Feed value for monogastric animals, such as swine and poultry, is somewhat lower than for ruminants.

Field maize is left in the field until very late in the autumn to thoroughly dry the grain, and may, in fact, sometimes not be harvested until winter or even early spring. They did this to liberate the corn hulls, but (unbeknownst to natives or colonists) it coincidentally liberates the B-vitamin niacin, the lack of which was the underlying cause of the condition known as pellagra.This dessert is often cut into triangular shapes and can be bought from food vendors in the streets of Port Louis and also in market fairs around the island. In parts of northern India and Pakistan ground corn flour is used to make thick slabs of bread which can be eaten with a wide variety of curry dishes or it can be coated in clarified butter or ghee and eaten with yogurt or lassi, a yogurt-based drink.

Another well-known example is the Field of Corn sculpture in Dublin, Ohio, where hundreds of concrete ears of corn stand in a grassy field.Cornmeal is also often used as an additional ingredient in the preparation of injera or lahoh, flatbread that is traditionally eaten in the countries of the Horn of Africa ( Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia) and nearby Yemen.

The pericarp of the fruit is fused with the seed coat referred to as " caryopsis", typical of the grasses, and the entire kernel is often referred to as the " seed".The allergic reaction can cause skin rash, swelling or itching of mucous membranes, diarrhea, vomiting, asthma and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. The word "maize" is preferred in international usage because in many countries the term "corn", the name by which the plant is known in the United States, is synonymous with the leading cereal grain; thus, in England "corn" refers to wheat, and in Scotland and Ireland it refers to oats. Starch from maize can also be made into plastics, fabrics, adhesives, and many other chemical products. In the United States, maize ears along with tobacco leaves are carved into the capitals of columns in the United States Capitol building. Before the 20th century, all maize harvesting was by manual labour, by grazing, or by some combination of those.
