After fermentation, ethanol is separated by distillation while the water and non-fermentable materials (known as whole stillage) are decanted or centrifuged which results in wet cake (e.g., removed suspended solids) and soluble solid-laden water (i.e., thin stillage). Evaporation of the thin stillage produces condensed distillers solubles (known as CDS) which can then mixed into the wet cake, and then dried to produce a variety of coproducts. These coproducts are broadly known as...

Use of DDGS in poultry and other animal feeds can reduce feed cost. It is 28 available protein. It is cheaper than soyabean meal and fish meal proteins. We can formulate this cheap source of protein to control cost of production of eggs, which is needed in todays world. It can also contribute to add other micro nutrients like Ca,P,Mg,k,Na,S, Fe etc.Farmers can add upto 1520 in feed. It increases palatability and provides granular appearance to feed which especially birds prefers. Any toxin...

DDGS can be used in poultry and swine feeds, provided that its quality meets nutritionist's expectations. As an industrial by-product from the ethanol industry, its composition may vary not only among suppliers but also in the course of time, depending on the cereals coming in and technological management of the plant. Therefore, we strongly recommend controlling DDGS quality as frequently as possible. NIR (Near Infrared Reflectance) offers the possibility to...

Held every other year by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) and Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), Export Exchange brings together international buyers and U.S. sellers of distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), as well as other feed grain products. The 2016 event is expected to attract nearly 500 attendees, including 200 from 30 countries participating as part of USGC trade teams.

We conducted a study evaluating the growth performance and total tract nutrient digestion of heifers fed diets high in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) with different forage particle size. Particle size is important for rumen fermentation and rumination. Large forage particles help stimulate rumination which aids in buffering with saliva. Buffering may be important when considering feeding DDGS because it is considered an acidic feedstuff with a pH...

INTRODUCTION When attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to calculate the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of corn ethanol the consequences of feeding by-products from ethanol production (DDGS) must be taken into account. Current LCA approaches assume that there are fixed ratios for substituting by-products for a few feed ingredients. This assumption is only partially correct due to the dynamics of the animal feeding industry. ...

Fat is the milk component most easily modified by the diet with possible changes of up to 3 percentage units (Jenkins, 2007). Nutrition represents the environmental factor with the greatest impact on milk fat and it is a tool that can be used to alter its fatty acid composition. Milk fat depression (MFD) occurs when specific diets cause reduction in milk fat concentration and yield, in addition of changing is fatty acid (FA) composition (Bauman and Griinari, 2001). Least-cost...

Does Grain Need to be Processed? Although it is possible to feed whole grain to cattle, it is normally processed for a variety of reasons. Reduced separation and sorting of feed It is impossible to mix protein, mineral, or vitamin supplements and feed additives with whole grain and have the material stay well mixed from the mixer to the animals mouth. If whole grain is fed, mix the grain and supplement together with silage to help keep it...

Across the Midwest, ethanol plants (primarily dry mill vs. wet mill process) are being planned and built and existing plants expanded. Today over 98 percent of commercially produced ethanol is used to extend gasoline. The attributes of ethanol allow it to be utilized as an octane booster, replacing gasoline additives such as lead and benzene, and as the preferred oxygenate for gasoline replacing MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether). Ethanol maintains widespread support for its ability to...
