With additional ethanol plants being built throughout the Midwest, the availability of distillers dried grains (with or without solubles) is increasing -- with the expected quantity available in the Minnesota-South [...]

RESEARCHERS at Purdue University have determined the amount of metabolizable energy (ME) available to young broiler chickens from corn-sourced dried distillers grains (DDGs) and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). [...]

RESEARCHERS possibly have found an unusual feed source: The discovery of a fungus grown in the leftovers of ethanol production may provide future energy feed for pigs and chickens. In [...]

DRIED distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) have grown beyond the classification of 'alternative' feed ingredient to become a 'major' feed ingredient. The data in Table 1 help put it in [...]

FOR decades, agricultural economists have constructed--and sometimes hotly debated--tables of numbers that track feed commodity inventories, production, use and prices. Recent changes in the structure of corn use resulting from [...]

SOUTH Dakota State University (SDSU) research suggests that there's an economic opportunity for corn producers who are willing to explore integrated production systems that background beef calves while producing corn [...]

A CONCERN with feeding certain ethanol byproducts in feedlot rations has been the potential for a high sulfur content in the byproducts that, at its extreme, can lead to polioencephalomalacia [...]

A University of Illinois study found that Miscanthus x giganteus, a bioenergy crop, is a strong contender in the race to find the next source of ethanol if appropriate growing [...]

A COMMERCIAL enzyme could reduce overall costs linked with producing grain-based ethanol and associated emissions of greenhouse gases, according to a study by U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists and collaborators. [...]

Consumption of sugarcane-based ethanol in Brazil is expected to dip in the 2011-12 season as high sugar prices are likely to make the biofuel more costly than conventional gasoline, according [...]

Researchers at Tohoku University and Tohoku Electric Power in Japan have reportedly successfully converted 2.2 lb. of seaweed into about 6.76 oz. of ethanol. The technology is reported to use [...]

THE amount of energy needed to produce a gallon of ethanol has decreased by an average of 30% within the past decade, according to a new study by researchers at [...]

Agricultural Research Service (ARS) chemist Badal Saha conducted a five-year study to examine whether wheat straw, a crop residue left over after harvest, could have commercial potential for cellulosic ethanol [...]

Commodity Research Bureau, a division of Barchart.com Inc., announced the launch of a new research report focused on the ethanol market on behalf of CME Group, the world's largest derivatives [...]

New varieties of sugarcane and other crops adapted to the U.S. Gulf Coast region are being developed for use in making ethanol. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists, in cooperation with [...]

The University of Florida selected Florida Crystals Corp.'s Okeelanta facility as the site to build a cellulosic ethanol research and demonstration plant in Palm Beach County. In a unanimous vote, [...]

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service are tapping the plant-degrading powers of Clostridium thermocellum to boost cellulosic ethanol production. This heat-loving microbe, which thrives in 145°F [...]

The North American Millers' Assn. (NAMA) has formed a Biofuels Committee that will monitor activities related to ethanol and biofuels and review a study Iowa State University is conducting on [...]

An Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist has shown that the byproduct of ethanol fermentation from corn stover can increase the structural stability and organic matter content of soil, particularly of [...]

Byproducts of ethanol plants such as distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) can be used in a variety of swine rations, according to a South Dakota State University extension swine [...]
