82 ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON STOCK FEEDS AND FEEDING 



Glucose and Starch By-Products. — There are many by-products 

 left from the manufacture of glucose and starch. These by- 

 products usually come from the grain of corn. Gluten meal, 

 gluten feed, corn bran, hominy feed, feed meal and corn germ 

 meal are corn by-products, i. Gluten meal is derived from the 

 nitrogenous portion of the corn grain, known as the gluten 

 layer. This feed is not so common on our markets as formerly. 

 2. Gluten feed is ground corn grain minus the starch. 3. Corn 

 bran is made up of the outer husks or coverings of the corn 

 grain. 4. Corn germ meal is generally the ground corn germs 

 with more or less of the oil extracted. 5. Hominy feed and 

 feed meal are the by-products from the manufacture of hominy 

 grits and starch. They vary in composition and usually consist 

 of the softer parts of the corn kernel and sometimes they contain 



corn bran.

Suggestion : — Require the students to bring as many different 

 kinds of breakfast foods as possible to the classroom. Have 

 them state the grains from which they were made and the part 

 or parts that were eliminated in manufacture.
