Animal Feed Maize
Maize boasts a high content of starch, primarily in the form of readily digestible carbohydrates. This readily available energy fuels growth, milk production, and reproductive performance in animals.
Beyond energy, maize provides essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals. While normal maize protein content is around 8-9%, Quality Protein Maize (QPM) varieties offer higher levels, improving the overall nutritional profile.
It contains vitamin A precursors, crucial for eye health and immunity, and minerals like phosphorus for bone development and manganese for enzyme function.
