| Dehulling improves markedly the feed value of oat (Avena sativa L.), but good storability of groat mass is required when large quantities of oat are dehulled at any one time. A laboratory model of an impact oat dehuller, similar to a commercial device, was used to study the effects of rotation speed and grain moisture content on groat breakage and the storage life of oat groats. Grain of oat cultivar Salo [from official variety trials, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Jokioinen (60°49'N), 1996–2000] was dehulled with an impact oat dehuller using rotation speeds of 200 to 500 r min-1 at 50 r min-1 intervals. In an additional experiment, grains were moistened resulting in moisture content ranging from 10% to 18%. Proportion of broken groats and size... |
