    Corn, also known as maize, is a cereal grain that originated in the Americas. It is one of the most widely distributed food crops in the world and is used for both human consumption and livestock feed. Corn is characterized by having a solid stalk unlike other grasses. Corn bran is a byproduct of corn processing that contains nutrients. Studies have found that including corn bran in livestock diets decreases milk fat percentage but does not affect dry matter intake. Corn bran is a good fiber and nutrient source for animal feed.
