Pig producers would like to keep their costs down by supplementing livestock feed with dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS) and other agricultural coproducts generated from biofuel production. But adding hard-to-digest fiber to livestock diets also increases the production of manure—never a good thing, especially when it threatens to exceed on-farm storage capacities. So&nbs...
