‘Electrified’ maize silage is a useful pig feed
It enables the complete maize plant to be used in pig feed. The pig as a monogastric animal cannot normally make use of some components in the feed, as it does not possess the enzymes to break down the fibres in maize, for example, and extract feed value from them.
Big Dutchman’s Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology is used in liquid feed mixing systems to make the entire maize plant nutritionally available for pigs, which normally depend on the cob only for feed value.
