Corn - Feed Ingredient

Corn is a cereal grain commonly used in horse feed as a high-energy source. It consists mainly of starch. Compared to other grains like oats and barley, corn has the highest energy density due to its high starch levels.

In equine nutrition, corn is often fed cracked, rolled, or processed to improve digestibility. It provides a concentrated source of calories, making it an economical energy source. However, corn has the highest starch content of all cereal grains, which increases the risk of digestive issues such as colic or laminitis if fed in excess.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Corn as an ingredient.
