title: Biofuels coproducts tolerance and toxicology for ruminants.
abstract: The rapid growth of the biofuels industry in the Midwest in the past 10 years has created an increased supply of corn coproduct feed for animals. This article discusses the tolerance and toxicology of biofuels coproducts in ruminants, including polioencephalomalacia, sulfur toxicosis, sulfur metabolism, mycotoxins, antibiotic residue, and biodiesel by-product toxicosis.
