WHAT IS GRAIN ROASTING?

Roasting is a process that sterilizes and pre-digests the grain which increases total daily nutrition. Toxic enzymes and molds are slowed by the process of roasting.

BETTER CORN DIGESTION

In Iowa State University trials, undigested kernel passage was 14% for artificially dried corn, 11% for high moisture corn, and 2% for roasted corn.

ROASTED SOYBEANS ARE A NATURAL

Soybeans are naturally rich in high energy oils, naturally well balanced with body-building protein, and naturally high in essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements. There is no better protein.

ROASTING BEANS & CORN FOR POULTRY

Roasting beans and corn for poultry produces excellent benefits, better health grade and yield, while enhancing the broilers’ flavor. Commercial egg layers maintain a better and longer lay with fine quality eggs, from producer to consumer, with a savings of four pounds of feed per one hundred head per day.

Egg size on #1 Large outrank expected production on unroasted grain. Why? Fat content of whole soybeans is a huge source of concentrated energy. Breeders have better production, hatchability and livability.

Chicks, ducklings and goslings are more contented, healthier and happier when molds are destroyed and toxins are retarded.

ROASTING GRAINS FOR BEEF

Roasting makes it possible to get more nutritional value into every mouthful of dry matter through gelatinization of the grain which makes it more digestible.

¨ Cattle gain faster on less feed

¨ Cattle have slicker coats

¨ Cattle produce better yield and grade.

ROASTED SOYBEANS IN DAIRY RATIONS

Dairymen are reporting these results:

¨ Increase in butter fat

¨ Increased milk production on less feed

General improvement in herd health, appearance, less vet expense, healthier calves.

Improved results are also attained by roasting corn.

Cows fed whole heat-treated soybeans in early lactation produced about 800 pounds more milk per 305-day lactation than those fed soybean meal, according to a study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

ROASTED FULL FAT BEANS

vs. SOYBEAN MEAL

There are benefits from utilizing roasted full-fat soybeans in place of soybean meal. When you use roasted full-fat soybeans:

¨ Pigs gain 8 to 10% more rapidly

¨ They require about 10% less total feed/pound of gain, and

¨ There is no effect (neither good nor bad) upon carcass quality.

You can use roasted full-fat soybeans in place of soybean meal, on a protein equivalent basis, in any place you would use soybean meal.

Feeding roasted full-fat soybeans in place of soybean meal is not outdated! In fact, it is smart to roast your own full-fat soybeans.

How large should you be to justify roasting full-fat soybeans? It is a good rule of thumb that if you market at least 500 head of hogs a year, you could afford to own a roaster. Furthermore, you might be able to interest neighbors who would be delighted to buy roasted full-fat beans from you.

ROASTING GRAINS IS THE BIGGEST BREAKTHROUGH IN LIVESTOCK FEEDING THAT’S EVER HAPPENED.
