Weanling pigs fed diets containing high-protein corn co-products

This project will test the hypothesis that corn protein may be used as the primary source of amino acids in diets for weanling pigs if diets are fortified with crystalline amino acids.

Nutritional Improvement of Corn Ethanol Co-products via Yeast Engineering

Co-products generated from corn ethanol biorefining, for instance, Distiller’s Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS), are very attractive in animal feeds as partial replacement of some more expensive and traditional feeding materials for energy (corn), protein (soybean meal), and phosphorus (monoor di-calcium phosphate).

Whole Corn Grain Meal Inclusion in Commercial Shrimp Feeds

The world farm production of shrimp in 2014 was 9.02 billion lbs. The estimated world consumption of feed consumed by shrimp farms was 16 – 20 billion lbs. in 2014. Wheat grain and/or by-products (e.g. wheat middlings) levels typically average around 30% of shrimp feeds.
