Amorphous solid cast feed product made by solidifying liquid agricultural byproducts

Abstract

An amorphous solid cast feed product is made by solidifying a substantially liquid agricultural byproduct. The byproduct may be selected from stillage, condensed fermented corn solubles, stillage, condensed distillers solubles, whey, condensed whey solubles, or any mixture thereof. The amorphous solid cast feed product may further include an exogenous source of a carbohydrate, a fat, a vitamin, a mineral, and/or nitrogen, as well as a sulfonated lignin material, a recycled animal waste product, and/or another miscellaneous fibrous material. The substantially liquid agricultural byproduct may first be condensed by heat, then solidified by being cooled in a mold.
