Uses and functions

It is used in livestock, poultry, and fish feed in various ways and at different levels. Its use increases the quality of feed in various ways.

It acts as a feed attractant due to its nutritional value and flavor.
It acts as a pellet binder.
It is used in livestock instead of chitagur as a liquid feed.
It increases the milk production of cows.
It is used in animal feed as a source of protein.
It increases the number of rumen micro-organisms, which increases the digestibility and feed intake.
It is used as a culture media for enzymes, antibiotics, and other fermented products.
It is used in the preparation of bait and fodder for fishing.
It plays an important role in stress reduction, nitrogen metabolism, and nutrient transport.
It is appreciated as a carrier for liquid vitamin-mineral medicine or feed supplement.
Corn steep liquor is usually liquid in nature. Its dry matter is 55%. It can be black, reddish, brown, and yellow in color.

Usage level

There is no specific rule or dosage in feed preparation. A

ccording to its nutritional value, it is used in feed formulation in accordance with the needs of the animal. Since it is an agro-industrial by-product or a completely organic food ingredient, it has no harmful effects. It can usually be used in doses of 2-40% or more. It can be fed directly and mixed with water.

20-40% in liquid feed preparation
20-40% as a source of protein
2-6% as a feed attractant
3-5% as a pellet binder
3-5% in total mix ration (TMR) preparation
2-3% in layer feed
1-2% in broiler feed
1-2% in golden/cockerel feed
5-10% in cattle feed
5-15% in fish feed
To be used as per the advice of a nutritionist.
