Maize - Feed Ingredient

Maize (Zea mays), also known as corn, is a cereal grain widely used in animal nutrition as an energy-dense feed ingredient. It is composed primarily of starch. Maize is processed in various forms, including whole, cracked, flaked, or ground, to enhance digestibility and nutrient availability.

In equine nutrition, maize serves as a high-energy feed and economical calorie source. Maize has a lower protein content compared to other grains and is not considered a complete protein source. Due to its high starch content, maize should be fed with caution to horses prone to metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance or laminitis.

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