Many cattle don't eat any corn at all. Others will be "forced" to consume around 20 to 25 lbs of corn a day, particularly if they're finished in a feedlot in the Midwestern USA, for example. Other cattle may only consume 2 to 5 lbs of corn a day, depending on the reasons for their needing it.

How much corn is in cattle feed?
It depends on the location, and the type or class of animals fed. There can be as little as no corn (0%) in a feed ration for cattle, or as much as 85% in a feed ration. Not all areas in the world can or will grow corn, and not all feed fed to cattle includes corn. For instance, much of the grain fed to cattle in Canada is barley or oats, not corn.

Why is it important that hogs and cattle eat corn?
It is actually not important at all, especially for cattle. Cattle can live just fine without having to eat corn; many are grazed on pasture or a rangeland without any corn supplement to "keep them alive" as some extremists might be known to say. Corn grain is actually an unnatural food source for cattle, and will cause metabolic and digestive problems when fed in excess and introduced too quickly. It is alright as a supplement if and when it is needed to meet their energy requirements--especially if they're cold stressed, for instance--but other than that, it's not all that important or crucial to feed them corn at all. As far as hogs as concerned, they don't really need it either, but their digestive systems are much different from that of a ruminant like a bovine. Hogs can and will eat anything, unlike cattle, so it is more debatable as to whether it's "important" that corn be fed to hogs or not. Wild feral pigs often raid corn fields just to eat the succulent corn kernels and chew on the roots, and they likely do so because they know the corn tastes good and they can easily digest it than cattle can (though cattle love the taste of the corn kernels too).

What does the healthy cow eat?
This depends on your area and what type of cattle you are feeding. Beef and dairy cattle will eat different types of food as will mature bulls, yearlings, dry cows, and pregnant cattle. Dairy cattle are usually fed a TMR (Total Mixed Ration) consisting of soy beans, corn, and hay. Dairy calves are fed a calf starter ( a grain that is high in protein to aid growth and digestion). Yearlings will eat a corn mixture usually with oats to aid in healthy digestion and growth. Again, this changes for each location and what the farmer seems fit to feed the cattle. Growing feedlot beef cattle will eat a high energy corn for an increase of weight gain. Dry females and pregnant females will usually eat silage, insilage, some farmers will feed dry cattle a specific ration that costs more.
Can cows survive on corn?
