Description
What it is. Grain of Zea mays L. ssp. mays, used whole or processed as a cereal grain in compound feed. It is a feed material under catalogue heading 1.2.1 of Regulation 68/2013, cereal grains chapter.
What it is for. Maize is generally used as an energy source in diets for most livestock species, owing to its starch content. It can be used across production stages, from young animals to finishing and production phases, in mash, pelleted or extruded feeds. Choice of physical form (whole, cracked, ground) depends on species and processing constraints.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion level or declared constituent content is specified in the available sources; nutrient values and quality criteria (moisture, mycotoxins) should be checked against the specific batch. Storage conditions should limit moisture uptake and mould development.
