Corn is a crop that can be used either as food or feed. Every part of the plant can be transformed into various products utilizable by man and animals. About 20 percent of the Filipinos use corn as food, especially the white corn variety. Sixty to seventy percent of the yellow corn are used in feed formulation. The remainder is processed into various industrial products. Corn forage is another product primarily used as feedstuff for ruminants. Six to eight animal units per hectare can be supported by baby and green corn forage for three months feeding. Staggered planting is proposed to implement a system of feeding under smallholder farmer without the necessity of a forage chopper
