Ethanol byproducts or coproducts (I may use the two terms interchangeably) result from the fermentation of grains, typically corn, to produce ethanol – either for fuel use or for human consumption plus distillers grains and possibly other byproducts. Most of the ethanol produced in the U.S.A. today is via dry grinding, with dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) as the main byproduct (Rau...

Objectives- To evaluate the most important bovine digital lesions in shahrekord area and its correlation with locomotion scoring. Study Design- Cross- Sectional descriptive study. Animals- five hundred and eighteen cows inspected in two seasons. Methods- Three dairy farms on three scales (1: Large, approximately 900 milking cows, 2: Medium, approximately 100 milking cows, and 3: Small, app...

The influence of including 20% whole corn, differing in grain hardness, on the performance, nutrient utilization and gut characteristics of broiler starters was investigated. The experimental design was a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments evaluating corn hardness (hard, semi hard or soft) with diets based on ground corn or 20% of ground corn replaced by whole corn. The 3 corn cultivars ...

In a 162-day finishing study, steers were fed various levels of dried distillers grains with solubles (DGS) with ground ear corn harvested at 45% moisture, and compared with steers fed 25% DGS, rolled corn, and corn silage. Steers fed the highest level of DGS (37.5% of diet DM) with ground high-moisture ear corn had the lowest ADG and DMI, but F:G tended to be improved by feeding 25% and 37.5% ...

production of lignocellulolytic enzymes by the thermotolerant fomes sp. eum1 was determined in solid cultures using corn stover (cs) as a sole substrate or supplemented with 20 % wheat bran (cs+wb). this supplementation increased (p< 0.05) enzymatic activity per gram of initial dry matter (gdm) for xylanases and cellulases: 160 iu g dm-1 and 37 iu g dm-1, respectively; while laccases reached a ...
