Research is taking place throughout multiple departments within the College of Agriculture at Purdue University to evaluate the integration of co-products from corn ethanol production into livestock feeding. The stages within the full cycle of utilizing these co-products includes:
- Processing, Storage, and Handling;
- Nutrient Digestibility;
- Animal Performance;
- Carcass Quality;
- Economic Value as a Feed Ingredient;
- Impacts of Ethanol Co-products on Manure Composition and Nutrient Management;
- Economic Assessment of Diets using Co-products; and
- Ethanol Plant Proximity near Livestock Production affects on Supply and Demand.
