Description
China struggles to find enough protein for animal feed, and corn gluten meal is rich in protein yet hard for animals to use because its protein will not dissolve in water. Fan and co-authors fermented the meal with two microbes and an acid enzyme to free its glutamine and small protein pieces. They then fed the product to broiler chickens to test how well it worked.
Fermentation raised the soluble protein by about sixty-nine percent and the glutamine content sevenfold, with clear gains in small peptides and lactic acid too. Diets with fifteen or thirty percent of the fermented meal improved the chickens' growth and gut health. The gut microbe mix also shifted toward helpful types, including more Lactobacillus. The authors present the fermented meal as a workable home-grown protein source that could ease the feed shortage.
