And due to the limited ability of feed regulators, the quality of commercial feed is not guaranteed. Some unscrupulous feed producers sell low-quality feed, such as shredded maize cobs with traces of aflatoxin, and sell shredded maize cobs as maize germ. So small chicken feed has become the best choice, which can decrease cost and increase profit.

Among the poultry, the chicken is highly susceptible to aflatoxin poisoning which will make their egg production and meat quality decrease. Farmers in urban areas can get maize germ to make the feed because it is cheaper than whole maize.
