Product Description
Corn Gluten Meal is a high-protein feed ingredient widely used in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture diets. Derived from corn during the wet-milling process, it is rich in essential nutrients, including amino acids and energy, which are vital for promoting animal growth, enhancing feed efficiency, and supporting overall productivity. Its natural yellow pigmentation also serves as a source of xanthophylls, improving the egg yolk and skin color in poultry.
1. Name and Synonyms
The product is officially named Corn Gluten Meal and is widely recognized in the feed and agricultural industries. This standardized name ensures precise identification across various applications.
2. Chemical Identification
Corn Gluten Meal does not have a specific CAS number as it is a by-product of corn processing. It is categorized as a natural protein-rich feed ingredient and is consistently monitored to meet nutritional quality standards.
3. Appearance and Physical Properties
Corn Gluten Meal typically appears as a fine, free-flowing yellow powder or granules. Its bright color is attributed to its natural xanthophyll content, aiding in product identification and ensuring consistency during manufacturing and distribution.
4. Purity and Nutritional Value
Corn Gluten Meal has a protein content of ≥60% and is rich in digestible amino acids such as methionine and cysteine, making it an excellent protein source in animal feed. It also contains natural carotenoids, including xanthophylls, for pigmentation benefits in poultry.
5. Molecular Structure
As a natural feed product, Corn Gluten Meal is a complex composition of proteins, carbohydrates, and fiber. Its nutrient-rich profile supports growth and productivity in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture species.
1. Nutritional Role
L-Lysine Sulphate is an essential amino acid supplement and a critical component of animal nutrition. Animals cannot synthesize lysine internally, so it must be provided through the diet. L-Lysine Sulphate supports protein synthesis, promotes growth, and enhances feed utilization efficiency in livestock and poultry. It also plays a vital role in ensuring nitrogen balance, contributing to better overall health and productivity.
2. Benefits in Animal Nutrition
2.1 Growth Promotion
L-Lysine Sulphate is vital for the formation of proteins in the body, supporting growth and muscle development. Its supplementation helps animals achieve optimal weight gain, especially in fast-growing species like poultry and swine.
2.2 Feed Efficiency
By improving the feed conversion ratio (FCR), L-Lysine Sulphate enhances the utilization of dietary nutrients. This leads to cost-effective feed formulations and better production outcomes for livestock and aquaculture species.
2.3 Immune System Support
L-Lysine Sulphate contributes to immune system strength by supporting metabolic functions and protein metabolism, ensuring animals are better equipped to combat diseases and stress.
2.4 Protein Balance
As a building block of protein, lysine is necessary for balancing dietary amino acid profiles in animal feeds, particularly in corn and soybean-based diets that are often deficient in lysine.
3. Comparison of Effectiveness
L-Lysine Sulphate is a highly effective and economical source of lysine. Compared to lysine hydrochloride, L-Lysine Sulphate offers a lower chloride content, reducing the risk of dietary imbalances and making it suitable for broader feed applications. Its bioavailability and compatibility with other feed ingredients make it a preferred choice for animal nutrition.
4. Application Fields
Livestock and Poultry Nutrition:
L-Lysine Sulphate is extensively used in feed formulations for poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture species. It is particularly effective in intensive farming systems where growth rates and feed efficiency are essential for profitability.
Balancing Diets:
In regions where lysine is naturally deficient in feedstuffs such as corn and grains, L-Lysine Sulphate is used to supplement diets and ensure optimal animal performance.
Feed Premixes and Concentrates:
L-Lysine Sulphate is an integral component of feed premixes, enabling balanced diets and supporting sustainable animal production practices.
