Description
What it is. Corn gluten feed is a co-product of maize wet-milling (starch and gluten extraction). It is listed as a cereal grain product in the EU feed materials catalogue (entry 1.2.9) and mainly consists of maize bran, steep liquor and other residual fractions.
What it is for. It is generally used as an energy and protein source in compound feed for ruminants, and to a lesser extent for other species. It would typically be included in rations where a moderately fibrous, digestible co-product is suitable as a partial substitute for cereals or other protein-energy sources. Inclusion level should be adapted to the animal category and to the rest of the ration.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion level or compositional values are specified in the available sources; these should be checked against the supplier's technical sheet. Composition can vary between processing plants depending on the fractions blended, so protein, fibre and moisture content should be verified on each batch, and storage conditions should prevent moisture uptake and spoilage.
