The present invention provides grain, seed, feed made from the grain or
seed, pet food made from the grain, and food products made from the
grain. The grain may be maize grain with the following characteristics:
oil burdened, elevated protein content, and low phytate levels. The
combination of oil burdened, protein laden, decreased phytate
characteristics in grain makes a grain that provides more calories,
protein and phosphorus and other nutrients to the feeding animal. Pet
foods, and animal feeds and corn food products made of the present
invention will provide increased nutrition because of the increased
bioavailability of the components of the grain.
