A process for preparing a grain-based particulate animal feed comprises the steps of: admixing grain with other ingredients, and passing the resultant mixture through a pressing apparatus to create the particulate feed, wherein the grain is wholly or partly whole grain. The process is based on the manufacture of a particulate feed using whole grain, which thus preserves such grain in its natural form, in contrast to the preparation of pellets which requires all the grain to be ground to a powder and then 'reformed'. The grain for use with the present invention is preferably completely unprocessed. Heat treatment to soften the grain prior to pressing may be used, and the pressing apparatus is preferably a die. |
