Investigation of relationship of chemical composition, viscosity, and metabolizable energy of distillers grains for poultry

    Read the complete report: Investigation of relationship of chemical composition, viscosity, and metabolizable energy of distillers grains for poultry About this report: The overall goal of this project was to determine measurable characteristics of DDGS for use in prediction of energy values in poultry diets. Protein and energy remain the most expensive components of poultry feed. Poultry in contrast to ruminant animals will extract less energy and protein from feed… Continue Reading Investigation of relationship of chemical composition, viscosity, and metabolizable energy of distillers grains for poultry

    Effects of DDGS nutrient composition (reduced‐oil) on digestible and metabolizable energy value and prediction in growing pigs

      Read the complete report: Effects of DDGS nutrient composition (reduced‐oil) on digestible and metabolizable energy value and prediction in growing pigs About this report: Few studies have been done to determine the Digestible Energy (DE) and Metabolizable Energy (ME) content of corn distillers dried grains with soluble (DDGS) in growing pig diets. This research will help develop better prediction equations and provide nutritionists more reliable tools to determine the energy… Continue Reading Effects of DDGS nutrient composition (reduced‐oil) on digestible and metabolizable energy value and prediction in growing pigs

      Vitamin E and selenium status of pigs fed DDGS diets and relationship to Mulberry Heart Disease

        Read the complete report:  Vitamin E and selenium status of pigs fed DDGS diets and relationship to Mulberry Heart Disease About this report: In recent years, the use of DDGS has increased. Along with this increase, so have the cases of MHD in nursery pigs. Some theories state that including DDGS may be a contributing factor to MHD. This study was done to determine if including DDGS in sow and… Continue Reading Vitamin E and selenium status of pigs fed DDGS diets and relationship to Mulberry Heart Disease

        DDGS and E.Coli in Cattle Diets: A Two-Part Study

          Read the complete report: DDGS and E.Coli in Cattle Diets: A Two-Part Study About This Report Ethanol plants and cattle producers create a symbiotic relationship:  The use of wet and dry distillers grains from ethanol processing in beef cattle rations is a widely accepted practice in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. This market provides a significant source of income for ethanol producers and an excellent source of nutrition for beef cattle due… Continue Reading DDGS and E.Coli in Cattle Diets: A Two-Part Study

          Mid-Project Preliminary Research Report: Optimization of denitrifying bioreactor performance with agricultural residue-based filter media

            Read the Mid-Project Preliminary Research Report: Optimization of denitrifying bioreactor performance with agricultural residue-based filter media About This Report Wood-chip denitrifying bioreactors are one promising technology to mitigate subsurface drainage nitrate-N losses. Drainage water is routed through these denitrifying bioreactors, where anaerobic microbes reduce nitrate-N to nitrogen gas that ultimately escapes to the atmosphere. We seek to demonstrate that agricultural residue-based materials (e.g., stover, straw, cobs) used as filter media… Continue Reading Mid-Project Preliminary Research Report: Optimization of denitrifying bioreactor performance with agricultural residue-based filter media
