CORNGOLD
CORNGOLD concentrates the goodness of corn into a multi–nutrient product for cattle, pigs, poultry and pets.
It is essentially corn gluten feed, the part of the kernel that remains after the larger portion of the starch, gluten and germ has been extracted during wet milling. CORNGOLD is a palatable, economic source of protein, energy, organic acid, vitamins and minerals. It is a valuable ingredient used in ruminant feed, sow diets, layer feeds and in dog food.
Product types
CORNGOLD is available as a dry loose meal, pellets or moist feed.
CORNGOLD for ruminants
CORNGOLD is a cost–effective, flexible alternative to grain and compound feed for ruminants. Moist CORNGOLD can be used in place of high quality corn silage. Thanks to the natural presence of fibre, proteins and starch, CORNGOLD helps stabilize and improve fermentation within the rumen.
CORNGOLD also contains glucogenic and aminogenic nutrients, essential for high yields of good quality milk. Glucogenic nutrients are converted into lactose, increasing milk production, while aminogenic nutrients are needed for the formation of milk protein.
Why use CORNGOLD for ruminants? It is:
- An excellent source of energy and protein
- Easy to ensile
- A natural source of organic acids
- Consistent, high quality
- Very palatable
CORNGOLD for pigs
Dietary fibre is a necessary component of pig feed, supporting the naturally–occurring healthy bacteria in a pig's intestine. CORNGOLD provides natural corn fibre alongside the starch, protein, organic acid, vitamins and minerals necessary in any pig's or sow's diet.
Why use CORNGOLD for pigs? It is:
- An excellent source of fibre, starch and protein
- Readily available
- Cost effective
CORNGOLD for poultry
Corn is a standard component of most compound poultry feeds. CORNGOLD is a cost–effective way of supplementing poultry feed with fibre, starch and protein, while maintaining a high quality, corn–based feed.
Why use CORNGOLD for poultry? It is:
- An excellent source of fibre, starch and protein
- Readily available
- Cost effective
CORNGOLD for pets
Corn is a nutrient–rich raw material, whose natural fibre content makes it an excellent component of dog food. Its naturally light cream colour is ideal for dog food pellets.
Why use CORNGOLD for pets? It is:
- An excellent source of fibre, starch and protein
- Readily available
- Ideal for pet food, because of its natural colouring

Shelf life and storage conditions:
Ensile the product carefully as soon as you receive it (it must be ensiled within 24 hours of delivery). We add organic acid at production to prevent mould formation and to improve ensiling conditions; however salt (NaCl) may be added to the top layer before covering in dark farm plastic or similar material to help prolong the life of the product. CORNGOLD may be co–ensiled with corn silage or other moist feed materials, and may be stored for up to 12 months when correctly ensiled.
