Corn is one of the most popular cereal crops used as a feed resource for livestock and poultry. Its attractive properties are due to its high starch content, caloric content and easy availability, making it an ideal part of balanced diets. The high proportion of carbohydrates in corn keeps animals energetic and maintains rapid live weight gain.
Corn is most often introduced into the diets of cattle, pigs and poultry. Because of its high carbohydrate content, it is well suited for fattening meat breeds, promoting rapid growth and the accumulation of quality muscle mass. Corn is able to maintain a high level of milk production in cows, as it is quickly digested by the body and provides a quick supply of energy.
