A new report out shows that Minnesota’s economic future may well be rooted in its historic leadership in agricultural production. Continue Reading New report projects Minnesota could be global leader in agbioscience
Heat stress reduces livestock productivity and this may in part be by reduced intestinal integrity or “leaky gut”. Dairy products improve intestinal integrity in a variety of human and small animal models. Consequently, we hypothesized that dietary bovine colostrum and whey protein would mitigate HS‐induced leaky gut in pigs. Continue Reading Effects of whey protein on intestinal integrity in heat-stressed growing pigs
The use of twin-screw extrusion to produce puffs and crisps for cereals and snacks is widely utilized in the food industry. Soy protein is the leading protein used in this category. Extrusion puffing of caseinates and whey protein concentrates has been researched extensively, but much less has been published using non-fat dry milk (NDM). This study evaluated formula and processing conditions for creating expanded puffs with significant amounts of NDM. Continue Reading Creating food crisps and puffs using non-fat dry milk
Results from this study suggest that the inclusion of modified distillers grains plus solubles and crude glycerin in beef cattle finishing diets did not negatively impact carcass and meat quality characteristics. Continue Reading Do distillers grains with solubles and crude glycerin affect beef quality?
During this research, selective extraction of Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS) produced several valuable materials. Using a process developed at the Natural Resources Research Institute and patented by the University of Minnesota, the following materials were produced from DDGS: Continue Reading Producing materials from DDGS
