Maize (also known as corn) is mainly grown in Queensland and New South Wales for use in stock feed.

Features & Benefits

  • The protein, amino acid and energy content can vary depending on the location and the conditions under which it is grown.
  • Its protein content ranges from 7 to 12 percent on an ‘as fed’ basis (9 to 13 percent on a dry matter basis) in practice.
  • In Australia a white carcass colour of meat chicken is preferred and hence maize can be a problem if fed at high levels to meat chickens, since the pigment is passed into the carcass.
  • In the USA and Asia, where a yellow carcass is generally required, maize has an added advantage.
  • The colour pigment in yellow maize, cryptozanthin, is of value in layer diets where it gives the desirable colour to egg yolks.
