Feeding corn to cattle can lead to rapid weight gain, as corn is a high-energy feed. However, it may also cause digestive issues, such as acidosis, due to the high starch content, especially if cattle are not gradually acclimated to it. Additionally, a corn-heavy diet can alter the nutritional quality of beef, potentially affecting its fat composition and flavor. Overall, while feeding corn can be efficient for growth, it requires careful management to ensure animal health.
