tein. Consequently, feedingcorn gluten meal to highproducing ruminants increasesthe amount and qualityof amino acids availablefor absorption 107, 108 .MineralsMinerals are essential to allanimals in that they givestructural integrity to bonesand teeth, help regulate bodypH and osmolarity and act ascofactors for a multitude ofenzymes. Corn wet milledfeedstuffs are high in phosphorus(Table 4), which is themost costly mineral routinelyadded to livestock andpoultry diets. Thesefeedstuffs are also excellentsources of potassium, magnesiumand sulfur. Sulfur isespecially beneficial in dietsfor ruminants containinglarge amounts of non-proteinnitrogen. Wet milledfeedstuffs are also a goodsource of trace minerals,particularly iron and zinc.These feedstuffs are low incalcium and sodium, whichare relatively inexpensive toadd to most diets.VitaminsVitamins are essential toanimals in that they are requiredfor metabolism ofother dietary nutrients. Cornwet milled feeds are goodsources of most of the B-vitaminsand choline (Table 5).Corn gluten meal is a goodsource of carotenoids, whichhave vitamin A activity.Table 5.Amino Acid Content of Corn Wet Milled FeedsUnit Corn Gluten Corn Gluten Corn Germ Corn SteepFeed Meal Meal LiquorDry Matter % 90 90 90 50VitaminsCholine mg/lb 688 160 738 1550Niacin mg/lb 32 27 13 38Riboflavin mg/lb .9 .9 1.8 2.7Thiamin mg/lb .9 .1 2 1.3Biotin mg/lb .15 .08 .1 .15Carotene mg/lb 3 7.27 .9 0Amino AcidsArginine % .78 2.08 1.30 1.00Histidine % .61 1.40 0.69 .70Isoleucine % .88 2.54 .69 .70Leucine % 2.20 10.23 1.79 2.0Lysine % .64 1.01 .90 .80Methionine % .37 1.78 .58 .50Threonine % .78 2.20 1.09 .90Tryptophane % .15 .30 .20 .0523
ANALYTICALEXAMINATIONOF FEEDPRODUCTSMembers of the Corn RefinersAssociation maintain thehighest quality control standardson their products.However, some variation innutrient content of feedstuffsproduced at various plants isinevitable. When formulatingdiets for economic advantages,knowing the exactnutrient concentration is ofcritical importance.Through its Technical AffairsCommittee, the CornRefiners Association hasdeveloped a number of analyticalmethods applicableto examination of corn wetmilled feedstuffs. Thesemethods are published inAnalytical Methods of theMember Companies, availablefrom the Association’swebsite, www.corn.org.In addition to those methodsdeveloped by the Corn RefinersAssociation, the Associationof Official AnalyticalChemists has developed analyticalmethods for someproperties not included in theCorn Refiners Associationmethods (such as neutral andacid detergent fiber, aminoacids, acid detergent lignin)which may be used in theexamination of feedstuffs.Together, these methodsprovide detailed proceduresto accurately determine theconcentration of nutrientsand other important propertiesof wet milled feed products.24
