Puffed corn has several applications in pig feed.

Puffed corn as a ruminant Animal Feed has several benefits:

1. Improved digestibility: Puffed corn undergoes high-temperature treatment, causing the particles to expand, making starch and protein easier to digest and absorb. This can improve the utilization of feed by ruminant animals and reduce wastage.

2. Improved feed palatability: Puffed corn particles are soft and easy to chew and swallow, increasing the appetite and feeding efficiency of animals.

3. Increased feed energy: Puffed corn has a high energy density, providing more energy to ruminant animals to meet their energy requirements.

4. Reduction of anti-nutritional factors in feed: Puffing can destroy some anti-nutritional factors in feed, such as cellulose and non-starch polysaccharides, thereby reducing interference with animal digestion and nutrient absorption.

5. Improved feed safety: The high-temperature treatment of puffed corn can effectively kill bacteria, parasites, and fungi in feed, reducing the risk of animal infection.

In summary, puffed corn, as a feed for ruminant animals, has benefits such as improved digestibility, enhanced palatability, increased energy, reduced anti-nutritional factors, and improved safety. This can improve the production performance and health of ruminant animals.
