Cook Fresh Corn Kernels For Making Pig Feed !

A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !

It is feasible to cook fresh corn kernels first, then crush them and mix them with other added materials to make pig feed !
The reasons for cooking the corn kernels are as follows :

Benefits of cooking

- Improve digestibility :
When the corn kernels are cooked, the macromolecular substances such as starch inside will undergo gelatinization and their structures will become loose. This makes it easier for pigs' digestive systems to decompose and absorb them, helping to improve the utilization rate of the feed. For example, the starch granules in raw corn kernels are tightly bound, and it is difficult for digestive enzymes to fully contact and break them down after pigs eat them. However, after cooking, digestive enzymes can play a better role !

- Destroy anti-nutritional factors :
Corn kernels may contain some anti-nutritional factors, such as trypsin inhibitors. The cooking process can destroy these anti-nutritional factors and reduce their negative impact on the growth and health of pigs !

- Improve taste and palatability :
Cooked corn kernels have a better taste and aroma, which can enhance pigs' appetite, making them more willing to eat the feed, thus increasing the feed intake and contributing to the growth and development of pigs !
