Protein. We've been removing oil from peanuts, soy and from corn from long time. We also drink beer and whiskey and the by products were always used as animal feed. The by products are feedstocks. Protein for animal feed. The by product of ethanol is also protein.

Increased egg production in ethanol producting states. More recently, a renewed interest in the use of corn distillers dried grains has been taken by the poultry industry here in the Midwest due to the sharp increase in corn ethanol producing plants. Interest in using DDGS and DDG in poultry rations, particularly laying hen rations has escalated and usage levels have increased exponentially during the past 5 years. In coincidence with the explosion of ethanol producing plants in the Midwest, (particularly Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota), Iowa has become the number one egg producing state in the nation with over 20 million layers. Nebraska ranks 8th in the nation with 12 million layers. Poultry feeds have become a target industry for the co-products of the ethanol industry, particularly dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). As the interest and use of DDGS has increased, the number of research publications on the "new" feeding value of corn DDGS has also risen. While we have good background information from the feeding of barley DDGS, more current research with corn DDGS has been needed by the poultry industry. DDGS IN POULTRY DIETS Dr. Sheila E.
