Corn Gluten Meal
Introduction
Its high content of Xanthophyll gives a clear yellow colour to egg yolks and chicken meat. Corn gluten meal is also a valued protein source in organic feed production and due to its high digestibility in aqua feed. Because of its low ash content, corn gluten meal is a common ingredient for pet food formulations.
