Zusammenfassung:Method of producing a feedstuff for a dairy animal that potentiates milk production. The method includes a multi-stage process having one stage in which a feed grain for dairy animals is heat-treated for a period of time at a temperature above 90 degrees Celsius. The grain is processed for another period of time that includes disrupting the prolamin/protein bonds which produces a hydrophilic, vitreous feedstuff having a starch and protein matrix composed at least partially by prolamin. The feed grain is heat-treated for a first period of time, of which at least 200 seconds is maintained above 90 degrees Celsius, and thereafter the feed grain is processed in a second stage by applying sufficient processing to disrupt the prolamin/protein bonds and thereby producing a hydrophilic, vitreous, feedstuff comprising a starch and protein matrix composed of at least three percent prolamin.
