additive for crimped grain

Wikipedia definition:
Traditionally, grain is not harvested until it is dry enough to be ground by a hammer mill. Moist grain often cannot be ground or stored without machine drying and using preservatives, which always increases costs.
In crimping, the grain is combined moist and run through the crimper machine, which will break and flatten the grains. Additives, such as certain preservatives or molasses and water (if necessary) can be added in order to ensure the protection of nutrients.
Crimped grain is stored in storage silos as a silage.
Crimped grain is dustless, thus convenient to handle, does not require any further processing, and is often preferred by the animals to drier and dustier feeds.
