Hi-Gel™ Corn: For a More Efficient Livestock Industry

Hi-Gel™ corn has been a game-changer in animal nutrition, with starch gelatinization of over 90%, it’s a highly digestible and nutritionally efficient replacement for typical ground corn. To continue to prove this, we have conducted several trials in recent years to prove Hi-Gel’s effectiveness, so we wanted to summarize these results in one convenient place for you

Poultry
In broilers, the highly gelatinized starch in Hi-Gel™ corn allows for easier digestion and better nutrient absorption. This results in faster growth rates and a reduction in the time to reach market weight, leading to cost savings for producers. A recent study with Iowa State University showed broilers fed Hi-Gel™ corn instead of traditional ground corn, in combination with ExPress soy meal, reach market weight 4 days earlier, demonstrating its improved efficiency and economic benefits

Dairy
In dairy cows, Hi-Gel™ corn significantly boosts milk production. The highly digestible starch and increased energy availability from Hi-Gel™ corn enhance the efficiency of rumen fermentation, leading to better utilization of feed and increased milk yield. Research from Penn State University found that dairy cows fed with Hi-Gel™ corn exhibited enhanced milk production of an additional 1 lb per head per day compared to those fed with steam-flaked corn and canola meal

Hi-Gel™ corn makes for a superior choice in improving animal performance and reducing feed costs. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the benefits of this powerful ingredient
