Adding value to corn and agricultural byproducts through production of biochar and bio-oil: Step Two
Read the full report: Adding value to corn and agricultural byproducts through production of biochar and bio-oil: Step Two About: Build upon previous research to continue to increase the value of agricultural by-products by demonstrating how biomass feedstocks can be used to produce renewable energy and recycled through land application as biochar. Specifically, this reseach […]
Utilization of corn- and soy coproducts in feedlot diets, and evaluation of environmental factors contributing to the prevalence of E.coli 0157:H7 shedding
Read the full report: Utilization of corn- and soy coproducts in feedlot diets, and evaluation of environmental factors contributing to the prevalence of E.coli 0157:H7 shedding About: Utilization of nutrient dense agricultural coproducts/by-products in beef rations have been implemented by producers for years. This study focused on the effect feeding two different coproducts has on beef growth […]
Energy utilization of oil extracted-dried distillers grains with solubles (OE-DDGS) in turkeys
Read the full report: Energy utilization of oil extracted-dried distillers grains with solubles (OE-DDGS) in turkeys About this report: Much interest exists by poultry nutritionists regarding the amount of energy present in corn-derived dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) that can be utilized by meat-type poultry such as turkeys and chicken broilers. A recent change […]

Higher value product from corn ethanol
Read the report: Higher Value Product from Corn Ethanol About this report: This project researched the chemical conversion of bioethanol to produce a more valuable commodity chemical, ethylene carbonate, and determine if this conversion is viable on an industrial scale. Ethylene carbonate is used as a solvent, as an electrolyte in advanced batteries, and the […]
Still in our sights
— by Liz Morrison A little more than three years ago, AURI teamed up with the Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council and the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council to vet some 200 emerging technologies and identify those with the greatest potential to add value to corn and soybeans. The goal was to give […]
Fighting Fires With Corn
–By Liz Morrison The fire starts as a small yellow flame licking up from a pile of debris in an old wooden garage. Soon, orange flames are leaping high as black smoke fills the structure. A few seconds later, a bank of flames rolls along the ceiling and boils out the open door. The entire […]
Opportunities Highlighted at Ag Expo
Minnesota corn and soybean farmers were given a glimpse of future value-added opportunities at the Minnesota Ag Expo this week. AURI and the Minnesota Corn and Soybean Associations sought to identify products and technologies associated with the bio-based economy that are likely to boost economic opportunities for corn and soybeans in the United States and […]
