Ethanol Leftovers To Be Used In Pet Food
American Chronicle:
The president of the Pet Food Industry thinks it´s time for left over ingredients from the processing of ethanol to be utilized in pet food. Being more concerned with rising costs of grain products instead of quality nutrition, Greg Aldrich, PhD feels it’s ‘time’ pet food manufacturers use spent-fermentation leftovers. He feels it will be well received if it´s pitched to pet owners as a ‘green’ ingredient. Wonder if it will make pet´s feel ‘green’?
As if the pet food industry doesn´t have enough problems, now the president of The Pet Food Industry is encouraging dog food and cat food manufacturers to consider using leftovers from ethanol processing. Geez.
In an article on the Pet Food Industry website Dr. Aldrich states: “The production of ethanol has meant many things to the petfood industry – much of which hasn’t been pleasant because of the pressure it has placed on grain supplies. But, maybe there is some redemption for ethanol production that petfood companies have overlooked these last few years. Redemption in the way of an ingredient – specifically the protein-enriched, spent-fermentation co-product known as distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS).”
Allow me to interpret…The production of ethanol has raised the cost of otherwise cheap grains commonly used as protein in pet food. Ah, but I discovered something that we might have overlooked…and it´s even cheaper! After they process grain for ethanol, the left over garbage still analyzes as protein – goodie for us! Jump on this gang, before the price goes up! Full article.
