Composition And Nutritive Value Of Corn Fractions And Ethanol Co-Products Resulting From A New Dry-Milling Process, Greg B. Kleinhans, Robbi H. Pritchard, Simone M. Holt
South Dakota Beef Report, 2005
The development of a new dry-milling process for the production of corn ethanol has resulted in new feedstuffs. This process fractionates the corn kernel prior to fermentation. Pre-fermentation fractions include bran, germ, and endosperm. Post-fermentation fractions include dried distillers grains (DDG) and condensed distiller solubles (syrup). Proximate analysis was conducted on these fractions along with the parent corn sample. Equations were used to predict TDN and undegradable intake protein (UIP). These feeds differ substantially from historical dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS). Feeding experiments will be necessary to confirm the results of the predicted feed values.
