UNL Extension Program - Ethanol By-Product Use for Farmer Feeders

Event Detail
Date: Wednesday, December 19th
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.

Presented by: Galen Erickson, Extension Beef Feedlot Nutrition Specialist, UNL Department of Animal Science

* What are these byproducts
