Corn gluten meal is a by-product from the manufacture of corn
starch and corn syrup. It is very high in protein supplement in
feeds for livestock, poultry and pets. It contains slightly more
TDN than corn. The protein in corn gluten is degraded relatively
slowly in the rumen.
A variety of corn gluten meal with *1 percent protein is available
in some areas. It is higher in crude fiber (5 percent) and lower in
TDN (*8 percent) than the variety with *0 percent protein.
Corn gluten meal usually is not included in mixtures at levels
greater than *5 percent or fed at a rate greater than *5 percent or
fed at a rate greater than 5 pounds (2 ¼ kg) per cow per day due to
poor palatability above these levels.
