The germ is NOT lost when the corn is cracked! Where do you people come up with this nonsense?

The germ in not the seed coat, otherwise known as the pericarp. The germ contains the oil and much of the protein found in corn.

When corn is cracked/ground it reduces the particle size which improves the digestibity.

yes. but it is the same corn. when its cracked, some of the germ is lost, making the corn less nutritional.​

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Where does the "lost" germ go, does it magically end up in the ozone?

Forgive me for being frank, but you know not of what you speak.

I am saying that that is what I had read. I dont understand why you are being so rude.

Here is what it says

"Whole corn is best for this as well as for all feeding purposes because the germ (a significant source of nutrition) is lost when it is cracked"

I dont know where it goes. This is what the book says.

The book is wrong!!

I am not trying to be rude, I am simply tired of the spreading of misinformation and untruths about feed and feed ingredients here on BYC.

Then how do you know that the germ is not lost?​

do you want me to list my credentials?

I must admit I have not published a book so my comments must not hold the same sway as those who have, I am published in peer reviewed scientific journals though.
