ANIMAL FEED BLOCK AND PACKAGING METHOD

摘要

A method of preparing an animal feed supplement in solid block form. An aqueous feed solution containing aqueous solutions of sugars or proteins or mixtures thereof and mixed with solidifying and nutrient ingredients to prepare an aqueous supplement liquid which contains from 10 to 35 weight percent water. A plastic bag formed of a water soluble plastic film having a thicness from 0.5 to 10 mils and formed of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, ehtylene-vinyl acetate copolymers or alkyl cellulose eaters is placed into a vertical-walled form. The aqueous feed supplement liquid mixture as poured into the plastic bag. The mold containing the feed supplement is stored to permit its contents to solidify. The vertical-walled form is stripped from the resultant solid block to recover a solid block entirely covered by said plastic film.
