How does moisture-grade control (target under 13.5%) directly influence the nutritional bioavailability and FCR of Okara Grade-A Corn?

Raw material energy density is a critical driver of broiler and layer performance, which depends on stable grain storage. When moisture-grade control (target under 13.5%) is correct, it reduces lipid oxidation and starch degradation, allowing the bird's digestive system to utilize the full metabolizable energy and prevent aflatoxicity and liver damage (suppressing immune response). Incorporating proactive aflatoxin binder inclusion (bentonite or yeast cell wall) further boosts feed efficiency.

High moisture stress in corn triggers seed respiration, which degrades starch into simpler sugars and water, promoting rapid bacterial and fungal fermentation. By maintaining a dry, low-temperature grain bulk, you prevent this nutritional degradation and ensure the feed provides maximum energy to the birds.
