Modified Wet Distillers Grains

Region: Northeast

Modified Wet Distillers Grains is a semi-dried co-product from the corn ethanol manufacturing process. Unlike traditional dried distillers’ grains, it retains 50% dry matter content, offering a high-quality, palatable feed ingredient for ruminants. The product undergoes de-fractionation to reduce its oil content to below 6% on a dry matter basis, making it a balanced energy source.

  • How does it fit? Modified Wet Distillers Grains provides a mix of degradable and undegradable protein, making it an excellent complement to forage in ruminant diets.
  • Highly palatable wet feed suitable for all ruminants.
  • Low oil, high fibre content allows for safe inclusion in up to 20% of total dry matter intake.
  • Consistently produced in a world-class ethanol manufacturing facility, ensuring reliable quality.
  • Supports efficient feeding by offering a digestible, energy-rich alternative to traditional dry distillers’ grains.

Dry Matter >48%
Crude Protein >28%
Fat <6%

  • Highly palatable, increases feed intake, reduces sorting, and minimizes dust.
  • Versatile feeding options: Can be fed on its own with fiber sources like corn stalks to dry cows, heifers, and stored cattle.

Handling and Storage:

  • Store on a dry concrete base.
  • For storage up to 1 week: Compact the top of the load against a solid wall. No covering is needed in winter, however in the warmer months, cover with a plastic sheet weighted at the corners.
  • For storage beyond 1 week: Always cover. Create a clamp from the material and cover with a sheet. Mixing the feed with fiber absorbents like soybean hulls or beet pulp is recommended to help stack the clamp higher.
  • Proper storage is essential to minimize waste. It is advisable to keep at least one week’s supply of Modified Wet Distillers Grains in stock. If clamping isn’t possible, spreading 30 lbs of salt evenly on the surface can help preserve the feed. Be sure to tamp the surface to make it even before applying the salt. Modified Wet Distillers Grains is treated with 0.5% propionic acid in the warmer months to extend its shelf life.
