Product Overview

About Corn Gluten Meal (CGM)

Corn Gluten Meal (CGM) is the protein fraction recovered after starch separation in our wet-milling process. Rich in zein protein and natural yellow xanthophyll pigments, it is a premium ingredient for high-value aquaculture and pigmentation-focused poultry feeds.

Our 60% CGM is dried under controlled conditions to preserve amino acid profile and pigment content. It is routinely exported to salmon, trout, and shrimp feed mills worldwide.

The natural yellow pigmentation of CGM eliminates the need for synthetic xanthophyll supplementation in broiler and egg-layer diets targeting deep-yellow skin and yolk colouration.
