Nutrient corn germs for animal feed
Lacadée, votre fournisseur de germes de maïs à l'international
To purchase maize germs with monitored lots, regular volumes and an identified technical contact, control of the chain counts from the origin of the grain. At Lacadée Agro-Industrie, this is the logic we adopt.
For example, you have a co-product of corn made from conventional GM-free maize, with a follow-up adapted to industrial purchases in France and exports (United Kingdom, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, South Korea, Spain).
How are our corn germs obtained?
The corn germ corresponds to the germinal fraction of the grain, separated during the first processing.
It is naturally present in the heart of the grain. When first processed into a maize plant, the maize is cleaned and then mechanically split to separate its different parts: almond, envelopes and germ. This stage of unemployment allows the germ to be isolated before further processing of meal, gritz and flour. At Lacadée Agro-Industrie, the mastery of this separation makes it possible to enhance the maize germ as a co-product intended in particular for animal feed, where its protein and fat richness and digestibility are particularly interesting.
Corn germs, ideal for feeding livestock
Source of protein and fat
Maize germs have a nutritional value particularly suited to animal feed due to their high protein and fat content. Their high degree of digestibility also promotes the proper assimilation of nutrients and contributes to animal development. They are thus an interesting ingredient for formulations intended in particular for cattle, pigs and sheep, providing an additional source of energy and nutrients.
A useful co-product for formulators and buyers
For a food manufacturer, a trader or a production manager, interest is not just about composition. Interlot regularity, particle size, humidity and storage are equally important in the purchase decision. It is on these points that the fluidity at the factory, the stability of the supplies and the consistency of your formulations is involved. At Lacadée, the maize germs for animal feed in this industrial logic, with documentation and batch tracking.
Why choose germs rather than other corn co-products?
Compare according to your formulation objective
Not all corn co-products perform the same function. Corn germ does not compare to grain equal to sound, dreches or gluten feed.
If you are looking for a fraction more directly related to energy and appetite, the germ may be relevant.
Choose according to the regularity sought at the factory
Beyond the nutritional profile, your choice often depends on very concrete elements:
- Conveyance behaviour
- Apparent density
- Uniformity of lots
- Storage constraints
- Availability by volume
It is this field reading that we bring to industrialists who want to secure their germ fraction sourcing on several campaigns or on regular export flows.
Quality and traceability of our maize germs
Health security is not just a trade declaration. For maize germsit is based on checks, records and usable traceability.
In our corn mill, we track our material from collection to shipment of the lot. This continuity facilitates document checks and dialogue with your quality teams, including on contaminants, hygiene and product compliance issues.
Packaging, logistics and export availability
Formats adapted to industrial flows
Depending on your organization, corn germs can be shipped in bulk, big bag or other formats to be defined with your supply team. The right choice depends on your consumption rate, reception equipment and storage constraints.
A site anchored locally, an activity oriented towards the international
Our maize plant is located at Pole 1, Route Départementale 817, 64300 Mont, in the heart of an agricultural basin historically linked to corn. This anchor facilitates continuity between collection, drying, storage and processing. Commercial activity goes well beyond 64, with announced shipments to the United Kingdom, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, South Korea and Spain. If you have a project in France or export, send your monthly volume, your desired format and your destination: our team returns a feasibility study and a quote.
Our fodder flours, suitable for feeding ruminants
Our forage flours, obtained during grain milling, have an energy profile suitable for feeding ruminants, cattle and sheep.
These so-called degermage flours or second-hand flours, rich in starches,
are equipped with sounds to form complete feed for livestock.
Among the forage flours, Lacadee offers you:
- Granulated feed meal
- Simple feed meal
They make it possible to enhance the different fractions of the grain while providing a raw material of cereal origin to manufacturers of feed. As with all our products, particular attention is paid to the regularity of consignments, traceability and control of the material.

Your questions about our corn germs
From the choice of the product to its delivery, discover the essential points to check to integrate our corn germs into your formulations and secure your supply.
What animal formulations are corn germs suitable for?
Thanks to their wealth in protein and fat corn germs are an interesting ingredient for livestock feed as well as for digestibility. In particular, they may be incorporated into formulations intended for cattle, pigs and sheep, according to nutritional objectives and specifications.
What criteria must be taken into account to source corn germs?
Beyond the nutritional profile, several characteristics can influence their integration into your process: batch regularity, particle size, humidity, apparent density, transport behaviour, storage conditions and volume availability. These elements must be studied according to your formulation and your industrial organization.
How do you ensure the regularity of your corn germs?
The germs are obtained during the degermation and mechanical fractionation of the corn in our maize plant. Our mastery of the industry, from collection to processing, ensures a lot and raw material monitoring. This organization aims to provide industry with a regular and documented material to secure their formulations and supplies.
Are your corn germs from GMO-free corn?
Yes. The germs proposed by Lacadée Agro-Industrie come from conventional non-GMO corn. The material is monitored from collection to shipping to ensure the traceability of the lots and to facilitate the documentary checks of your purchasing and quality teams.
What packs do you offer for corn germs?
Depending on your organization and reception constraints, corn germs can be offered in bulk, big bag or other formats to be defined with our team. Packaging can be studied according to your volume, consumption rate, reception equipment and storage capacity.
Can you ensure a regular supply in France and export?
Lacadée Agro-Industrie accompagne des clients en France et sur plusieurs marchés internationaux, notamment au United Kingdom, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain and South Korea. To study the feasibility of your supply, send us your volumes, destination, packaging and quality requirements.
