Feed Corn / Maize
Feed corn, also traded internationally as feed maize, is an energy-rich cereal grain widely used in poultry, livestock and compound feed production.
Commercial buying is typically based on moisture, test weight, broken and damaged kernels, foreign matter and feed-safety parameters. Mycotoxin limits and GMO status may also be specified according to the destination market and buyer requirements.
Terraviis coordinates supply through approved origin partners. Producer, origin, loading point and final specification are confirmed with the commercial offer.
Typical Feed Corn & Maize Specifications
Commercial parameters vary according to origin, crop, destination and contracted grade.
| PARAMETER | TYPICAL REQUIREMENT |
|---|---|
| Product | Yellow Corn / Maize |
| Grade | Feed grade |
| Moisture | Typically max. 14–14.5% |
| Test Weight | Typically approx. 68–72 kg/hl |
| Broken Kernels | Typically max. 3–5% |
| Foreign Matter | Typically max. 1–3% |
| Damaged Kernels | Typically max. 5–7% |
| Aflatoxin / Mycotoxins | According to contracted and destination requirements |
| GMO Status | Declared according to origin and specification |
| Intended Use | Poultry, livestock and compound feed production |
These parameters closely reflect the factors commonly used in commercial feed-corn procurement; USDA grading also uses test weight, broken corn/foreign material and damaged kernels as core corn quality criteria.
Indicative industry ranges only. Producer-, crop- and origin-specific values may vary.
Final analytical values, tolerances and applicable feed-safety requirements are confirmed before contracting and supported by the relevant Product Specification or Certificate of Analysis.

Feed Corn & Maize Frequently Asked Questions
Is feed corn the same as feed maize?
Yes. Corn and maize refer to the same cereal grain. Both terms are widely used in international agricultural trade.
What moisture level is typical for feed corn?
Commercial feed corn commonly has a maximum moisture requirement around 14–14.5%, although the contracted limit depends on origin, grade and destination. Commercial suppliers commonly quote around this level.
What quality parameters are important when buying feed corn?
Buyers commonly evaluate moisture, test weight, broken kernels, foreign matter, damaged kernels and applicable feed-safety parameters.
Is feed corn tested for aflatoxin and other mycotoxins?
Where required, applicable mycotoxin parameters are included in the contracted specification and supported by relevant analysis or COA. Limits depend on the destination and buyer requirements.
Can you supply non-GMO feed corn?
GMO or non-GMO requirements should be stated in the RFQ. Availability depends on origin and the applicable supply programme.
What is feed corn used for?
Feed corn is primarily used as an energy grain in poultry, livestock and compound feed formulations.
Can feed corn be supplied in bulk?
Yes. Bulk is the primary format for larger commercial shipments, with truck, rail, container or vessel loading selected according to the route.
Can independent inspection be arranged?
Yes. Independent quality and quantity inspection can be coordinated where required under the agreed transaction terms.
What information is required for a quotation?
Please provide the required specification, quantity, destination, Incoterm and preferred loading format.
