For decades, ethanol production has generated affordable biproducts to feed. A new distilling method has generated a product with ~50% protein. Dr. Billy Brown, assistant professor of dairy science at Kansas State, wanted to understand how this feed would compare to soybean meal in a starter grain.

To test this he developed rations substituting soybean meal

Topics of discussion

Effects of a high-protein corn coproduct as a replacement for soybean meal in calf starter feed in the postweaning period
