METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF EXPANDED FEEDER GRAIN Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23K1/14 A23K1/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat treatment of combined fodder in livestock farms and interfarm feed-milling enterprises. The method of production of expanded feeder grain comprises loading, heat treatment and unloading grain in a continuous flow. Before heat treatment the feeder grain is subjected to heating at a temperature of 120-150°C and moistening from 14% to 18-19% for 20-30 minutes in the receiving hopper. The steam for heating is taken from the unloading chamber, in which the expansion is carried out.

EFFECT: use of the proposed method enables to improve the feed value of grain due to its treatment with the exhaust steam for pre-moistening and heat treatment.
