• Fuel ethanol industry is the fastest growing sector of American agriculture• Minnesota has 17 ethanol plants • Produces 1 billion gallons of ethanol with total value of $5 billion• DDGS represents about 20% of revenue • Increased market penetration in animal feeds will lead to increased revenue.
Corn Dry Distiller Grains with Solubles (DDGS) represent a large protein source
¨
Feedinfo News Service - 10/06/2011: ETHANOL NEAR 3-YEAR PEAK Ethanol futures traded near 3-year highs, lifted by the strong rally in corn and oil prices. Roughly 40% of the
U.S. corn crop distilled into the biofuel.
Guest Scientist from University of Minnesota
APC hosted Professor Jerry Shurson, a visiting professor from UMN, St Paul, USA in May 2010.
Jerry is engaged in research with bio-fuel co-products, such as distiller’s dried grains with soluble (DDGS), in diets for pigs, poultry, and now for fish.
He works very closely with the U.S. Grains Council to assess opportunities for DDGS.

Standard and processedDDGS in diets for Rainbow trout
• Diets (6)Control: Typical plant ingredients + FM HP-DDG, 50%: 50% of plant ingredients replaced by HP-DDGHP-DDG, 100%: 100% of plant ingredients replaced by HP-DDGControl: Typical plant ingredients + FM HP-DDG, 50%: 50% of plant ingredients replaced by DDGSHP-DDG, 100%: 100% of plant ingredients replaced by DDGS
High protein
Low protein
• Fish– Rainbow trout, 140 g – 76 days, 200% weight gain
Preliminary results
• DDGS gave similar feed intake and weight gains compared to the control • Feed efficiency appeard to be improved with the addition of DDGS to diets
• Processed DDGS gave similar feed intake, weight gain and feed efficiency compared to the control
• DGGS looks promising in diets for rainbow trout
