Abstract: Excerpt from the Report: In the production process of converting corn to ethanol, important co-products are produced as well. These co-products, also called distillers grains or corn gluten feed, are created within the dry or wet mill process and can be fed to livestock. With the expansion of the ethanol industry, there is a greater supply of co-products. The goals of this study were to identify how many livestock operations were feeding co-products, which co-products were being fed, and the characteristics of those co-products. Information was also collected about how the operations have used and would like to use co-products and related services. In addition the study identified concerns and barriers which prevented operations from feeding co-products.
