Palatability is not related to the GMO. It's genetics type that are used in the production.
Organically produced seed historically has been straight dent corn (older genetics in the public domain). These are softer kernals that are easier for he animals to chew. The don't need to be ground as fine.
GMO hybrids are mostly dent x flint crosses. These have a harder shell around the outside of the kernals. It needs to be ground up finer for the animals to digest it.
This is changing recently as Bayer and Corteva are licensing out their dent x flint varieties to the organic companies.
