In the livestock sector, ruminants commonly use corn cob as an ingredient in their feed due to its numerous purposes. Primarily, polygastrics utilize the corn cob for its unique internal alveolar structure, which serves multiple benefits. In addition, it provides vegetable fibers to their diet. The cob’s internal alveolar structure enables it to absorb a large capacity of liquids. For example, this helps solve digestive problems in young ruminants by absorbing excess intestinal mucus production.
