Maize Gluten Meal (MGM)
Maize Gluten Meal (MGM)
Maize gluten meal (MGM) is a byproduct of the corn wet-milling process, which involves steeping corn in water and then separating the various components of the corn kernel. MGM is a high-protein feed ingredient that contains approximately 60-70% protein, making it a valuable source of amino acids for animal nutrition.
MGM is produced by separating the corn gluten from the other components of the corn kernel, such as starch and fiber. The corn gluten is then dried and ground into a fine powder, which can be used in animal feed formulations.
MGM is a versatile feed ingredient that can be used in a variety of animal diets, including those for poultry, swine, and cattle. It is often used as a partial replacement for soybean meal or other protein sources, as it is more cost-effective and has similar nutritional characteristics.
