| With cereal prices as low as £55 tonne off the combine, caustic treated grain is another feed option for dairy cows this winter.
Treating with Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda) ruptures the seed coat and increases grain digestibility. High rates can be fed compared to ground or rolled cereal as starch degradation is slower in the rumen and the feed is alkaline.
Read our Farming Note on Caustic Treated Grain for more information.
