Zusammenfassung:A method of producing a bioavailable feedstock comprising the steps of: removing the pericarp from corn kernels; removing the germ from said corn kernels, resulting in a starch and a protein; separating said protein from said starch; liquefying and saccharifying and fermenting said starch to produce a fermented starch broth; removing fermentation solids from said fermented starch broth; pretreating a biomass fiber comprising one or more plant-derived lignocellulosic materials, agricultural processing residues or by-products, and combinations thereof to enhance digestibility thereof for a ruminant; mixing said pretreated lignocellulosic materials, agricultural processing residues or by-products with said fermentation solids; and mixing said removed pericarp and said removed germ with said mixed pretreated lignocellulosic materials or agricultural processing residues or by products and fermentation solids to produce a bioavailable feedstock.
