Extending Knowledge on Feeding DDGS to Chickens
Several groups reported their findings on the use of the ethanol by-products, distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and glycerol, at the recent International Poultry Scientific Forum (IPSF 2010), writes Jackie Linden for TheBioEnergy Site. The...

Production Practices to Help Reduce Ear Mold Risk in Corn
There may not be much corn growers can do to prevent the spread of ear molds and mycotoxins if weather conditions are right for development, as was the case in 2009. However, there are some production practices they can follow to help reduce the risk,...

Homegrown Energy a Big Win for Jobs
Next-generation biofuels could create over 18,000 jobs, displace nearly 15 per cent of Gasoline consumed in the DC metro area, and reduce millions of pounds of nutrient runoff into the Chesapeake Bay
