Overview
Corn Gluten Meal (CGM) is a high-protein feed ingredient produced during corn starch and syrup processing.
It is valued for its concentrated protein, rich methionine content, and excellent digestibility, making it suitable for poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquatic feeds.
Its natural yellow pigment (xanthophyll) also contributes to improved egg yolk color and broiler skin pigmentation.

Ruminants: Supplies bypass protein for dairy and beef cattle.
Actual dosage may vary based on nutritional formulation and local feed standards.
Product FAQ
1. What is this ingredient?
Corn Gluten Meal is a high-protein by-product of corn wet milling used widely in animal feed.
It provides concentrated plant protein, zein, glutelin, and methionine to support growth performance.
2. What is the typical protein content?
Most commercial CGM contains 60%–62% crude protein.
The exact level may vary slightly depending on milling standards and moisture control.
3. Does it work effectively in feed diets?
Yes. Corn Gluten Meal is well recognized for its digestibility and natural pigment content.
It supports feed conversion efficiency while enhancing yolk and skin pigmentation in poultry.
4. Is this product suitable for human use?
