Applications:
Poultry: Corn gluten meal can be a valuable feed for poultry due to its high protein content, its high pigment (xanthophyll) content and its high ME content (typically more than 16 MJ/kg DM). The methionine content is relatively high, much higher than that of soybean meal and relatively close to that of fish meal, which is a desirable trait for layers diets The high xanthophyll concentration of corn gluten meal is valuable in markets where a bright yellow colour in egg yolks, skin, and fatty tissues is associated with good health and premium quality by the consumer,. The inclusion rate of corn gluten meal in poultry diets is, therefore, driven in part by market demand in terms of colouring.
Fish : Corn gluten feed is considered as a good and palatable source of protein for fish and has been used in fish feeding.
