Cattle Feed Corn
Cattle feed corn, also known as feed corn or field corn, is a type of corn that is primarily used as feed for livestock, including cattle, pigs, and poultry.
Cattle feed corn is typically grown on large farms in the United States, and is harvested when the kernels are dry and hard. The specific form depends on the desired feed formulation and the animal's nutritional requirements.
Corn is highly valued in cattle feed due to its high energy content. It is a rich source of starch, which serves as a readily available source of glucose for energy production in cattle. The carbohydrates in corn help meet the energy needs of growing cattle, lactating cows, and cattle in feedlot operations.
In addition to energy, corn also provides some protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, although at relatively lower levels compared to other feed ingredients like pulses or forages. Therefore, it is often used in combination with other feed ingredients to create a nutritionally balanced diet for cattle.
