Cattle Feed Byproducts: Dry Milling Byproducts – Basics
cattlenetwork.com
Dry milling is the process by which starch is hydrolyzed (broken down) to produce long-chain sugars. These sugars are further processed to produce a simple sugar called dextrose. A yeast species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is added to convert dextrose into ethanol. Throughout this process, corn kernels have been immersed in liquid, which together form a mash called “beer”.
