A principal co-product of the ethanol production process are distillers’ grains which is the product remaining after the ethanol is removed from the fermented corn mash. Distiller's grains are the non-fermentable components of the corn and are rich in cereal proteins, fat (energy), making it a high-protein, high-energy animal feed supplement marketed to the dairy, beef, swine & poultry industries. Dried Distillers grains (DDG) is made by drying wet distillers’ grains through a dryer to remove most of the moisture. DDG's are free-flowing granular product that is yellow/tan in color with a uniform moisture of 8-12% and has a long storage life. Distillers grains has a long history of being recognized as a highly nutritious animal feed ingredient. Its outstanding features are:
- Higher Protein & Nutrient Quality
- Concentrated Fat & Energy Levels
- Highly Digestible
- Easy to ration for better feed intakes
- More total phosphorus with less environmental impact
