Method for production of ethanol and fodder product

The invention relates to an alcohol industry and production of protein fodder, and may find application in simultaneous production of ethanol and fodder product from cereal grain. A method for the production of ethanol and fodder product comprises steps of grain grinding, enzymatic hydrolysis and production of a wort, fermentation thereof, and steps of distillation and separation of a biomass with further drying thereof to the resultant fodder product. The object of the proposed solution is to improve the quality of the fodder product and to increase productivity of a mash rectification plant. This object is achieved by separating of the biomass from the mash before its distillation to produce a clarified mash, the separated biomass is dried together with ethanol containing therein, and the clarified mash obtained at the result of the biomass separation is subjected to distillation with the production of ethanol and a vinasse. Drying of the separated biomass is performed by means of heated inert gas with the production of a dry fodder product and water-ethanol vapor.
