The United Soybean Board and the soybean checkoff continue developing new uses and new demand for soybeans in all lands of the world, and even the ocean holds great potential for soy. Thanks in part to checkoff research and marketing efforts, soybean meal has increasingly become a key ingredient in fish feeds as the aquaculture industry strives to meet global demand for its products. "Fish meal is getting scarce and more costly, creating a market opportunity for more...

With the rapid expansion of ethanol and biodiesel production in Iowa, there are questions about possible uses for what remains after these alternative fuels leave the plant. So far, the use of ethanol by-products in animal feed has received most of the attention. But researchers at Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Services (ARS) also are studying a biodiesel by-product in swine and poultry feed. Biodiesel often is made from...

The European Union Commission announced that it has approved two biotech corn products for food, feed, import and processing jointly developed by DuPont and Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. Corn products containing the Herculex® RW Rootworm Protection trait (also known as 59122 maize) and the Herculex® I insect protection trait stacked with Roundup Ready® Corn 2 (also known as 1507xNK603 maize) are now permitted for import into the European Union...

Scientists from the University of Saskatchewan in Canada have reviewed the effects of processing technologies on nutritional properties of soybean meal, canola meal, peas, lupins and flax in aquaculture diets. The replacement of fish meal with plant proteins in aquaculture diets presents several problems. Firstly, aquaculture diets, particularly diets for carnivorous fish species, are nutrient dense and may contain up to 450 g crude protein (CP)/kg. Such diets preclude the use of...

Distiller's grain, the byproduct of ethanol production, can now be pelletized economically, research scientists say. So if you're asking what's so hot about that, consider its use first. One hundred percent of distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a byproduct of ethanol production, can be pelletized without adding a binding agent or anything else, according to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and cooperators. ARS agricultural engineeer Kurt Rosentrater has...

Animal agriculture has undergone remarkable change and growth during the past few decades, and it will continue to change in the coming years to meet higher demand for low-cost, healthy and convenient products. In addition to the expanding markets, animals are being genetically selected for ever increasing growth performance and efficiency. This change in production efficiency has been most notable in the poultry industry. The future presents new consumer-driven challenges that are...

Any attempt to predict the future should be based on sound assumptions and counting the variables into the projection to get a feeling where we are heading and what the drivers are that may determine the factors of what lies ahead of us. This paper follows the style of other researchers and will show 10 major...

A consolidated, more efficient feed industry is emerging, with scaled up plants and improved infrastructure In the Yangtze Delta port of Zhanjiagang north of Shanghai, an ADM soybean extraction plant can crush 13,000 tonnes of imported beans per day. The state-owned company Nanyang Tianguan Enterprise Group in Henan province has opened a starch plant that processes 4,000 tonnes of wheat daily. At the northeastern Port of Dalian, a new malthouse soaks 1,500 tonnes of...

In a short "Facts & Fears" article, the American Council on Science and Health suggests that Bt corn and other GM crops could be safer than organic ones. Authors L. Andrew Staehelin (University of Colorado) and David A. Christopher (University of Hawaii) state that organic foods are often presented to consumers as representing the ultimate standard in food safety and healthfulness, an image which is used to justify premium prices. They also suggest that the organics...

Buyers of Canadian grains, both international and domestic, have started voicing their concern over the rising cost of products as a result of expanding North American ethanol production. Increasing Demand for Ethanol Production Pushes Up Grain Prices “With the ethanol industry growing so very rapidly the grains industry really hasn’t had a chance to catch up and provide enough volume for those industries [ethanol and livestock] and...

The federal district court for Northern California in San Francisco Thursday ordered USDA to conduct an environmental impact assessment of Roundup Ready alfalfa. Judge Charles Breyer also made permanent his earlier injunction that forbade farmers from any further planting of the biotech crop.
Will Rostov is senior attorney for the Center for Food Safety in San Francisco, one of a number of groups which brought the case against USDA that resulted in Thursday's decision. Rostov told Brownfield...

Hogs that are fed high amounts of an ethanol byproduct that is a cheap alternative to corn could have excessive fat levels and the quality of certain pork products could be lowered, university scientists said.
Demand for distillers grain as a feed alternative has picked up following the rise in corn prices to 10-year highs this year, which has been fueled by the ethanol industry's voracious appetite for the grain.
Dry distillers' grains with solubles, or DDGS, can be used as livestock...

A report providing guidelines for feeding distillers dried grains with solubles to swine is now available at local University of Illinois Extension offices. "Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in diets fed to swine" was prepared by U of I Extension swine specialist Hans H. Stein.
"DDGS is produced from the fuel ethanol industry and is available for inclusion in diets fed to swine," he explained. "During recent years, several research projections have been completed to investigate...

Driven by growing ethanol demand, United States farmers intend to plant 15pc more land to corn in 2007, according to the latest Prospective Plantings report from the US Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Producers plan to plant 90.5 million acres of corn, the largest area since 1944 and 12.1m acres more than in 2006.
Expected corn acreage is up in nearly all states, due to favorable prices fueled by increased demand from ethanol producers, as well as...

Co-products are used in the feed industry worldwide, especially those that come from the cereal and flour industry or from rendering at meat and poultry processing plants. Co-products such as wheat middlings, meat and bone meal and feather meal are widely used and have been extensively tested and described. In contrast, in developing countries emerging human food industries related to fruits and plants are generating increasing amounts of co-products that are largely unexplored as potential...
