 "To answer some of the questions such producers might have, a
conference will be held Nov. 28 at the U of I Extension building
on the Illinois State Fairgrounds," said Dave Seibert. "A wide
range of topics related to feeding co-products will be covered
by expert speakers from three states." The conference begins
with registration at 8:45 a.m. and concludes at 4:45 p.m.
Those topics include storage, handling issues and timely buying
of co-products; using co-products in growing and backgrounding
diets; cow and heifer rations using co-products; using
co-products in finishing diets; early weaning and feeding
co-products; and new co-products from corn dry-grind ethanol
production.
Presenters are Rick Rasby of the University of Nebraska,
Daryl Strohbehn of Iowa State, Paul Walker of Illinois State
University, Ken Nimrick of Western Illinois University and four
University of Illinois experts -- Larry Berger, Dan Faulkner,
Vijay Singh and Seibert.
In addition of U of I Extension, sponsors are the Illinois
Corn Marketing Board, the Illinois Beef Association and the Sen.
Simon E. Lantz Memorial Lecture fund.
