Corn Gluten Meal

Corn gluten meal is a by-product from the manufacture of corn starch and corn syrup. It is very high in protein supplement in feeds for livestock, poultry and pets. It contains slightly more TDN than corn. The protein in corn gluten is degraded relatively slowly in the rumen.

A variety of corn gluten meal with 41 percent protein is available in some areas. It is higher in crude fiber (5 percent) and lower in TDN (78 percent) than the variety with 60 percent protein.

Corn gluten meal usually is not included in mixtures at levels greater than 15 percent or fed at a rate greater than 15 percent or fed at a rate greater than 5 pounds (2 ¼ kg) per cow per day due to poor palatability above these levels.

Corn gluten meal as an herbicide is used as a pre-emergent. This means that the corn gluten meal, in powdered form, is spread on bare earth. It prevents the emergence of weeds by creating a susceptibility to dehydration.

The corn gluten allows the weeds to germinate, but not to grow roots. The sequence of product use is critical. After applying the powdered form of corn gluten, wet the area, using a light spray of water. Then allow the area to dry out for up to 6 weeks. The weeds germinate and then die.

If used in gardens, the gardener can target an area by laying down the corn gluten and working it into the surface of the soil. Planting a seedling with established roots will allow the plant to grow, but weeds will be suppressed. The gardener needs to water only the established plant; a sprinkler system may cancel the effects of the corn gluten.

Corn gluten, a product once used only to supplement farm-animal feed and pet food, came into use as a completely chemical-free, natural and inexpensive product with which to control weeds. It contains no contaminants that can seep into the ground water, and no chemicals that can harm the environment or humans. The result is that weeds like crabgrass, dandelions, smart weed and purslane, among others, can be stopped before they take root.

Corn gluten meal, also called corn gluten powder, mainly consists of corn protein contains a small amount of starch and fiber. Less common corn protein powder particles, powder, orange yellow, Fried bean flavor, a little tasteless advanced corn protein powder granule, powder, golden brown, have bean fragrance. Due to the different USES and different production technology to produce corn protein flour nutrients, directly affecting the effective utilization and economic benefit of feed formula. Pure corn protein powder lead content is very low, because corn absorb from the soil around 0.2 0.3 mg/kg of lead. Almost to detect the normal case, if the lead content is exorbitant, indicates which may doped lead high leather meal, feather meal, etc.

Second, the real corn protein powder as wet corn starch or corn syrup of legal system, material removal of starch, corn Germ and corn husks after the rest of the product, its light golden brown, outside with the smell of grilled corn, and has a special corn fermentation smell, conventional detection appearance, moisture content, crude protein, such as three indicators, and amino acids and detection probability is very low.
