Yes. A 100% corn diet will cause severe bloating, acidosis and founder in cows, all of which need human intervention to be treated. Corn is not a natural diet for cows, so forage must be fed along with the grain, like hay or silage, to aid in proper digestion.

Do you need to grind corn to feed a cow?

No, but it does make it easier for the microbes in the cow's rumen to break down and digest. Processed corn--corn which is rolled, ground or crushed--breaks the lignin comprising the skin of the corn kernel and breaks the protein matrix surrounding the starch granules. All of this make the nutrients in the kernel much easier for the ruminal bacteria to access, break down and use for their own nutritive needs before it goes to the cow.
