Corn stover, corn husk, corn cobs
The main waste from maize production that is available
for roughage source, is the corn stover (the stalk
and leaves after harvesting), the corn husk, the leaves
and the cobs. Currently, in maize producing areas
(sweet and baby corn producing areas) the stover is
usually harvested and chopped for use as roughage for
dairy cattle. For dairy production, corn stover could be
used as a roughage source both in its fresh and in
ensiled form. Stover from baby corn production has a
higher nutritive value than corn stover from sweet
maize production.
