FS Ouro is an animal nutrition ingredient derived from the corn ethanol production process, classified as DFS – Dried Fiber with Solubles.
Corn fiber (pericarp) is separated from the grain prior to fermentation, then blended with soluble solids from the process and indirectly dried in steam-tube dryers to preserve its nutritional value and ensure product uniformity. This yields a high-value product that delivers energy, functional benefits, and consistent quality from batch to batch.
