Corn Germ

Description

🌽 Corn Germ – A Natural Source of Energy and Nutrients

Corn germ is a valuable by-product obtained during the processing of yellow corn kernels. Although it accounts for only 8–14% of the kernel’s total weight, it contains the majority of the grain’s biologically active components in a concentrated form. This ingredient is widely used in both the food industry (for producing corn oil and gluten) and the feed industry — particularly in high-energy compound feeds for cattle, pigs, poultry, and other farm animals.

🔬 Composition and Nutritional Value:

Corn germ has an exceptional chemical profile, with 95–99% of the active substances found in the whole grain. Its key characteristics include:

High oil content — 18–20%, making it an excellent source of natural energy;

Presence of proteins, starch, sugars (including sucrose), and essential minerals;

Rich vitamin composition, including:

Vitamin E (a natural antioxidant),

β-carotene (provitamin A),

B vitamins: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), folic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin,

Vitamin K.

🐄 Versatile Applications in Agriculture and Feed Industry

Corn germ is a natural feed ingredient that boosts weight gain, supports immunity, and improves overall animal health. Thanks to its high content of plant-based fats and easily digestible carbohydrates, it serves as an effective energy source in feeds for ruminants, pigs, poultry, and is widely used in the production of compound feed.

The product requires no additional processing, retains its natural aroma and taste, stores well, and is ideal for long-distance transportation.
