Livestock maize germ

Mary Alma

Can maize that has been attacked by weevils be used to make maize germ?

HEllon kajoro,

It is ok to mill the maize and feed to animals.

NOTE........But ensure it has not been affected / infected by moulds/aflatoxins. Such infected maize is hazardous and can cause death to both animals and pose a risk to humans too if they eat meat, eggs and milk from such.

Thank you very much for your advise. The had been put pesticides. Am thinking of first washing them, drying them up completely and then making maize germ. Is it ok?
