“…The by-products obtained from both wet-milling and dry-milling industrial processes of maize grain are potential feed ingredients for poultry [12,1 ] as depicted by the favourable nutrient composition of these by-products Table particularly in terms of protein content. The major by-product ingredients include the germ, bran and gluten [ 4].…”

“…These by-products of maize are usually mixed to produce a feed ingredient called maize gluten feed [ 2]. Despite the nutritional potential of maize gluten feed as a feedstuf for poultry, its use has been minimal due variously to paucity of research information available [ 5], perceived low metabolisable energy content [12, ] and unknown quality of the protein [12] .…”

“…The by-products include germ, bran and gluten which are suitable for feeding farm animals [12]. The gluten, in particular, is high in protein and metabolisable energy as well as a concentrated source of xanthophylls pigments, which make it popular in poultry production [2].…”

Maize, also known as corn Zea mays L , has been recognised worldwide as a major energy feed ingredient in the diets of poultry. Its major nutritional limitation has been the low protein content and poor protein quality, which necessitates the use of expensive highprotein supplements or synthetic amino acids such as lysine in diets containing large proportion of maize. Therefore, extensive research has been conducted by maize breeders on the world maize germplasms collection with the aim of improving its nutritive value, particularly protein quality for monogastric animals. This chapter assesses the genetic upgrading of the nutritional quality of maize protein that culminated in the development of a new class of maize known as "Quality Protein Maize QPM ". Various studies on the nutritionally improved maize for poultry as well as future challenges confronting maize utilisation in poultry production are highlighted.
