NordFeed Corn/Maize Bran

NordFeed Corn/Maize bran is a by-product of various corn/maize processing industries, including starch and ethanol production, and the production of maize-based foods. While corn/maize bran theoretically consists of the bran coating removed in the early stages of processing, the corn/maize bran sold for livestock feeding is usually a mixture of the bran fraction and other by-products and is, therefore, a very loosely defined product of highly variable composition. In the case of ethanol production, corn/maize bran is defined as the mixture of the bran fraction and distillers solubles. In the starch extraction process, corn/maize bran is usually mixed with steep liquor to produce corn gluten feed. In the production of maize grits by the dry milling process, corn/maize bran is mixed with broken kernels, germ residue after oil extraction, and inseparable fractions of germ, pericarp and endosperm to produce hominy feed.
