Did you know that cattle feed can include industrial byproducts from food and beverage processing? This short video explains how this practice can help reduce food waste and improve environmental sustainability.
Gil Daigneau, a Florida farmer and the founder of Go Natural Education, challenges the mistaken belief that cows are bad for the environment. He highlights how cattle diets can incorporate byproducts such as:
- Brewer’s grains
- Soy hulls
- Sugar beet pulp
- Distillers’ grains
These materials, which might otherwise be discarded, can be used as nutritious feeds for livestock. This practice not only reduces food waste, but it also lowers the footprint of farming and ranching by minimizing the need for dedicated crop production.
Watch this video to learn more – and reconsider what you’ve been told about cows and climate change. There’s an important role for circular agriculture and resource efficiency in modern livestock management.
