This product is particularly intended for feeding young farm animals, for whom high nutrient digestibility is crucial.
Properties and Function:
A key feature of micronized maize flakes is their modified starch structure. As a result of high temperature and IR radiation, the starch undergoes breakdown and swelling, which facilitates the action of digestive enzymes and more efficient utilization of energy contained in the feed.
The product is a concentrated source of easily digestible carbohydrates, while also containing moderate levels of protein and fat.
Analytical Constituents:
- Starch: approx. 60% – main energy source
- Crude protein: approx. 8,5%
- Crude fat: approx. 3,0%
- Crude Fiber: approx. 2,0%
- Moisture: approx. 14,0%
- Crude ash: approx. 1,3%
The balanced profile of ingredients allows the product to be used both as an energy component and a supplementary ingredient in feed mixtures.
Applications:
Micronized maize flakes are primarily used in the feeding of:
- young farm animals (calves, piglets, poultry),
- animals requiring easily digestible dietary components,
- feed mixtures with increased energy value.
Their main advantage is high digestibility, which is why they are recommended in the initial stages of rearing, where maximum utilization of nutrients and reduced burden on the digestive system are crucial.
