Corn Gluten Meal
Corn gluten meal (often simply called CGM) is a byproduct of corn (maize) processing that has historically been
used as an animal feed (take note that the expression gluten here is inexact; there is no true gluten in corn, but
simply corn proteins. The expression “corn gluten” is colloquial jargon that describes corn proteins that are
neither gliadin nor glutenin. CGM is used as an inexpensive protein source for pet foods. However, some dogs
and cats may develop an allergy to corn after eating CGM for an extended amount of time. It is an especially
good source of the amino acid cysteine, but must be balanced with other proteins for lysine. It is also used for
livestock and poultry feeds.
