- Effect on feed prices
21 feb 2007
Although the price of maize will certainly increase as more is used to make
ethanol, huge amounts of distillers grain, a by-product of ethanol production,
will become available.
This, as well as soymeal, can be used to feed
cattle and pigs and is likely to fall in price.
However, finding alternatives for the maize used by the
poultry meat industry will be more difficult and the poultry industry will have
to be more inventive in future.
