Barley Grain is a source of starch and digestible carbohydrates commonly fed to livestock. A low processing index (PI) indicates grain that has been extensively processed and more digestible.

Barley Grain is typically dry-rolled to varying degrees to make it more digestible. A processing index (PI) of 65% classifies it as moderately processed for improved digestion and availability of carbohydrates.

Barley Grain is a high-energy source of carbohydrates, commonly fed to cattle. Coarse barley grain with a higher processing index (PI) is less digestible.

High moisture corn consists of corn grain that has been harvested earlier, with higher moisture content, and ensiled. It is commonly fed to dairy and beef cattle and is a less common feed for horses.

Cob meal refers to high moisture corn grain harvested with the inclusion of ground cob. This feed is only appropriate for ruminants and should not be fed to horses.

Corn (maize) hominy feed is a byproduct of dry corn milling. Hominy is produced from dried corn kernels that are soaked in an alkali solution to dissolve hemicellulose. This improves digestibility of the corn.

Corn hominy is a byproduct of dry corn (maize) milling. It can vary in fat content depending on the processing method. Hominy feed is commonly fed to livestock.

Corn screenings refer to the grain dust, hulls, cracked kernels and debris that accumulate during drying when processing corn. It is fed to beef cattle as an energy source. Quality varies and corn screenings might be high in mycotoxins.

Steam flaked corn grain is processed to improve digestibility and is commonly fed to livestock. It is sometimes included as an energy source in equine feeds.

Steam-rolled corn has higher starch digestibility compared to non-processed corn grains. It is typically fed to livestock but is not commonly fed to horses due to its high starch content.

Corn cannery waste silage is a byproduct of sweet corn processing. Sweet corn waste can be ensiled and fed to cattle.

Cracked corn grain is minimally processed to improve digestibility. It is a high-starch feed commonly fed to livestock. Excess starch in the diet can cause hindgut issues in horses.

Ground corn is a high-starch feed commonly added to livestock diets. A high intake of ground corn may induce hindgut acidosis in horses.

Fine ground corn is a processed grain product commonly used in livestock diets. It may be included at low levels in equine feeds as an energy source.

Ground corn is commonly included as an energy source in equine feeds. Due to its high starch content, inclusion in equine diets should be limited, especially for horses with metabolic concerns.

Ground corn grain with a high level of oil is an energy-dense grain product suitable for livestock. This high-starch, high-energy feed is not commonly used in equine diets.

Whole corn grain refers to unprocessed corn grains. It is high in starch and may have limited digestibility in horses, potentially causing hindgut issues.
