摘要:
A method for the production of ethanol and a modified animal feed is provided.The method replaces the starch in known corn-based animal feed with biomassfiber treated to make it more digestible by animals. The process includeswherein the pericarp and germ are removed from the corn kernel and processedfor by-products. The starch and protein are also removed and separated. Thestarch is then fermented and distilled to ethanol and stillage. Thebioavailable modified animal feed comprises the pericarp and germ removed fromcorn kernels and optionally by-products of the pericarp and germ processing,and lignocellulosic materials. The modified animal feed may optionally includeenergy materials such as animal and vegetable fats, vegetable soapstocks, orglycerin, and combinations thereof.
