Corn Gluten Meal Production Cost Reports

Corn Gluten Meal production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Corn Gluten Meal production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Corn Gluten Meal. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Corn Gluten Meal is the co-product derived during the production of maize starch (or ethanol) using the wet-milling process. The meal is rich in protein and has around 65 percent crude protein (DM), which is used as a protein, energy and pigment source for livestock species, including fish. It appears to be fine yellow available in both powder and granular form. It is also added to pet food due to its high protein digestibility. It can also be used as a fertilizer and pre-emergent weed killer. Its products are non-toxic and also good for replacing traditional chemical-based weed as well as feed products.

Corn gluten meal is available as wet or dried, dried being more common. It is rich in protein comprising 60 to 75 percent crude protein (DM), 15-20 percent of residual starch in the DM, as well as some amounts of fibre (crude fibre 1 percent DM), fat (3 percent DM) and minerals (2 percent). It also has high gross energy content (23.1 MJ/kg DM) and energy digestibility (more than 90 percent in ruminants and pigs).

Primarily it is used as a feed source for poultry, cattle, pigs, and aqua, propelling the industry. In addition, it finds application as an herbicide that helps in weed control. Furthermore, it is used as a supplement in hog feed and a natural protein source employed as a plant food in lawns and gardens, driving its market growth. As it is natural, chemical-free, inexpensive, and has no contaminants, its popularity across end-user industries is rising.
