Has  glycerine been considered for animal feed?  I know the organic  dairy
industry uses it for the treatment of Ketosis ( metabolic disorder  of
high producing cows) . It works well and the cattle like to eat it  .  



It works for animal feed if there is less than .05% methanol, otherwise, I  
believe it is poisonous to animals; so I have been told.
 
There are other end uses if it does not smell like grease or bacon, but  
still has some methanol and fatty acid on a limited basis that I have been  
supplying. Those end uses are volume limited, however.
