- Abstract:
The article focuses on the increasing popularity of NutriDense, a variety of corn hybrid created by ExSeed Genetics LLC for livestock in the U.S. NutriDense was developed by scientist Jerry Weigel in the late 1990's. It has consistently shown 5-6 percent higher energy and amino acid values than yellow dent corn. A study also showed that NutriDense-fed pigs had 2 percent higher average daily gain and consumed 5.3 percent less feed compared to pigs fed with conventional corn.
