Ethanol Co-Product Information
Checkoff-Funded Ethanol Co-Product Research
The Beef Checkoff has funded a body of research related to the beef quality and safety implications of feeding ethanol co-products to beef cattle. Find highlights from six individual projects by clicking on the executive summary or research presentations below.

Ethanol Co-Products – Beef Implications Summit
The goal of the Center for Research & Knowledge Management at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) is to serve as the catalyst for positive change for the beef industry using science-based information and programs. Given the steady increase in the use of ethanol co-products in cattle diets, the Center recognized the need to investigate the current status of research and to establish a list of research questions that still need to be answered about the impact of co-products on the industry, specifically beef safety and quality. As such, the first “Ethanol Co-Products – Beef Product Implications” meeting was held in Kansas City, MO November 7-9, 2006 with researchers from around the country to develop a summary of research and to establish research priorities.
