The consequences of heat processing of feeds for sterilization and to destroy antinutritive substances can be beneficial as well as detrimental. Damages to feed proteins may be primarily explained by complex reactions between proteins and carbohydrates, by interactions between protein molecules and by oxidation. The chemical mechanisms and nutritional consequences of these reactions are reviewed.
