Defatted Corn Germ Meal — Specifications

Protein
≥ 20%
High protein content makes defatted corn germ meal a cost-effective partial replacement for soybean meal in compound feed formulations
Moisture
≤ 12%
Low moisture critical for safe storage and maritime shipping. Prevents mould growth and maintains product nutritional integrity
Residual Fat
≤ 2%
Solvent-extracted defatting process results in very low residual fat — improving shelf stability and allowing precise formulation by nutritionists
Crude Fibre
≤ 10%
Moderate fibre level suitable for poultry, swine, and aquaculture feeds. Higher fibre grades available for ruminant applications
