Abstract

Dry-heat expansion or "popping" of grains has been investigated as a method for increasing the digestibility of cereal grains for feedlot use. In-vitro data for different processing conditions show greatest starch digestibility associated with high initial moisture level and greatest degree of expansion. Comparison of in- vitro digestibility of popped milo with atmospheric-steamed and flaked or pressure-cooked and flaked milo indicates that the popped product is digested more slowly. Popping does not increase the amount of water- soluble material appreciably nor decrease the apparent availability of lysine, but does lower the amount of extractable protein. In-vivo ruminant feeding tests showed that popped grains performed as well as steamed and rolled or pressure-cooked and rolled grains
