Reducing the particle size of grains increases the ratio of surface area to volume which provides digestive enzymes greater access to nutrients, therefore improving utilization of the feed. Hammermills are a very cost-effective method of reducing grains to very fine particle sizes for feeding. A variety of settings can be changed on hammermills to achieve a target particle size. Thus, the objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of screen hole diameter, hammer tip speed, and the inclusion of a sieving agent on the particle size of corn. Treatments were arranged in a 4 × 6 × 2 …

Previous research has demonstrated the benefits of including large grain particle size in poultry diets on gizzard and gastrointestinal tract development. However, including these larger particles may decrease pellet integrity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of coarse corn inclusion level on pellet quality. A corn soybean meal-based finisher broiler diet with 1.5% mixer added fat was used in this experiment. Treatments were created by replacing 600 μm corn with 1,200 μm coarse rolled corn at 0, 10, 20, or 30% of the diet. Mash treatments were pelleted using a 30-horsepower pellet mill (Model 1012-2 …

Whole yellow dent #2 corn was ground using two 43 mm Andritz hammermills (Model: 4330-6, Andritz Feed & Biofuel, Muncy, PA; JBS Live Pork LLC Feed Mill, Fremont, IA). Both mills discharged to a shared plenum where samples were collected via a sample port. Each mill was equipped with 72 hammers and 300 HP motors on a variable frequency drive (VFD). Corn was ground on 3 separate days to create replication and treatments were randomized within replication. Treatments were arranged in a 3 × 3 × 3 factorial design with 3 tip speeds (12,383, 16,323, and 20,263 ft/min); 3 screen …
Decreasing Corn Particle Size Increases Metabolizable Energy When Fed To Gestating Sows, Gage E. Nichols, Caitlin E. Evans, Julia P. Holen, Rachel N. Kort, Haley K. Wecker, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk

Previous research has demonstrated that reducing the particle size of corn improved metabolizable energy (ME) utilization in many phases of swine production. One phase that has had limited research thus far is the gestating phase for sows. The objectives of this paper were to determine the effects of corn particle size on the digestibility of gross energy (GE), and determine the digestible energy (DE) and ME in gestating sow diets. A total of 27 sows during the second phase of gestation (d 40 to 74) were chosen and fed a common diet with corn ground to 1 of 3 target …
