DISTILLERS GRAINS is produced from pressed residual (spent) grains, evaporated syrup and a centrifuged cake residue from the whiskey distillation process. Initially, water is added to milled corn or barley and malt, and processed in the brew house to extract sugars for fermentation by yeast. Distillers grains can be fed to all livestock in a wide range of feeding situations. Whether used as part of a total mixed ration (TMR), as a sole concentrate feed or even as a forage replacement, care should be taken to ensure sufficient long fibre is fed.
Whether fresh or ensiled, it is essential to exclude all air and water from the silo to successfully store the product. Failure to ensile properly may result in mould growth, loss of dry matter and reduction in nutritive value.
