Whole Corn
Clean, High-Energy Whole Corn Grain for Adding Calories to Livestock Rations — Best Used as an Ingredient or Supplement
Whole Corn is one of the most common and effective ways to add calories to livestock diets — but it’s important to position it correctly: it’s an ingredient, not a complete feed. Nutrena’s Country Feeds Whole Corn describes it plainly as a grain product intended to be fed as an energy source, with no added vitamins or minerals.
Because corn is a rapidly fermentable starch source in ruminants, management matters. Feeding too much grain too fast can raise acidosis risk, so gradual adaptation and consistency are key when corn intake increases in cattle diets.
