The present invention is directed to a process for the removal of mycotoxins from insoluble plant-derived protein using density-based particle separators. The end product contains a substantial portion of the proteins, including insoluble proteins, and a low concentration of mycotoxin. The process is particularly useful for removing aflatoxins from corn meal protein.

Process for removal of mycotoxins from insoluble plant-derived protein

Processes for increasing rumen undegraded protein in protein containing compositions, fermentation by-products or combinations thereof are disclosed. Uses of alkaline crystalline solids to increase rumen undegraded protein in protein containing compositions, fermentation by-products or combinations thereof are further disclosed. Products produced from such processes are also disclosed.

Process for modifying protein digestion of ruminant feeds and products produced therefrom

Animal feed compositions having utility in reducing the incidence of and treating the symptoms of fescue toxicosis in mammals that consume endophyte-infected fescue are disclosed. Methods of reducing the incidence of fescue toxicosis and making animal feed compositions are further disclosed.

Animal feed compositions which include a polyol are described. Processes for producing an animal feed composition with a polyol are disclosed. Methods of feeding an animal the polyol are also disclosed.

Animal feeds containing polyols

Methods are provided for the efficient fractionation of lignocellulosic biomasses into cellulosic, hemicellulosic and lignin fractions, wherein concentrated organic acid vapors are applied to the biomass at elevated temperatures at the location(s) or near the location(s) where the biomass has been harvested and gathered, to at least partly depolymerize or substantially solubilize the hemicelluloses and lignins in the biomass. The organic acid-treated biomass is in either case then dried and pelletized for extended bulk storage and/or for shipment to a second facility some distance away. The organic acid-treated biomass may be processed into desired chemicals, fuels and/or fuel additives at the local processing site or at a second facility away from the local processing site, or the pelletized material may be used as a ruminant feed locally or at a feedlot some distance removed from the local processing site.

Process for fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass

The invention concerns a composition based on a mixture of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, as food additive for feeding ruminants. The composition may be incorporated in a food additive, or a salt block. The eugenol and the cinnamaldehyde may be natural or identical natural constituents. Administering the composition or the food additive increases meat production and milk production.

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 biomass fiber treated to make it more digestible by animals. The process includes wherein the pericarp and germ are removed from the corn kernel and processed for by-products. The starch and protein are also removed and separated. The starch is then fermented and distilled to ethanol and stillage. The bioavailable modified animal feed comprises the pericarp and germ removed from corn kernels and optionally by-products of the pericarp and germ processing, and lignocellulosic materials. The modified animal feed may optionally include energy materials such as animal and vegetable fats, vegetable soapstocks, or glycerin, and combinations thereof.

Process for the production of animal feed and ethanol and novel animal feed

Methods and compositions for improved ruminant diets are disclosed. The invention relates to the use of metal ion/metal ion salts in ruminant feed, at levels from about 0.25 to about 1 g/kg dry matter, in any ruminant diet, for improvement of bypass protein content, as well as to influence the rate of rumen starch digestion and the flow of starch to the duodenum.

Methods of feeding animals

The present invention provides a novel animal feed or food additive that may be made from thermochemically hydrolyzed, solvent-extracted corn fiber hulls. The animal feed or food additive may be made, for instance, by thermochemically treating corn fiber hulls to hydrolyze and solubilize the hemicellulose and starch present in the corn fiber hulls to oligosaccharides. The residue may be extracted with a solvent to separate the oil from the corn fiber, leaving a solid residue that may be prepared, for instance by aggolmerating, and sold as a food additive or an animal feed.
