Corn gluten meal, an organic choice

Corn protein powder is a by-product of corn grain, has been purified food industry to produce starch or brewing industry its protein is rich in nutrition, color has a special taste and it can be used as a feed compared with fish meal and bean cake is commonly used in feed industry, has obvious advantages, high feed value, do not contain toxic and harmful substances, do not need to reprocess it can be directly used as a protein raw materials.

This article contains the following:

• Nutrient content of corn gluten meal

• Cattle feed

• Chicken feed

• Broiler coloring

1.nutrient content of corn gluten meal

Due to the different nutritional components of corn gluten meal produced by different uses and different production processes, it directly affects its effective utilization rate and the economic benefits of feed formula. Corn gluten powder produced by the pharmaceutical industry contains more than 60% protein. Its protein content is 21% and 3.7% higher than soybean cake and fish meal, respectively. It is a feed material with high protein, and the crude fiber content is lower than 3.9%. The fat content of medical corn protein powder is higher than soybean cake and corn seed. After being formulated into feed, the dietary fat content is high, which is beneficial to reduce the oxidation of amino acids and generate more body protein, and can also inhibit the conversion of glucose and other precursor materials into fat; under high temperature conditions, it is also beneficial to energy intake Reduce the body heat consumption of livestock and poultry, and slow down heat stress.

Extracted corn gluten meal is a by-product of the brewing industry. Its protein content is low, crude fiber content is high, and its nutritional value is not as high as that of medical corn gluten meal.

2.Cattle feed

The use of corn gluten meal as a concentrated feed can better digest and absorb part of the protein that cannot be digested by the rumen in the small intestine. Corn gluten meal contains linoleic acid, which can promote chicken fat metabolism and promote the polymerization of essential amino acids.

3.Chicken feed

The mash feed based on corn gluten meal can increase the egg production rate by about 15%. It can prevent chicken's osteomalacia and other diseases, play a role in health promotion and growth, and help to improve egg protein quality.

4.Broiler coloring

Although the coloration of the skin of the broiler has nothing to do with its nutritional value, due to the influence of traditional culture, consumers and breeders still use the coloration of broiler products as one of the main indicators to measure the quality of broiler products, which directly affects the price of the broiler market. And demand.

Broiler chickens cannot synthesize lutein by themselves. They can only be obtained from feed. In order to obtain the ideal skin color, chemical synthetic colorants such as Garixol Red and Garixol Yellow are usually added to the broiler feed. The price is higher, the cost of feed is increased after addition, and it remains in livestock and poultry. The lutein content of corn gluten powder is as high as 90-180mg / kg, which is more than 5 times that of yellow corn. It can be effectively absorbed. The price of corn gluten meal is close to the price of soybean cake. In view of this, corn gluten meal plus aspartic acid can be used instead of chemically synthesized colorants to improve the coloration of broilers.

Add 2.5% zein powder and 90 mg / kg ascorbic acid to the diet of the experimental group, add 100 mg / kg galicin red to the diet of the control group, and add no coloring to the diet of the blank control group Results, the test group and the colorant control group have a significantly higher color level than the blank control group, the gel color level increase between the test group and the colorant control group is not significantly different, the test group of broiler shin is dark yellow, the appearance In line with people's consumption habits. From the effect of slaughtering broilers, the effect of adding corn gluten powder is similar to the effect of adding galicin red, which is significantly higher than that of the control group. The coloring effect of natural lutein in the feed is better than that of chemical synthetic colorants. The effect is slightly worse, but by adding aspartic acid, the metabolism of the body is promoted, and the utilization and deposition rate of lutein in the feed is improved, thereby changing the coloration of the epidermis of the broiler chicken, and the effect is obvious.
