How Alternative Feed Ingredients Affect Poultry Dietary Electrolyte Balance

Read the complete report: How Alternative Feed Ingredients Affect Poultry Dietary Electrolyte Balance About This Report Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), derived primarily from corn in the Midwest, are a byproduct of the ethanol industry that can be used as a source of protein in poultry diets. Turkey producers are concerned that the use of DDGS will result in wet litter (bedding) conditions in the barn and/or change bird… Continue Reading How Alternative Feed Ingredients Affect Poultry Dietary Electrolyte Balance

Water Reuse for Agricultural Processing: A Community Case Study

Read the complete report: Water Reuse for Agricultural Processing (A Community Case Study) About This Report The Agricultural Utilization Research Institute (AURI) recognizes the value of reclaimed water for the agricultural processing industry. AURI initiated and provided financial support to study reclaimed water use for industry, and this case study is a continuation of the efforts to understand and explore the possibilities and potential benefits of water reuse and sustainability… Continue Reading Water Reuse for Agricultural Processing: A Community Case Study

Mechanical Dewatering Technologies for Wet Biomass Feedstocks

Read the complete report: Mechanical Dewatering Technolgies for Wet Biomass View the presentation: Dewatering Technologies for Wet Biomass About This Report Many wet biomass feedstocks generally have low value due to the high cost of thermally removing water to make use of the lignocellulosic material contained therein. There are mechanical technologies that can potentially remove water in a cost effective manner, which would help raise the value of these materials… Continue Reading Mechanical Dewatering Technologies for Wet Biomass Feedstocks

Midwest Biomass Inventory Assessment

The objective of this study was to determine potential biomass resources within the Midwest for thermal heating applications in order to provide a “snapshot” of the Midwest Biomass Inventory Assessment for presentation at the 2012 Heating the Midwest Conference & Expo and for furthering the vision of the Heating the Midwest Initiative. This was done, in part, by developing a regional biomass inventory database of previously completed state-level assessments and… Continue Reading Midwest Biomass Inventory Assessment

Minnesota Biomass Heating Feasibility Guide

In 2011, the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute (AURI) solicited proposals to develop a Biomass Heating Feasibility Guide “for the replacement of high-cost heating fuels, such as propane and fuel oil, with biomass combustion heating systems.” The contract, awarded to DLF Consulting, resulted in this report, which will assist turkey producers and greenhouse operators in rural areas to understand the feasibility of using biomass for heating. The report provides an overview of the elements involved in a biomass heating system – fuels and technologies – and provides information regarding what is required to set up and operate such a system.
