Maize, a very well-suited food
All food distributed to animals is made only of maize, either as whole or crushed grain maize.
Maize is indeed very well suited to feeding web-footed birds as it contains a high level of starch, a necessary source of carbohydrates for the lipogenesis process.
Maize can be distributed as whole or crushed grains.
Whole maize grains
 |
Whole maize grains first remain in warm water for 12 hours. Then farmers mix them with water to feed the animals. |
Crushed maize grains
 |
Maize is crushed until very fine grains are obtained. Then farmers mix them with water to make gruel or mash making it easier to assimilate. |
