Claims
- 1. An oil-in-water emulsion for treating hay, milo, or silage, to coat same with a generally water-resistant coating, said composition consisting essentially of the following components in the following ratios by weight, later diluted with a sufficient amount of water to enable spreading over harvested material to be coated:
- (a) about 16 to about 20 parts of soybean oil;
- (b) about 16 to about 20 parts of an emulsifier containing acetylated monoglycerides;
- (c) about 1 to 1.5 parts diethanolamine;
- (d) about 1 to 1.5 parts of an emulsifier containing polyenthylene glycol-8-oleates;
- (e) about 1 to 2 parts glyceryl triacetate;
- (f) about 0.25 to about 1.0 parts of a polyacrylamide emulsifier; and
- (g) about 0.5 to about 2.0 parts propionic acid.
- 2. An oil-in-water emulsion concentrate for forming an emulsion solution usable for coating hay, milo, or silage to generate a water resistant coating thereon; said emulsion concentrate consisting essentially of the following by volume:
- (a) about 16 to about 20% soybean oil;
- (b) about 16 to about 20% of an emulsifier containing primarily acetylated monoglycerides;
- (c) about 1.0 to about 1.5% diethanolamine;
- (d) about 1.0 to about 1.5% of an emulsifier containing primarily polyethylene glycol-8-oleate compounds;
- (e) about 1.0 to about 2.0% glyceryl triacetate;
- (f) about 0.25 to about 1.0% of a polyacrylamide emulsion;
- (g) about 0.5 to about 2.0% propionic acid; and
- (h) about 64 to about 52% water.
- 3. A method of forming an oil-in-water emulsion for use in coating hay, milo, or silage, comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a first mixture by mixing diethanolamine with water;
- (b) preparing a second mixture by mixing an edible oil with an acetylated monoglyceride emulsifying agent;
- (c) mixing said second mixture with said first mixture, producing in a third mixture; and
- (d) adding an oil-in-water emulsion-forming effective amount of the following to said third mixture:
- (i) a polyethylene glycol-8-oleate emulsifying agent;
- (ii) glyceryl triacetate; and
- (iii) a polyacrylamide emulsifying agent.
- 4. A method of forming an oil-in-water emulsion for use in coating hay, milo, or silage to introduce water resistance therein, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a first mixture by mixing diethanolamine with water;
- (b) preparing a second mixture by mixing an edible oil with an acetylated monoglyceride emulsifying agent;
- (c) mixing the second mixture into the first mixture, to result in a third mixture;
- (d) adding an oil-in-water emulsion-forming effective amount of the following to the third mixture:
- (i) a polyethylene glycol-8-oleate emulsifying agent;
- (ii) glyceryl triacetate; and
- (iii) a polyacrylamide emulsifying agent; and
- (e) adding, very slowly, an antimicrobial-effective amount of a preserving agent to the mixture resulting from Step (d).
- 5. A method of preparing a composition for use in treating hay, milo, or silage; said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a first aqueous mixture of casein, water and a base;
- (b) mixing a second aqueous mixture of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and water;
- (c) adding triacetin and a polyethylene glycol 400 emulsifier to said second mixture;
- (d) adding the second mixture to the first mixture; and,
- (e) adding a preserving agent to the mixture resulting from step (d).
- 6. A method of preparing a composition for use in treating hay, milo, or silage; said method consisting of the steps of:
- (a) preparing a first aqueous mixture consisting essentially of casein, water and a base;
- (b) mixing a second aqueous mixture consisting essentially of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and water;
- (c) adding triacetin and a polyethylene glycol 400 emulsifier to said second mixture; and
- (d) adding the second mixture to the first mixture.
