Cracked Corn
High-Energy Cracked Corn for Easier Utilization and Mixing — A Calorie Additive Ingredient
Cracked corn is widely used because it’s a straightforward way to raise ration energy and it blends cleanly into many feeding setups. But corn is still corn: it’s a starch-dense grain, and in cattle it must be managed to avoid digestive upset from rapid fermentation. University of Illinois Extension notes acidosis is a nutritional disease caused by cattle consuming too much starch (primarily grain) because grains ferment rapidly in the rumen.
