Heygates Flaked Maize 20kg
Heygates Flaked Maize 20kg – Maize is a cereal, just like oats and barley. Farmers usually feed maize flaked or micronised to boost digestibility. Flaking cooks maize in steam. Micronising heats maize to high temperatures, then rolls it. Maize contains more starch and less fibre than other cereals. This makes it very energy dense. In fact, it has the highest energy of all cereals. It delivers twice the energy of the same volume of oats.
Heygates Cooked Flaked Maize is a premium feed. Heygates designed it to supply digestible energy for horses and livestock. They steam-cook and flake the maize to improve digestibility. This process unlocks more nutritional value. The high starch and low fibre make it energy rich. It contains twice the energy of oats by volume. This makes it ideal for animals needing extra fuel.

About Heygates
There has been a mill on the banks of the River Nene at Bugbrooke ever since the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086.
The Heygate family have been farming in Northamptonshire since 1562 and took over the mill in the early 19th century.
The family business has grown to be a leading company in both feed and flour milling with a reputation for providing quality products and customer service. Each week the company produces up to 3000 tonnes of animal feeds and mills in excess of 8000 tonnes of wheat into flour, some of which is baked into several million loaves of bread every week at the company’s two bakeries in Banbury and Manchester.
