Graphic.com (Ghana) published an article on Ghana’s human consumption of maize. Experts believe that the only way to ensure maize used as feed is to separate it from maize used for human consumption. Most often, during the planning stage of production, particularly for a grain such as maize, only human food was considered highly to the neglect of livestock and poultry production. An IFPRI study indicates that the feed milling industry serves as the link between maize and poultry. The findings establish the importance of feed in the poultry value chain and shows how the sector has become more integrated with poultry production, especially on larger-scale poultry farms.
