Corn Gluten Meal

1. Product Overview

Corn Gluten Meal (CGM) is a high-protein, plant-based feed ingredient produced during corn wet-milling, valued for its concentrated protein and energy content. It is primarily used in animal nutrition, particularly in poultry, cattle, aquaculture, and pet-feed formulations. Its nutritional density supports efficient feed formulation, while its consistent composition makes it a commercially attractive alternative or complement to other protein sources. CGM is strategically important for large-scale feed manufacturers seeking reliable, cost-effective plant-based nutrition inputs.
