Corn gluten feed is a by-product of the wet milling process. Wet milling separates the corn kernel into starch, oil, protein, and bran. First, the corn is soaked in sulfurous acid. The resulting steep liquor contains protein, minerals, vitamins, and energy sources. The starch and oil are extracted from the swollen kernel. The remaining fiber or bran is mixed with the steep liquor. The wet corn gluten feed can be dried to about 90 percent dry matter and is called Dry Corn Gluten Feed. Prorich Agro Private Limited is the leading supplier of Corn Gluten Feed Manufacturers in India.
If diets are formulated to meet the protein requirements and the diets are similar in energy, then corn gluten feed is approximately equal to soybean meal as a protein source. Therefore, if soybean meal (45 percent crude protein) is worth Rs. 50000/ton, then dried corn gluten feed would be worth about Rs. 21000/ton as a protein source. However, the quality of amino acid content is lower for corn gluten feed than soybean meal.
