Abstract
The invention provides a highly nutritional unfermented medium protein animal feed supplement by admixing wet corn bran having an abnormally high moisture content with concentrated corn steep to form a moist cohesive but friable mass, the process eliminating a significant proportion of the energy used in and pollution occasioned by prior art process. In a modification, the above unfermented product is subjected to a natural fermentation stage resulting in a fermented supplement which is microbiologically and gravitationally stable for an extended period of time. One further advantage of the present invention is that the corn bran and steep liquor from a corn wet milling plant can be used in the specific amounts as actually produced in the normal operation of the plant, thereby allowing plant efficiencies to be maintained.
