Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know
Grain rolling mills are assets responsible for processing cereals in order to turn them into food suitable for animal digestion. Grain rolling takes place by passing the grain between two rollers, which can be smooth, knurled or grooved. This process crushes and fragments the grains. The nutritional value of the processed cereals is thus altered,… Continue reading Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know
