If corn is not good for goats, how much is not good? What about the stalks, husks and silk?

Husks and silk is listed as safe.

Corn isn't unsafe, unless you're feeding too much of it. Many goat rations include corn. They can also eat stalks and husks.

The plants and husks are basically big grass. I feed them whenever I have them. Corn is not good for anyone unless in moderation, and unless you are raising a pig and want lots of bacon and fatback and it doesn't need to live a long, productive life. Then bring on the corn!

I feed whole corn as part of my hens' diet and the goats get a few kernels as treats. I feed it fermented to the pigs and the goats won't touch it.
