By either method of use, a critical requirement of the feed supplement is that it remain fluid in storage, at the distribution site and particularly at the site of use when fed in liquid form, in order to permit pumping and dispensing. In practice, however, it has been found that the use of certain types of molasses result in gelation of the phosphoric acid-molasses mixtures to non-fluid masses at unpredictable periods following the mixing step. Occurrence of this phenomenon is most prevalent, and most severe, in the smaller liquid storage units located at the feeding site, presumably because of the wide temperature fluctuations to which these smaller storage units are exposed. Obviously, the occurrence of gelation during storage is costly in terms of added material and material handling costs as well as in customer confidence and satisfaction,
,molasses against gelling in storage by a method which is readily compatible with existing equipment and handling techniques.
