[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5850955, member: 20151"] I do understand the threats from mold and aflatoxins but this talk is creating a completely incorrect view that corn is all bad. I have fed livestock all my life and have studied feed for the duration and now folks trying to tell me that something that has been so good for the health and production of livestock is terribly bad for another ruminate or fowl. Corn is carbohydrates by and large with a little protein to boot. Fowl use carbs to help maintain their body temp in cold weather, low protein means it requires less water to digest so there could be less dehydration, fat stores are built quickly with carbs, proteins build muscle, animals entering winter with some fat reserves come out of winter having been stressed less. I am not pro baiting, for myself I am against it for the sporting value it has to me but over all I don’t see the threat from it changing much when it comes to deer. Turkeys are another topic. I have no problem supplemental feeding turkeys but universal baiting of them could be really bad. [/QUOTE]
