Correct particle size benefits animal performance

Feed producers must be concerned about the composition of the cereal grains in the feed and also closely manage the processing steps so that the animal may fully utilise the nutrients. Particle size reduction is an aspect that is of major importance, since it increases the surface area of the grain and thus allows for greater interaction with digestive enzymes. It has been studied for many years now, but still new data become available. By Dick Ziggers Particle size analysis is the study of th
