Product Overview

About Corn Gluten Feed (CGF)

Corn Gluten Feed (CGF) is the fibre-and-bran fraction remaining after the starch, germ, and gluten have been separated from the kernel. Our CGF is blended with corn steep liquor to increase protein content, then dried and pelletised for easy handling.

Ruminant nutritionists favour CGF for its balanced energy-and-protein profile, palatability, and buffering effect on rumen pH. It is a cornerstone ingredient in North American, European, and Chinese dairy rations.

Available in meal (≥18% CP) and pelletised (21% CP with steep liquor) forms.
