Currently, distillers grains are fed to livestock as a
partial replacement for corn or other feed grains. But cattle can only eat so
much of it before growth performance and beef quality are affected.
"A secondary fermentation process adds value to the product by converting fiber into protein", Vadlani said. "Recently, we also started some research where not only are we increasing the protein, we’re trying to get some high amino acid profiles and antioxidants, too."
The added value should make distillers grains more useful to not only animal-feed manufacturers, but also a broader variety of animals will be able to consumer it, according to Vadlani. Currently, most use has been as a feed for cattle.
