Teaming up an ethanol plant with an on-site feedlot will result in a net energy balance that is three times that of a standard dry mill ethanol plant and five times that of gasoline, according to a study for E BioFuels Complex, scheduled to begin operation this spring. And corn ethanol is notoriously energy-intensive to produce, though the American Coalition for Ethanol denounces as "outrageous" the accusation that it actually has a negative energy balance. Recent research at the University of Illinois shows cows fed a low-energy far-off dry cow ration had higher dry matter intakes and energy balance and lower blood non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels during the first 10 days after calving. |
