Corn helps bring high-quality meat, milk, and eggs to your table. It’s an essential ingredient in livestock feed, packed with both energy and protein to provide chickens, cattle, and hogs the nutrients they need to grow strong and stay healthy.
– Livestock love the taste of corn. Nearly 70 million bushels of corn are fed to Kentucky livestock each year.
– 1 in every 4 rows of corn planted in Kentucky goes directly to feed poultry in the state.
– Corn is a diverse feed ingredient. It can be fed as whole kernels, cracked, ground, silage, or even as Distillers Dried Grains, which is a byproduct of ethanol production.
