Study examines energy and nutrient digestibility in wheat co-products fed to growing pigs

(University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences) With feed costs and the worldwide demand for meat growing, livestock producers are increasingly turning to co-products from the ethanol and human food industries. Research from the University of Illinois is helping to determine the feed value of wheat middlings and red dog, two co-products of the wheat milling process that can be included in diets fed to pigs and other livestock.
