The ethanol industry in the U.S. has faced many challenges in the last few years. So far in 2020, there has been a sharp drop in oil prices, forcing plants to idle, attributing to shortages of DDGS.\u00a0 This is a common feed ingredient used in the majority of farm animal diets. In response to the limited supply, DDGS prices have sharply increased, including a record high price, on average, of $193\/Ton in April (USDA Outlook Report, April 10th<\/sup>, 2020). With already tight margins on feed costs, this has many livestock producers seeking alternative, low-cost ingredients to replace ethanol by-products.<\/p>\n

The increased cost and lack of availability has impacted livestock production, including pig producers adjusting the diets to include more soymeal and corn over DDGS<\/a> to meet the animal\u2019s nutritional demands. With competitive commodity pricing for corn, one strategy is to generate value-added, high-quality extruded feed ingredients to replace DDGS, including high-shear dry extruded corn<\/a> and ExPress\u00ae soymeal<\/a>. High-shear dry extrusion has many nutritional advantages<\/a> compared to other feed ingredients, including increased amino acid and energy digestibility, which has been proven with almost 50 years of animal feeding trials.<\/p>\n

High-shear dry extruded corn has a greater than 90% starch gelatinization \u2013 compared to ground corn at only 24.6% gelatinization as shown in the figure below. The higher degree of starch gelatinization of extruded corn improves the feeding value, including energy.<\/p>\n

\"Gelatinization<\/p>\n

In another study<\/a>, the degree of gelatinization of the starch affects the digestion and metabolic response to the starch breakdown. Based on this data, the extruded corn stimulates greater microbial protein<\/a> production when compared to ground corn. In summary, extruded corn has the highest degree of gelatinization which results in improved nutrient digestibility over ground corn and DDGS.<\/p>\n

Using high-quality extruded ingredients to replace other low-quality ingredients, such as DDGS results in cost-savings<\/a>. To learn more about high-shear dry extruded corn and ExPress\u00ae soy meal, contact your Insta-Pro representative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
