## Abstract

Compositions containing as their main ingredient phospholipids of vegetable origin, preferably from soybean oil, are used by dispersing in water and spraying on to siloed forage to prevent mould formation therein.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of inhibiting mould in siloed grasses comprising applying thereto an aqueous dispersion of a composition comprising phospholipids of vegetable origin in mixture with other substances of vegetable origin selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids and glucosides.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A method according to claim 1 wherein all the components are derived from soybean processing.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A method according to claim 1 wherein the individual ingredients are present in the following proportions:
Phospholipids: 40-60%
Vegetable oils: 30-35%
Polyethyleneglycol esters of fatty acids: 9-20%
Glucosides: 1-5%.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A method according to claim 1 wherein the individual ingredients are present in the following proportions:
Soybean phospholipids: 50%
Polyethyleneglycol esters of soybean oil fatty acids: 15%
Soybean oil: 33%
D-sorbitol: 2%.
