Nebraska Company Turns Ethanol By-Products into Dry Cattle Feed

A  US based company, Nebraska have come up with an interesting modification for the use of by-products of ethanol production. With emphasis on the fact that no binding ingredient was used, ethanol by-products are used to produce dry cattle feed pellets.

One of the co-owners of Platte Valley Distillers, Tom Kruml, said the company could pellets or cube from distiller’s grains in a way to make the grains denser. Specialized equipment are used to press the distillers grain into a cube and heat is applied to form a protective outer layer, with corn oil in the feed helping to seal the cube.
