DDGS (Dried
Distillers Grains with Solubles), a coproduct of the
ethanol production process, is a high nutrient feed
valued by the livestock industry. When ethanol plants
make ethanol, they use only starch from corn and grain
sorghum. |
|
The remaining
nutrients - protein, fiber and oil - are the
by-products used to create livestock feed called dried
distillers grains with solubles. A third of the grain
that goes into ethanol production comes out as DDGS.
Each bushel of grain used in the ethanol-making process
produces 2.7 gallons of ethanol; 18
pounds of DDGS and
18 pounds of carbon dioxide. |
DDGS Qualities
-
Rich in cereal
and residual yeast proteins, energy, minerals and
vitamins.
-
Excellent
digestible protein and energy source for beef cattle.
-
Can comprise
20-30% of the ration DM.
-
Can also be
used in turkey and swine applications.

DDGS is a valuable feed for
both feedlot and dairy cattle. In North America, over
80% of DDGS is used in ruminant diets. DDGS also is fed
to poultry. Recent studies show excellent nutritional
value of DDGS in swine diets, and its use is increasing
in the pork industry. |
