Factors to Consider When Incorporating Distiller's Co-Products in Dairy and Beef Cattle Diets with Isaac Salfer

About the Webinar.

Please join us Wednesday, August 23rd at 9:00am (CDT) for our "Future of Feeding" webinar series! This webinar series focuses on using innovation in the processing of animal food, the equipment being used (existing and newly developed), as well as using grains from our region for co-products. A new speaker will be featured each month.

This month will feature Isaac Salfer, Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota. Join us as Isaac presents on Factors to Consider When Incorporating Distiller's Co-Products in Dairy and Beef Cattle Diets. A few highlights from his presentation include:

  • Distillers Co-products are a commonly fed feed ingredient for beef and dairy cattle in the upper Midwest because of their price competitiveness as a protein and energy source

  • Compared to many other feed ingredients, distiller's co-products are highly variable in nutrient composition due to differences in processing

  • Differences in nutrient composition can affect the value obtained from including these products within the diet

So, mark your calendars! You won’t want to miss this webinar!
