Distillers Grains Technology 27.6 DISTILLERS DRIED GRAINS WITH SOLUBLES is the product obtained after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture by condensing and drying at least 3/4 of the solids of the resultant whole stillage by methods employed in the grain distilling industry. The predominating grain shall be declared as the first word in the name. HOW MUCH DDGS WAS PRODUCED YEAR ETHANOL DRY MILL DDGS (GAL) (%) (TONS)

Distillers Grains Technology Industry Challenges

Impacting Distillers Grains Utilization ISSUES

• Antibotics- Why A “Hot Button” • Product Consistancy • Product Flowability • Sulfur Content • Mycotoxins • E. Coli 0157:H7 A Sight Seen To Often 2009

Distillers Grains Technology Council www.distillersgrains.org “As a licensed feed manufacturing plant of distillers grains, we routinely test for toxins, whether, don, aflatoxin, or zerelanone. Our obligation and responsibility in providing a product suitable for consumption is sampling, testing and informing our customers the quality of our product. 2009 certainly has helped redefine this responsibility from the inbound corn to the distillers grains.”

Jeff Goetz, Abengoa Bioenergy at May 12, 2010, Distillers Grains Symposium, Indianapolis, In

Distillers Grains Technology Council www.distillersgrains.org SULFUR CONTENT

• Sulfur Content Limits Cattle Ration Amount • >0.4-0.5% Causes Animal Health Problems • Dr. Zhang’s Presentation Indicates Plant Issue • Need Better pH Control And Cleaning Method • Reducing or Eliminating Sulfur Compounds • Nutritionists Can Partially Reduce Problem PRODUCT FLOWABILITY

• A Major Issue That’s Less Of A Problem Now • Most Plants Are Aware To Cool And Hold • Railcars Built To Improve Flowability • Major Customers Special Unloading Equipment • Recent Research Information Helpful PRODUCT CONSISTENCY

• Every Animal Requires Certain Feed Requirements

• Formulating Requires Education And Experience

• Distillers With Different Nutrients A Problem

• Varying Solubles And Particle Size A Problem

• Over And Under Formulating Costly For Feeder Antibiotics A Media Issue

• Antibiotics Used Over 15 Years In Fermentation • Virginiamycin FDA/CVM No Objection Letter Less then 0.5 ppm in DDGS • Current Legislative Efforts To Remove All Antibiotics From Animal Feed- WHY • FDA/CVM Presentations This Morning • Magazines And Blogs “DDGS Antibiotics Problem” DOES DDG CAUSE E. COLI 0157:H7

• MANY FEEDIN STUDIES: KSU, UN, USDA

• ALL CATTLE SOME LEVEL; MANURE & HIDE

• DDG + STEAM FLAKED CORN - INCREASED

• TESTING RESULTS VARY & INCONCLUSIVE

• RESEARCH CONTINUING; VACCINE AVAILABLE

Distillers Grains Technology Council www.distillersgrains.org NEED RENEWABE ENERGY SOURCES

• FARMERS PRODUCED EXCESS GRAIN

• ETHANOL FROM GRAIN

• CO-PRODUCT – DISTILLERS GRAINS

• USA PRODUCED (PROFITS RETAINED, SECURITY, ETC.)

• NEED ENERGY FROM NON-FOOD BIOMASS

Distillers Grains Technology Council www.distillersgrains.org DISTILLERS GRAINS – PART OF SOLUTION • 16-20MM TONS FOR ANIMAL FEED

• PROTEIN CONCENTRATE THAT REDUCES RATION COSTS

• GROWING DEMAND FROM FARMERS

• DISTILLERY INCOME REDUCES COSTS

• FARMER - DISTILLERY- FARMER

Distillers Grains Technology Council www.distillersgrains.org DISTILLERS GRAINS – UNTOLD STORY • ETHANOL CO-PRODUCT THAT REPLACES GRAIN • CO-PRODUCT THAT REDUCES FEED COSTS • THEREFORE – MAINTAINS LOWER FOOD COSTS • CO-PRODUCT – THAT COULD BECOME FOOD INGREDIENT

Distillers Grains Technology Council www.distillersgrains.org DISTILLERS GRAINS INDUSTRY Growing Despite Adversity

• Global Economic Recession And Depressed Oil Prices

• Ethanol Industry At or Below Profit Margins

• Some Ethanol Plants Slowed, Delayed Start-Up or Bankrupt

• Causing Distillers Grains Availability Disruptions

• Disgruntled And Unfair Media And Economic Reports
