Introduction of Corn Gluten Meal and its application in feed field

Corn gluten meal is a by-product of Corn grain purified from starch produced by food industry or wine making industry. Its protein is rich, and has special taste and color. It can be used as feed. Compared with fish meal and soybean cake commonly used in feed industry, it has obvious resource advantages, high feeding value, no toxic and harmful substances, and can be directly used as protein raw materials. In recent years, some enterprises use Corn gluten powder as raw material to extract Zeaxanthin and corn gluten, and successfully develop some functional food, which greatly improves the added value.

Application in cattle breeding:

In cattle industry, using corn gluten meal as concentrate feed can make some protein which can not be digested by rumen better digested and absorbed in small intestine. Corn gluten meal contains linoleic acid, which can promote the lipid metabolism of animals and the polymerization of essential amino acids.

Application in pig breeding:

The apparent digestible energy of corn gluten meal was higher than that of fish meal in the comparative feeding experiment of pig, which may be due to the appropriate ratio of energy to protein.

Application in poultry breeding:

Corn gluten meal based compound feed can increase the laying rate by about 15%, prevent chicken cartilage disease and other diseases, play a role in health care and growth promotion, and improve the quality of egg protein. Corn gluten meal is rich in egg lutein, which has a certain coloring effect in poultry feed.
