An advanced processing method to produce protein feed products from dry grind cereal grains comprises separating a process stream into a fiber process stream and a defiber process stream, sending the fiber process stream through a fiber concentration system that outputs a fiber cake stream that is enhanced in fiber relative to the fiber process stream, and sending the defiber process stream through a feed processing system and a solids separation system to produce animal feed products. The advanced processing method can ferment and distil the defiber process stream or ferment and distill the process stream prior to the separating the process stream into the fiber process stream and the defiber process stream.
