Abstract
The invention is a method for coating animal feeds; more particularly a method utilizing a coating composition comprising cane molasses for animal feeds which provides a golden brown color and free-flow characteristics to such feeds. In the method, an animal feed is coated with cane molasses and is separately coated with a composition comprising phosphoric acid, phosphate or polyphosphate salts, or various acids. The resulting coating provides a golden brown color, improves the free-flow characteristics and improves tackiness retention of the feed to which it is applied.
