Someone on some forum I frequent asked in the last week about feeding distillers' grains. In today's Iowa Farm Bureau Spokesman it was announced that the Midwest Agribusiness Trade Research an Information Center at Iowa State University has a new publication out on the topic.

It is only available on line at http://www.matric.iastate.edu/DGBook

Feeding distillers grains book
 
Distillers grains has been a very good feed ingredient for bovines for decades, and is more popular now with the increase in production from ethanol plants. Prior to that, it came from breweries. If that residue were not utilized, beer and whiskey would cost more, so who can argue with DDGS? If fed wet, and introduced in the ration at high levels, yes, it causes the cows to be loose. Like with other feed ingredients, any feeding change should be made on a gradual basis, and especially if protein or energy is being increased. Dried distillers is more expensive due to the drying cost, but will cause fewer disruptions in the gut. Nothing gets wasted in the production of ethanol- even CO2 is often bottled. Research is also being done to determine optimal levels in rations for single-stomached animals like hogs and poultry.
