to magnesium weight ratio between about 1.5 and 3, and, optionally, non-protein nitrogen, is hardened into a solid form by the addition of a phosphorous-containing compound in a nutritionally appropriate amount. The solid animal feed supplement is sufficiently palatable to permit its free choice feeding, yet discourages overfeeding by its hardness and acidity. The solid feed supple- ment contains sufficient molasses to help meet the energy requirements for maintenance and weight gain of grazing animals, but is sufficiently low in pH to minimize the risk of ammonia poisoning due to breakdown of non-protein nitrogen sources to free ammonia during rumination. Also disclosed is a method for storing a solidifiable molasses-containing animal feed supplement by employing two separate solutions, one containing phosphorous and the other containing molasses, calcium and magnesium. Further disclosed is an aqueous sugar-containing solution.
