Milk composition and cheese quality: Investigating the impact of distillers...
Late-blowing yields swiss cheese that has abnormal eyes and aroma; it is unacceptable to consumers and cannot be sold at full value. Some farmers have stopped feeding distiller's dried grains with...
View ArticleProduction of low-oil/fat distillers' dried grain with solubles (DDGS) to...
We propose to develop an innovative, microbial-based process to economically produce high protein distillers' dried grain with solubles (HP-DDGS) by converting DDGS carbohydrates into metabolizable...
View ArticleImpact of feeding diets containing reduced-oil distillers dried grains with...
Energy is the most expensive nutritional component in swine diets. Widespread adoption of oil extraction technologies by ethanol plants has led to increased variation in metabolizable (ME) and net...
View ArticleEvaluation of the potential connection between distillers dried grains with...
Manure pit foaming in commercial swine facilities has increased dramatically during the past three years and has significant consequences to human and pig health and safety. Many people have speculated...
View ArticleEvaluation of growth performance, nutrient utilization, metabolic profile,...
Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) are a good source of energy and protein for mature dairy cattle and beef cattle, but there is limited research on feeding it to growing dairy heifers. Once...
View ArticleIncreasing the usage level of corn and distillers grains in market turkey...
The overall objective is to determine if supplemental tryptophan and valine can be utilized in market turkey diets with a significant amount of corn protein present without causing a decline in...
View ArticleReduced-fat distillers grains in finishing dairy steer diets
The U.S. beef cow herd declined 5 million cows since 2003, reducing the supply of feeder calves to provide the approximate 25 million pounds of beef produced domestically. Throughout the years, U.S....
View ArticleFinal validation of reduced-oil DDGS energy prediction equations for swine...
The overall objective of this research project is to validate equations for prediction of the concentration of metabolizable energy among sources of reduced oil distillers dried grains with solubles....
View ArticleFood Grade DDG for Human Consumption - Value Enhancement of a Corn Co-Product
The purpose of the proposed study is the commercial development of Food Grade Distillers Grains. The project will develop a set of specifications to serve as a standard for Food Grade Plants. Efforts...

This project will help determine if supplemental tryptophan and valine can be utilized in market turkey diets with a significant amount of corn protein present without causing a decline in performance....
View ArticleUpdating the National Research Council’s Nutrient Requirements for Beef (2012)
The NRC has published reports on the nutrient requirements of beef cattle for 65 years. Since the first report in 1945, there have been revisions approximately every decade with the most recent (7th...

This project is an assessment of corn- and soy co-products in feedlot diets, and evaluation of environmental factors contributing to the prevalence of E.coli O157:H7 shedding on finishing...
View ArticleUtilization of Increased Dietary Concentrations of Distillers Grains with...
This project will examine the ideal timing of DGS inclusion within the beef finishing period. Due to changes in microbial populations in the rumen that occur with the substitution of starch for fiber...
View ArticleEnergy Utilization of Oil Extracted-Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles...
This project quantified the impact of reducing oil in Dry Distillers Grains (DDGS) on the Metabolizable Energy (ME) content for broilers and that correlation between swine and poultry ME estimates....
View ArticleEvaluation of Strategies for Minimizing Metabolic Oxidative Stress in Nursery...
Some sources of corn DDGS contain a significant amount of peroxidized corn oil and sulfur which may increase metabolic oxidative stress in young growing pigs. If there is a connection between feeding...
