Pennfield sponsored experiments at two universities in 1995 showed similar improvements in Rumen Availability using Super Flaked Com. Balancod Ration wit! Snpar Flako Gam WHY IS SUPER FLAKED CORN BETTER? Flat rolled steam flaking disrupts the cellular structure of the corn kernels (gelatinization) and increases sites for microbial attachments resulting in improved starch (carbohydrate) digestion in the rumen. In simple terms, the cow uses more of the nutrients because the rumen bugs can get to them and much less corn nutrient goes out in the manure.
