Key Parameters

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
