Feed will also comprise of by-products from various industries such as ethanol, vegetable oil, sugar, brewing or milling industries, or waste food products such as potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, apples, and many, many other foods that are discarded due to poor grade, low quality, or unideal size to be sold to us humans.
