Corn Gluten
Description:
- This is a protein product obtained from corn grain processing and intended for use as a high-protein additive in compound feeds and feeding rations for livestock and poultry. It consists of high-molecular-weight proteins, zein and glutelin, which determine its value for various industries.
Storage conditions:
Store in dry, clean, pest-free, well-ventilated enclosed storage facilities at a temperature from -5 °C to +25 °C and relative humidity not exceeding 70%.
Shelf life:
12 months from the date of production
Packaging:
- Big bag 1,000 kg
Poultry farming
Used to increase the productivity of laying hens and the growth rate of broilers. The high carotenoid content improves the color of egg yolks.
Pig farming
Serves as a source of protein and energy.
Used as organic fertilizer
Provides soil with nitrogen, which is gradually released during decomposition.
Used in feed for fish, cats, and dogs
Applied as an ingredient in food supplements.
