Non-broken corn is a common ingredient in animal feed, especially for poultry, swine, and cattle. Corn is a highly nutritious cereal grain that is rich in energy, protein, and essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals. Non-broken corn refers to whole corn kernels that have not been cracked or broken down into smaller pieces.

Improved growth and production
Feeding non-broken corn to animals can provide several benefits, including improved growth and production, better feed conversion rates, and increased feed palatability. However, corn is also a high-energy feed, so it should be fed in moderation and in conjunction with other ingredients to avoid overfeeding and nutrient imbalances.

to provide energy and protein for growth and egg production
In addition to being used as a standalone feed, non-broken corn is often mixed with other ingredients to create a balanced feed ration that meets the specific nutritional needs of different animal species and life stages. For example, non-broken corn is commonly included in poultry feed formulations to provide energy and protein for growth and egg production.
Overall, non-broken corn is a valuable and widely used ingredient in animal feed that provides many essential nutrients and energy for livestock. However, as with any feed ingredient, it is important to use it in moderation and as part of a balanced diet to avoid health problems and ensure optimal animal performance.
The specifications for non-broken corn animal feed can vary depending on the specific needs of the animal being fed and the type of feed being produced
Specifications for non-broken corn
The specifications for non-broken corn animal feed can vary depending on the specific needs of the animal being fed and the type of feed being produced. However, there are several general parameters that are typically used to ensure the quality and nutritional value of non-broken corn animal feed:
| Moisture Content | The moisture content of non-broken corn animal feed should be between 12-14% to prevent spoilage and mold growth during storage. |
| Crude Protein | The crude protein content of non-broken corn animal feed should be around 8-10% for most animal species, but may vary depending on the animal’s specific nutritional requirements. |
| Energy Value | Non-broken corn animal feed is a high-energy feed, with a typical energy value of around 3500-4000 kcal/kg of dry matter. |
| Aflatoxin Levels | Aflatoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain molds that can contaminate corn during storage. The maximum allowed level of aflatoxins in non-broken corn animal feed is typically around 20-50 parts per billion (ppb), depending on the animal species being fed. |
| Particle Size | Non-broken corn animal feed should consist of whole corn kernels that have not been cracked or broken down into smaller pieces. |
| Foreign Material | Non-broken corn animal feed should be free of foreign material such as dirt, rocks, and other contaminants that can affect the nutritional value and palatability of the feed. |
| Storage | Non-broken corn animal feed should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent spoilage and mold growth. |
These specifications are a general guideline and may vary depending on the specific animal being fed and the type of feed being produced. It is important to consult with a nutritionist or veterinarian to determine the optimal specifications for non-broken corn.
