Perfil granulométrico e digestibilidade do amido da silagem de milho submetida a diferentes processamentos / Grain size profile and starch digestibility of corn silage submitted to different processing

Abstract

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o perfil granulométrico da silagem de milho (Zea Mays L.) confeccionada com e sem a utilização de cracker nas peneiras 10,15 e 20 mm. O experimento realizou-se no município de Nova Erechim, extremo Oeste de Santa Catarina. Utilizou-se o Delineamento de Blocos Casualizados (DBC) em esquema de parcela subdividida (2x3), com quatro repetições, sendo que na parcela principal foram

“…The KPS (Kernel Processing Score) test, intended to verify harvesting efficiency, is very effective, reports Heidrich et al (2023);, the objective of the test is to determine the degree of processing of the grains, using a 4.75mm sieve, the value obtained is the percentage of starch processed to the point of passing through the sieve. KPS levels above 70% indicate excellent processing, levels between 50% and 70% indicate adequate processing and levels below 50% indicate a low degree of processing (Buriol et al 2021) Silva et al (2022.…”

“…Reports Buriol et al (2021) the tests are complete, as the cup test helps in decisionmaking at the time of harvest and allows some precise adjustments, while the KPS test is more specific and allows an evaluation only after opening the silo, allowing you to observe mistakes made and make necessary changes to correct them in the next harvest.…”

“…Heidrich et al (2023) Reports that the assessment of starch content in feces aims to observe the digestibility of the grain and is the answer to demonstrating that starch is not digestible (Buriol et al 2021).…”
