Abstract
A method of forming a weather resistant sweet corn based animal feed product includes mixing sweet corn and water to form a sticky mixture which is then extruded through an open tapering die where the mixture is greatly pressurized and ejected as a continuous log of a size and shape dictated by the die. The log is then cut to length to produce weather resistant sweet corn based animal feed products.
