No, cow corn isn't good as far as palatability is concerned (at least for human consumers, not cows: cows will readily eat "cow corn"). It is less better to eat than sweet corn, specifically created by plant breeders to meet the consumer demand for corn and its various derivatived products found on your grocery store's shelves.
They certainly can! However, the question for some is not necessarily if they can, but if they will. Past experience with eating such material often determine if those cows will actually dig in or simply turn up their noses and refuse to eat it.
If you are referring to corn as in grain corn, no. This is an unnatural diet for cattle, and this can be seen when feedlot managers have to mix in antibiotics with the feed to prevent the cows from getting acidosis or bloat when on a corn diet. Corn, like any grain fed to cattle, is too high in starch and carbohydrates and too low in fibre, cellulose and hemicellulose to be considered a good diet for cattle. Cattle, like all wild ruminants, are built to eat grass.
Now if you were referring to corn as in the whole plant, then yes. But there are exceptions: If cattle are set to eat a corn plant that has the corn kernels still attached, there still is a higher risk of them bloating than if they were set to eat corn AFTER the kernels have been harvested.
They can, but it's not like the cultivar of corn that is grown for human consumption. Corn for cattle is a bit more tougher, doughy and slightly bitter than the sweeter varieties.
Yes, but it doesn't taste nearly as good as sweet corn, the altogether different cultivar of corn specifically grown for human consumption.
Cows do not eat corn in their natuaral diet. They eat grass. Cows are being fed corn because it is cheap and plentiful. Because corn is not a natural food for cows, they need help digesting it and are fed antibiotics to keep their digestion healthy.
Cows
With sufficient water, yes, corn will survive in the desert.
Cows can't survive on gas alone. Neither can humans. Both cows and humans need food and water to survive, not just oxygen (which is a gas we breathe).
Yes, and No. Cows can survive completely on grass as food, but it would need water too.
Cows will eat long grass. Haven't you ever heard, "The cow's in the corn?" Corn is a tall grass.
cows will eat any grain, but most cows eat corn
Theres sheep in the meadow and cows in the corn
Cows actually enjoy eating whole corn , however eating whole corn can cause problems as they can not digest it properly. Cows should be given ground corn so that they can digest it properly and retain the maximum nutritional benefits.Ê
Yes.
Yes.
Only if the corn has fermented to the point of turned to alcohol.
