Corn steep liquor is used as a nutrient for microorganisms in the production of enzymes, antibiotics, and other fermentation
products.
It is sometimes combined with other ingredients in corn gluten feed and widely used in complete feeds for dairy and beef cattle, poultry, and pet foods.
It may also be sold separately as a liquid protein source for beef or dairy rations.
