Fox River Gold
Region: Midwest
Fox River Gold is a co-product of the corn ethanol production process, consisting of the solid material left after starch removal. Unlike traditional dried distillers’ grains, Fox River Gold is sold as a wet feed directly from the production facility, ensuring a fresh and nutrient-rich ingredient. To maintain its quality in warmer months, it is treated with propionic acid.
Handling and Storage:
- Store on a dry concrete base.
- For storage up to 1 week: Compact the top of the load against a solid wall. No covering is needed in winter, however in the warmer months, cover with a plastic sheet weighted at the corners.
- For storage beyond 1 week: Always cover. Create a clamp from the material and cover with a sheet. Mixing the feed with fiber absorbents like soybean hulls or beet pulp is recommended to help stack the clamp higher.
- Proper storage is essential to minimize waste. It is advisable to keep at least one week’s supply of CedarGold in stock. If clamping isn’t possible, spreading 30 lbs of salt evenly on the surface can help preserve the feed. Be sure to tamp the surface to make it even before applying the salt.
CedarGold is treated with 0.5% propionic acid in the warmer months to extend its shelf life. For further information, please contact us directly or consult with your nutritionist.
