Corn Gluten Meal is a by-product of corn grains purified by the food industry or the wine industry. It is rich in protein nutrients and has special taste and color. It can be used as feed. Compared with fish meal and bean cake commonly used in feed industry, it has obvious resource advantages, high feeding value, does not contain toxic and harmful substances, does not need to be reprocessed, and can be directly used as protein raw materials. Due to the low price of being sold as feed, in recent years, some enterprises have taken corn gluten meal as raw material, extracted zeaxanthin and zein from it, and developed it into functional food, with greatly increased added value.
Corn gluten meal has high protein content and rich amino acids, which can be used to replace soybean cake, fish meal and other protein feeds in the feed market where soybean cake and fish meal are in short supply. Corn protein meal protein nutrient content is rich, does not contain toxic and harmful substances, does not need to be reprocessed, can be directly used as protein raw materials, is a high value feed raw materials.
Using corn gluten meal as concentrate feed can make the protein which can not be digested by rumen better digested and absorbed in small intestine. Corn gluten meal contains linoleic acid, which can promote chicken fat metabolism and promote the polymerization of essential amino acids.
The protein content of corn gluten meal is directly related to the apparent digestibility of pigs. Raw materials with appropriate ratio of energy to protein or a balance between essential and non-essential amino acids have higher energy digestibility. Corn gluten meal with different protein content (CP: 52% from Northeast China, 47.4% from Beijing, 32% from Beijing), and the supplemental amounts were 20%, 25% and 30%, respectively. The test results showed that the apparent digestibility of corn gluten meal containing 32% crude protein was higher, which may be due to the appropriate ratio of energy to protein. [2]
The laying rate of hens can be increased by about 15% by the corn protein meal compound feed. It can prevent and cure chicken cartilage disease and other diseases, play a role in health and growth promotion, and help to improve the quality of egg protein.
Corn Gluten Meal is a secondary product of corn seeds purified by the food industry after the production of starch, has rich protein nutrients, and has a special taste and color, can be used as feed,compared to fish flour, soybean cake, which were commonly used in feed industrial, has obvious resources advantages, with high feeding value, does not contain toxic and harmful subs tances, no need reprocessing, can be used directly as protein raw materials. Due to the low price of selling as feed, in recent years, some enterprises take corn protein powder as raw material, extract zeaxanthin and zein from it, and develop it into functional food, hence the added value is greatly improved.
High protein: The protein content of feed corn protein powder is relatively high, generally reaching more than 60%, which is more suitable for the growth and development of poultry, livestock and other organisms and cell renewal requiring high protein support in physiological processes.
Conducive to digestion: the protein composition of feed corn protein meal is fine, which can be fully decomposed and absorbed by the digestive enzymes in the animal body, thereby improving the feed utilization rate and reducing the breeding cost.
