Abstract

Dairy animals' nutrition has an important role in influencing milk production and milk composition chemistry. But animal feeding is one of the high costs of production factors, so it is necessary to search for alternative sources, such as corn milling co-products. These products were studied and it was noted that they can affect the chemistry and quantity of milk positively or negatively. Most feed co-products of the corn had fast digestible cells and small, non-digestible residues, suggesting that they fit appropriately to feed lactating animals. The published net energy values of these corn co-products varied or were suspected from one study to another due to different factors such as interactions with different feed ingredients and level intake. Corn co-products are feed-rich products and can be used to support ruminant feed, but in specific proportions and depending on the type of production. Using corn co-products in dairy animal feeds should be carefully evaluated to avoid dietary imbalances and maintain protein quality. In this review, the most important results of some studies using different Corn co-products under various conditions were mentioned.
