Where to put the corn . . . . ?
![Page 3: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
User Definitions: Based on consistency of product
• Coproduct• the output of a consistent process
– materials from a “consistent,” quality conscious manufacturing process which has “predictable” food value
– (distillers grains, corn gluten, soy hulls, etc.)
• Byproduct• material with inconsistent ingredients or quality that
can not be used for original intended purpose– inconsistent materials; may be unknown constituents– (corn screenings, gin trash, rejected grains, off-spec food
ingredients, litter, rinse water, etc.)

ETHANOL

Confusion
• DG distiller’s grains
• DGSdistiller’s grains with solubles
• DDGS distiller’s dried grains with solubles
• Corn gluten feed--wet
• Corn gluten feed
• Corn gluten meal
• Brewers dried grains
• Malt sprouts
• Distillers dried grains

2 Ethanol plant process types
• Wet Milling
• Dry Grind
![Page 7: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ethanol plant process types
• Wet Milling – 1st: fractionation
» steep in weak sulfurous acid solution
– starch, germ, fiber, protein
• Starch: hi fructose corn syrup
ethanol → DDGS (minor source)
• Fiber: corn gluten feed (wet or dry)
• Protein: corn gluten meal
![Page 8: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ethanol plant process types
• Wet Milling
• Dry Grind• Entire corn kernel ground, initial process• Fermentation → ethanol
→ DDGS
• Most of the ethanol from dry grind process plants

Issues for Health, corn coproducts
• Variability (plant to plant; load to load)» Routine analyses ‘may be’ warranted
• wet wt. v. dry wt.
![Page 10: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Issues for Health, corn coproducts
• Variability (plant to plant; load to load)
• Phosphorus– Ca:P ratios in cattle diets can vary 1:1 to 7:1– If < 1:1 problem

Issues for Health, corn coproducts
• Variability (plant to plant; load to load)
• Phosphorus → urolithiasis• urinary calculi, calculosis, “water belly”, kidney
stones• Inversion of Ca:P ratio• Mg also a factor
– Also “high” in DDGS and CGF– Max tolerated, ruminant diets ~ 0.4%
![Page 14: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Issues for Health, corn coproducts
• Variability (plant to plant; load to load)
• Phosphorus → urolithiasis
• Sulphur → Polioencephalomalacia
– S concentrations > ~0.25 % hazard– (difficult interpretation: multiple S compounds besides
sulfates and sulfides . . . AA, organic S’s, 5 oxidation states)
– Copper (low diet—relation)– Gradual diet incorporation: especially naïve animals

Issues for Health, corn coproducts
• Variability (plant to plant; load to load)
• Phosphorus → urolithiasis
• Sulphur → sulfates
• Copper deficiency– Given affinity of Cu and SO4’s, DDGS & CGF have
been implicated in decreased Cu absorption

Issues for Health, corn coproducts: Other
• Whatever else came with Corn + plant additions during processing
– Mycotoxins (do survive processing)
• Aflatoxins: year/region; milk residues
• Ochratoxin: potential, regional
• Fumonisins: hazard in equine diets
– Antimicrobial agents (processing aids)
• Virginiamycin, others (?)– Residues (animal products, environment)
![Page 20: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Future? ( . . for example)
• US Dept of Energy investment $385 mil in six plants throughout US: – “Cellulosic ethanol conversion technologies &
commercialization”– Research on novel source materials:
• plant cellulose materials, e.g., stovers, straws, grasses, cobs, etc.
• Vegetable wastes• Wood chips• Landfill green & wood waste
![Page 21: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BIODIESEL
• Sources: What are they?– Soybeans– other oil seed sources– Lipids . . other sources
• What are the coproducts??
![Page 22: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Biodiesel CoProducts issues:
• Glycerin (glycerol)– Energy source– Nutritional research needed
• Methanol . . • Animals, particularly ruminants, less sensitive to
methanol than humans
• CO2 + H2O –> O=CH–OH (formate) –> O=CH2 (formaldehyde) –> CH3–OH (methanol) –> CH4 (methane)
![Page 23: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Biodiesel CoProducts issues:
• Source dependent• e.g., raw soybeans do contain antimetabolite
compounds
• Residues– Particularly from non-ag crop residues??
![Page 24: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Contamination: e.g., Dioxins
• Twenty dioxin (D)/furan (F)/polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were measured in yellow grease (waste fats and oils from restaurants) and in rendered fat from cattle, poultry, swine and mixed animal species (8 -18 samples per commodity). The total D/F/PCB levels found ranged from 0 to 1.6 parts per trillion (ppt) toxic equivalents (TEQ). These levels were below the 3.0 ppt TEQ maximum residue limit (MRL) recently proposed by the European Communities (EC) for D/F/PCB in animal fat. (Dr. Lovell, FDA, 2005)

Grain CoProducts use future:– CoProducts will change as processes change
for extraction of new product• New product extraction techniques
– Economics• Tax abatements• Source commodities prices• Processing costs/efficiencies
• More attention will be focused toward coproducts when profit from them is needed.
![Page 26: Feeding BioFuels Co-products to Livestock: Challenges to Animal Health NIAA, Sacramento, 4/2/07 Gavin L Meerdink, DVM, D.ABVT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55150d32550346c77d8b490d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Presently:
“The SAFETY of grains coproducts at this time ultimately rests upon the user.”
* * * *
Eventually:Plants should become more involved with
product safety and problem investigation. (for their own protection)
