• The Nutritive Value of Thin Stillage and Wet Distillers’ Grains for Ruminants: A Review
  A. F. Mustafa, J. J. McKinnon and D. A. Christensen
  Alcohol production from cereal grains involves the conversion of starch to alcohol through enzymatic hydrolysis and yeast fermentation. The fermentation of cereal grains for alcohol production has been detailed by Ingledew (1993). At the end of the fermentation process, alcohol is distilled by steam and the residues (whole stillage) are usually pressed to separate thin stillage from distillers’ grains.
  

• Evaluation of a Pelleted Barley Product for Growing and Finishing Cattle
  J. McKinnon, L. Williams, V. Racz, D. Christensen and Brad Wildeman
  Barley grain is favored in Canada as a cereal grain for several reasons. Most importantly it provides cattle with a relatively inexpensive source of energy and protein. Cattle fed barley are widely known to produce a carcass that has excellent eating quality, including a hard, white fat content. Canadian and international consumers find the meat to be very tender and appealing. The fact that barley is a non-GMO grain is also very important to consumers around the world.
