ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a stable thixotropic suspension of water insoluble animal feed nutrients in an aqueous sugar solution. The method comprises incorporating an ammonium phosphate, sulfate or mixture in an aqueous sugar solution in a sufficient quantity to form a gel, controlling the pH of the gel to a value from about 6.5 to about 7.5 and adjusting the water content of the mixture to provide a viscosity to the product from about 4,000 to about 10,000 centipoises. The resultant gel is an excellent carrier for the suspension of water insoluble nutrients such as, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, or insoluble drugs such as monisan. The gel provides a very stable suspension of the water insoluble nutrients, providing shelf life stability in excess of 12 weeks over a wide range of temperature. High temperature stability of the suspension can be further enhanced by including in the supplement a dispersing agent such as gellatinized starch, an alkali metal alginate or a montmorillonite or kaolin clay.
