Some local industry people, including professors and researchers, do not really understand the energy values of U.S. DDGS thus they tend to under-value the advantages of using DDGS. Some feed millers and livestock\/poultry producers are using DDGS at low inclusion rates because of concerns regarding mycotoxins. Using MAP funding, the Council invited a technical consultant to Taiwan, organized a survey team to the U.S., conducted DDGS seminars and meetings, as well as published a DDGS technical bulletin for addressing above-mentioned questions and concerns.<\/p>\n
MAP funding for this program was $77,300. As a result of the above mentioned programs, the imports of U.S. DDGS into Taiwan has been increasing as shown in the below chart:<\/p>\n
