Germ meal is an animal feed that is rich in essential nutrients. Germ meal is used as animal feed due to its high content of proteins and nutrients. It is the by-product obtained from the oil extraction process of many seeds and pulses. It is a reliable source of protein, oil, fiber, and starch. It readily absorbs liquids like molasses and tallow and is, therefore, a very useful carrier of liquid nutrients.
Factors fuelling the growth of the market are increasing concern regarding the health of animals and increasing diseases associated with unhealthy feed. These vitamins and proteins play an essential role in all the life cycles of the animals and are henceforth very essential. However, expensive processing costs and limited awareness are the factors hindering the growth of the market.
