Blood meal is the dry, inert powder made from blood, can be used as nitrogen for organic fertilizer, also a good source of protein for animal feed. N = 13.25%, P = 1.0%, K = 0.6%. It is one of the highest non-synthetic sources of nitrogen. It usually comes from cattle or hogs as a slaughterhouse by-product.
The "blood" in blood meal refers to the blood that is a by-product of the slaughtering that occurs at meat packing plants. It is most often cow blood but can be the blood of any animal slaughtered for its meat. The blood is dried into a powder before being packaged for sale as blood meal.
The origin of the "meal" in blood meal may be less apparent to most people, because it refers to a seldom-used definition of "meal": a course, unsifted powder ground from edible seeds of any grain (like cornmeal, for example). Except in blood meal, it is dried blood that is ground into a powder, not grain.

Brewers grains are the solid residue left after the processing of germinated and dried cereal grains (malt) for the production of beer and other malt products (malt extracts and malt vinegar). Though barley is the main grain used for brewing, beers are also made from wheat, maize, rice, sorghum and millet. once all sugars have been removed from the grain. The remaining product is a concentrate of proteins and fibre that is suitable for animal feeding, particularly for ruminants. Brewers grains are a highly variable by-product whose composition and nutritional value depend on the grain used, on the industrial process (temperature, fermentation, etc.) and on the method of preservation. Brewers grains are sold wet or dried, The high cost of grains such as maize, soya & GNC has led to its use as livestock feed. Brewers grains can be dried to preserve the product for a long time, and then fed to livestock for weeks and months to come. The high protein content in the grain offers a wide variety of amino acids essential in the diet of cows, chickens, pigs and other farm animals. Cc: Olayinka Oguntusin

Cereal crops are plants cultivated for seed as human food, although they tend to include only crops closely related to grass. such as rice, millet, soyghur, barley, oats, legumes.
Cereal processing represents an important part of the food production chain, but the contribution of cereals to the nonfood sector should not be overlooked. Milling represents the principal procedure in the cereal industry and is classified in two categories: dry and wet.
Dry milling refer to pearling, which is an abrasive technique that gradually removes the seed coat.
wet milling is mainly used for the production of starch and gluten, having as coproducts steep solids (rich in nutrients valuable for the pharmaceutical industry).

Hey! it's Monday, a new day also a new week, meaning there lies a new opportunity for something to happen.
Each time you make a good decision or do something nice or take care of yourself; each time you show up to work and work hard and do your best at everything you can do, you’re planting seeds for a life that you can only hope will grow beyond your wildest dreams. Take care of the little things—even the little things that you hate—and treat them as promises to your own future. Soon you’ll see that fortune favors the bold who get things done.”
