Cooked Corn Flour - Feed Ingredient

Cooked corn flour is a finely ground product made from whole corn that has been subjected to a thermal treatment process, such as steam cooking or extrusion, before or during milling. This processing alters the starch structure, making it more gelatinized and increasing its digestibility compared to raw corn flour.

In equine feeds, cooked corn flour is primarily used as a high-energy ingredient due to its elevated starch content. The cooking process improves palatability and enhances starch availability, which may aid in energy utilization and feed efficiency. It is often included in textured or pelleted feed formulations to contribute to caloric density.
