Hominy feed, a byproduct of the corn milling process, is comprised of corn bran, germ, and starchy components. It boasts a high fiber content along with moderate levels of protein and fat, rendering it a nutritious option for livestock. Its primary application lies in animal feed, furnishing a blend of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber to support the dietary needs and healthy development of livestock.
The primary varieties of hominy feed are white hominy and yellow hominy. White hominy denotes dried maize kernels that have undergone treatment with an alkali solution, eliminating the hull and germ and imparting a distinctive texture and flavor. Available in both whole and crushed forms, white hominy is processed using both traditional and modern industrial techniques. End users encompass livestock or animal feed producers, pet food manufacturers, ethanol production, and various other sectors.
