UNL Extension Presentation

Ethanol By-Product Use Meeting for Cow/calf Producers

Event Detail
Date: Wednesday, December 5th
Time: 7:00 pm-9:00 pm
Description:

The expansion of the ethanol production industry in Nebraska has created opportunities for cattle producers to utilize the byproducts as a feed source in their operations. UNL researchers have conducted research for many years on utilizing ethanol byproducts – from feed rations to storage and it is ongoing. Is byproduct feeding a viable option for producers? Come and learn more about how byproducts could become an economical feed staple for producers.
