Commercialization of corn cob for the livestock sector

Follador Srl is also involved in the marketing of corn cob plant granules in the field of animal husbandry as a feed ingredient. In animal husbandry, cob is a feed ingredient suitable for ruminants and is useful for several purposes. In addition to providing plant fiber to the diet of polygastrics, cob is used mainly for its unique internal honeycomb structure. This structure allows the cob to absorb a large capacity of fluids, solving, for example, digestive problems in ruminants at a young age (it serves to absorb excess intestinal mucus production). A very coarse product is used for this use.

The cob is also used in the chemical-pharmaceutical industries and by animal supplement manufacturers as a carrier for vitamins, antibiotics, and all those substances that you want animals to assimilate through digestion.
This requires a product that is generally fine and specific to the substances it will need to absorb.
