Vitamin Composition of New-generation Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles
Researchers in the US have analysed six samples of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from maize for eight different vitamins - one of the first studies of this aspect of the nutritional value of this feed ingredient. ...
Control of Salmonella Contamination of Shell Eggs - Pre-harvest and Post-harvest Methods: a Review
A new and thorough review from researchers based in Romania and Belgium examines how Salmonella contamination of shell eggs can be minimised by preventative methods on the farm and further along the food chain....
Saving Energy Using 'Green' Renewable Resources
In the Spring 2008 issue of PoultryTech, an article on heat recovery was written to provide information on the potential savings from taking waste heat from refrigeration systems, writes Gary Floyd. ...
Impact of Canadian Ethanol Policy on Canada’s Livestock and Meat Industry 2012
Ethanol has already contributed to the downsizing of the Canadian livestock industry through its impact on margins and livestock prices, and expansion of the ethanol industry will amplify the negative consequences, according to Kevin Grier (Senior Market...
Effects of Glycerol on Performance, Egg Traits, Some Blood Parameters and Antibody Production to SRBC of Laying Hens
Glycerol can be used at 2.5 per cent in the diets of laying hens, without adverse effects, according to researchers based in Turkey, but higher levels of inclusion increased egg yolk cholesterol and altered the fatty acid composition of the eggs....
Glycerin – a New Energy Source for Poultry
Positive responses are obtained with glycerol content up to 10 per cent in poultry diets, according to a review of the literature by researchers from Arkansas and Yangling. ...
Energy Determination of Maize By-Products Using Composition Analysis
Chemical analysis has helped researchers to develop a better prediction of the energy value of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and other ethanol by-products. ...
Biofuel By-Products Find New Life in Feed
Chicken nutritionists at the University of Georgia are studying algal meal, distillers grains and glycerin as ingredients for poultry feed, writes Stephanie Schupska for Georgia FACES....
Fuel for Cars and Leftovers for Livestock
Biofuel research is not just a matter of finding the right type of biomass — maize soybean oil or other material — and converting it into fuel. Scientists must also find environmentally and economically sound uses for the co-products from biofuel...
Energy Value of Glycerin for Broilers
Dozier and colleagues in Mississippi conducted three experiments with broiler chicks and found the average apparent metabolisable energy content (AMEn) of glycerin was found to be 3,434 kcal per kg....
Can Ethanol End Our Oil Addiction?
Roger H. von Haefen, Assistant Professor at the Department of Agricultural Resource Economics at North Carolina State University, explains why ethanol production in the US will not solve the country's oil problems. He presented this paper at the 2008...
DDGS in Feed Could Affect Meat Fatty Acid Content
The production of Dried Distillers' Grains with Solubles (DDGS) has increased dramatically in the US recently because of the focus of the country on the production of ethanol, writes ThePoultrySite senior editor, Chris Harris....
The Impact of the Biofuels Industry on the Poultry Industry
Jerry C. Weigel of BASF Plant Science offered his predictions on this topic at the 2007 Carolina Poultry Nutrition Conference. ...
Containing Feed Cost Using Biofuel Coproducts
After a year of high grain and feed costs and rising production costs, feeding co-products of biofuel production could help to ease the situation and could be a way forward, Eduardo Beltranena from Alberta Agriculture and Food and Alberta University and...
