Changing Corn Demand: Feed, Fuel, and Exports Livestock feeders largest corn users
Feed & Residual Use predicted around 55 percent of corn production in 2006/07
6 billion bushels Use per GCAU projected down in 2006/07 GCAUs are up slightly???
Drought, bird flu, strong demand… Cattle on feed inventory up 9% but placements were 5% lower
during October Beef, pork, and poultry production projected higher in 2007
Co-products make up the difference?
U.S. Ethanol Production
Renewable Fuels Association (RFA). 2006. From Niche to Nation Ethanol Industry Outlook. Washington DC, February.
105 ethanol plants = 5 BGY44 under construction= total 8.3 BGY
Trade-offs between increasing corn prices and increasing supply of distiller’s grains Availability and variety of ethanol co-products Transportation and handling costs
Additional investments Consistency Cattle Performance Environmental regs
Changing co-products/ethanol production innovations
WDGS TransportWDGS 35% Dry MatterHow far can we haul all that water? ~ 35-40% increase in feed weight
WDGS Storage Additional storage
costs Preservatives Silage bags
Use w/in 3 to 5 days Concrete Slab Front-end loaders
Quick Note on Pork & Poultry More difficult to feed distillers grains Can only feed at low inclusion rates (< 15% of the ration on dry matter basis) Generally cannot feed WDGS, only DDGS which partially replaces corn & soybean meal
Soybean meal higher quality protein source more consistent
Economic Returns from Feeding WDGS
Trucking costs: $2.50 per loaded mile
10 year average corn prices Assuming $0.05 to
$0.10/bu basis at plant WDGS 95% price of
corn on equal DM basis
Vander Pol et al. (2006)
At plant optimum WDGS inclusion rate 30 to 40% on dry matter basis
$10-$23 per head return
Changes When ethanol production arrives:
Turn off the steam chest Feed WDGS with dry rolled corn
Increase cattle performance Decrease Natural Gas costs Invest in Roto-mix® trucks If already feeding silage shouldn’t need additional equipment (front end loaders) Increase labor, fuel and maintenance
Feed lower quality forages Vegetarian diets= $$$
Distant from ethanol production 15% DDGS (dry matter basis)
Railed in similar to corn Save processing costs Positive cattle performance results
Also Corn gluten feed…
Finally… Cost effective use of WDGS
depends on inclusion rate, distance from ethanol plant, cattle performance
Even with extra costs, still affordable feed ingredient
Livestock feeders and ethanol producers can co-exist!
