What's the harm of feeding pigs with new corn?

Corn is a very common crop in China. I especially like to eat that kind of sweet corn when I eat corn at ordinary times, and it is best to eat it tender and crisp. After buying corn, you can not only cook it, but also stew it. It's delicious, and some farmers will plant corn to feed pigs. However, people who have had production experience know that newly picked corn can't be fed to pigs, and pigs may have diarrhea after eating it, which the body can't absorb.

If this newly picked corn is fed to pigs, it is very easy to cause diarrhea, because the moisture and sugar in the newly picked corn are high and sticky. After eating it, the pig's body can't digest it, and then it will have indigestion and diarrhea. If the newly picked corn is fed to pigs, it is difficult to convert it into feed in pigs. Is the starch content of this corn too high? It is difficult for pigs to digest and use after eating. In the process of picking, new corn may be broken. If the weather is hot, it will soon become moldy. When it is fed to pigs, it will also lead to the phenomenon of toxin poisoning in pigs.

Because pigs eat newly picked corn, there are a lot of molds in their bodies, and their appetite will definitely be affected. The next time they eat, their appetite will be poor, and then their nutrition will be insufficient. After a long time, their immunity will decrease, which may lead to various diseases. Moreover, the water content in new corn is very high and unstable, so you can't add some oil when feeding pigs, so it may aggravate the diarrhea of pigs and even affect the whole pig herd.

Therefore, first of all, it is suggested that when feeding corn to pigs, it is best to dry the newly picked corn first, and then age it after screening, so as to eliminate the starch content in corn and prevent pigs from having bad consequences after eating it. You can also mix newly picked corn with old corn, filter it for about a month, and then feed it to pigs.
