Abstract: A system for and method of determining a formulation for an animal feed having a customized nucleic acid material content. The system can include an animal profile, an animal nutrient requirement profile, an evaluation criteria, and/or ingredient nutrient content profiles. The information contained in the profiles and criteria can be used to calculate a formulation having a desirable nucleic acid material content. The optimized nucleic acid material content can be used to maximize satisfaction of an evaluation criteria.

Abstract: A system and method for handling and transporting moist bulk grain by-products include a rail car having an aluminum car body carried by a plurality of trucks for engaging rails. A flexible top cover, supported by a plurality of breakaway curved ribs, is positioned over an open top of the rail car to protect the moist bulk grain by-products carried therein. The car body has a front end and a rear end each having a wind screen for spoiling or deflecting the flow of air over the car as it moves to prevent the flexible top cover from being lost or damaged. The car may be emptied by a car inverter over a conveyor, such as a reciprocating floor which carries the moist grain by-products to a mixer, or transportation vehicles for distribution to customers or users of the grain by-products.

Abstract: A novel white winter wheat variety, designated G1323 that: is similar to or exceeds the best red wheats in high protein and gluten strength values; exhibits a milder flavor than typical red winter wheats; is resistant to sprouting in the head; is low intensity light tolerant, is hardy, resistant to insect infestations and other diseases, and may servive drought and winter chill conditions; may readily be cultivated in regions of the U.S. typically reserved for red wheat production; and yields commercially valuable brans in addition to flour extracts. This invention relates to the seeds of the G1323 variety, the wheat crops planted therefrom, and the hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing the G1323 variety with itself or another wheat variety.
