چکیده
Maize is one of the important cereal crops in the world agricultural economy both as food grains for human and fodder and feed for cattle and poultry. Maize grain contains about 72% starch, 10% protein, 4.8% oil, 5.8% fiber, 3.0% sugar and 1.7% ash (Choudhary, 1993). Along with this, it is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, nicotinic acid, riboflavin and contains fairly high phosphorus than rice and sorghum. Its fodder and hay contains 7-10% protein, 15-36% fiber, 2.09 to 2.62% ether extract, 0.42-0.70% calcium, 0.28-0.29% phosphorus, 0.45% magnesium, 1.34% potassium and 56% carbohydrate. Therefore, it has very nutritive fodder and hay. Besides food grain, fodder and feed, it has prime importance in textile, starch and dye industries.
