چکیده
Brought to you by Nebraska corn producers through their corn checkoff dollars— expanding demand for Nebraska corn and value-added products. INTRODUCTION Across the United States, ethanol production continues to expand with monthly production records being set.With the continued expansion in production, co-products have emerged as excellent feed sources for livestock. For purposes of this manual, co-products is defined as the feed product that remains following the wet mill or dry mill process. Research by various institutions and private companies continues to look at the characteristics and usages of co-products.This manual will provide you with an overview of research that has been completed, as well as a quick futuristic view of what may still need to be completed to help answer additional questions. The production of ethanol is broken down into two main processes, the wet mill and dry mill. Each process produces different co-products. The wet mill process starts with the corn kernel being soaked to soften the kernel.This is done to facilitate the separation of the various component parts, prior to it being processed into ethanol. From this wet mill process comes two feed co-products in corn gluten feed and corn gluten meal. Shown below is a flow chart for the wet mill process. In the dry mill process, the entire corn kernel is ground into a meal and then fermented into alcohol. From this process, one of the co-products is distillers wet grains, which can be dried. Shown below is a flow chart for the dry mill process. On page 28 you will find definitions for the terms that are used in the research reviews of this manual. We hope that you find this manual to be a valuable source of information on the usage and characteristics of the various co-products. Thanks to Dr.

Feeding of Wet Corn Milling Byproducts to Beef Cattle
Corn milling byproducts are expected to increase dramatically in supply. Two primary types of milling processes currently exist, resulting in quite different feed products. The dry milling process produces distillers grains plus solubles, and the wet milling process produces corn gluten feed. These feeds can be marketed as wet feed, or they can be dried and marketed as either dry corn gluten fe...
متن کاملEffects of Co-Products and Breed of Sire on the Performance, Carcass Characteristics, and Rates of Ultrasound Backfat and Marbling Deposition in Feedlot Cattle
Recently, high prices have driven producers to replace corn partially or totally with more affordable ingredients. A total of 1,256 DNA-validated progeny from Angus (n = 241), Simmental (n = 599), Simmental × Angus (SA; n = 296), and 75% Simmental (75S; n = 120) sires were used to evaluate the effects of feedlot nutrition and sire breed on the performance, carcass characteristics, and rates of ...
متن کاملFeeding Ethanol Byproducts to Dairy and Beef Cattle1
Distillers grains with solubles (DGS) and corn gluten feed (CGF) are the major byproducts of ethanol production fed to cattle. Both DGS and CGF can be fed wet or dried with animal performance usually similar when fed as wet or dried products; however, some research results favored the wet products. Cattle diets can contain DGS or CGF as replacements for portions of both concentrates and forages...
متن کاملPerformance and digestibility characteristics of finishing diets containing distillers grains, composites of corn processing coproducts, or supplemental corn oil.
Three experiments evaluated the lipids in distillers grains plus solubles compared with corn or other sources of lipid in finishing diets. Experiment 1 utilized 60 individually fed yearling heifers (349 +/- 34 kg of BW) fed treatments consisting of 0, 20, or 40% (DM basis) wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS), or 0, 2.5, or 5.0% (DM basis) corn oil in a finishing diet based on high-moistu...
