26 Concerns with Co-Products Alternative feedstuffs. EtOH co-product variation Left with corn fiber and protein Energy removed for ethanol AND? Fat fraction remains for now! Removal of oil for biodiesel production is currently underway! Carcass quality concerns. Fat quality / Lipid composition. Pork nutritional value? Carcass yield. Oil content may soon be going down due to removal of oil for biodiesel! Positive impacts on whole animal and/or intestinal health? Inflammation. Ileitis severity. Mycotoxin concentration? Handling characteristics. Control DGGS
