Crushed Maize Group

Product Overview

Crushed Maize (Yellow Maize Chop) is a high-energy, highly palatable grain feed staple designed for livestock and poultry. Produced by coarsely crushing whole yellow maize kernels, it breaks down the outer seed coat to significantly improve digestibility and nutrient absorption while maintaining an ideal particle size for easy consumption.

Serving as a primary source of digestible carbohydrates and dietary energy, it is an essential ingredient for conditioning livestock, boosting milk yields, and maintaining overall herd condition—especially during winter months or dry grazing periods.

Key Benefits

High Energy Source: Packed with readily available carbohydrates to maintain body condition and drive growth or production.
Improved Digestibility: Coarsely crushed texture allows rumen microbes and digestive enzymes to break down nutrients more efficiently than whole maize.
Multi-Species Utility: Ideal for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and game animals.
Versatile Range: Available in various bag sizes (R33.35 to R218.39) to suit smallholdings, backyard flocks, or commercial farming operations.

Usage & Feeding Instructions

Feeding Guidelines: Feed as an energy supplement alongside quality roughage, pastures, or hay.
Mixing: Can be fed directly or blended into home-mixed rations with oilseed meal, bran, and mineral supplements.
Adaptation: When feeding in high quantities, introduce gradually over 7–10 days to prevent digestive upset or acidosis in ruminants.
