INVESTIGATION OF THE PROCESS OF NEUTRALIZING THE ACIDITY OF CORN EXTRACT

Abstract

The use of by-products of processing enterprises in feed production makes it possible to significantly expand the feed base and reduce the cost of livestock products. one of the by-products of starch production is corn extract, which has a high feed value and contains up to fifty percent protein. At the same time, corn extract has a significant drawback - high acidity, which limits its use in the feeding diets of farm animals. Existing methods of chemical processing of feed do not allow them to be used to neutralize the acidity of the extract, due to the high concentration of macronutrients in the final product. This article presents experimental studies and their results in order to confirm the developed, new method of neutralizing the acidity of corn extract.
