Which feed processing method improves starch digestibility by breaking the protective structure of cereal grains?
Correct answer: A. Steam flaking
- A. Steam flaking
- B. Air drying
- C. Long-term storage
- D. Washing with cold water
Explanation
Steam flaking gelatinizes starch and disrupts grain structure, making starch more accessible to digestive enzymes. Simple drying or storage does not produce the same degree of starch gelatinization.
