Summary of Distillers Grains Feeding Recommendations for Dairy Cows and Dairy-Beef• “We recommend feeding a maximum of about 20% of total ration dry matter as distillers grains. This means 10 to 13 lbs.per cow daily of DDG or 30 or 40 lbs. per day of WDG for most lactating cows.”— Dr. David Schingoethe, Distillers Grains for Dairy Cattle, South Dakota State UniversityExtension Service Extension Extra, ExEx 4022, August 2004• “Distillers grains are a palatable, high energy, fiber feed and a good source of UIP for use in feeding dairy cows.…DDGS or DDG can comprise up to 26% of the dietary DM fed to dairy cows.”— Dr. James G. Linn, University of Minnesota, and Dr. Larry Chase, Cornell University, UsingDistillers Grains in Dairy Cattle Rations, Professional Dairy Conference Proceedings, 1996• “Commonly, distillers grains and corn gluten feed are fed at 20% of the dietary dry matter, but recent research indicatesthat substantially more can in fact be fed, especially for CGF. Maximizing the use of these corn coproducts in ruminantdiets will become increasingly important as more ethanol plants are built in the near future.”— Dr. Terry Klopfenstein, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Uses of Corn Coproducts in Beef and Dairy Rations,Minnesota Corn Growers Technical Symposium Proceedings, 2002• “Recent research results from Iowa State University have shown that 10, 20 or 40% of the ration dry matter as drydistillers grains with solubles could be fed to growing Holstein steers from 425 to 700 lbs. without affecting feed intake orgain.”• “Feeding 10, 20 or 40% dry distillers grains or 10 and 20% wet distillers grains did not affect carcass weight, marbling oryield grades.”— Dr. Allen Trenkle, Iowa State University, The Advantages of Using Corn Distillers Dried Grains withSolubles in Dairy Beef Diets (Iowa Corn Growers Association brochure), 2004• “Dairy-beef steers should be fed DG at 12.5-37.5% of the diet for optimum performance, carcass composition and profitmargins…”• “Optimizing the use of distillers grains is becoming increasingly important as ethanol production increases. Dairy-beefproduction is a system that has potential to use large amounts of DG.”— C.B. Rinker and L.L. Berger, Optimizing the Use of Distiller Grain for Dairy-Beef Production,University of Illinois, 2003The National Corn Growers Association provides these feeding recommendations to assist producers in understanding generally-acceptedfeeding levels. However, all rations for specific herds should be formulated by a qualified nutritionist. Moreover, the NCGA has no controlover the nutritional content of any specific product which may be selected for feeding. Producers should consult an appropriate nutritionistfor specific recommendations. NCGA makes no warranties that these recommendations are suitable for any particular herd or for anyparticular animal. The NCGA disclaims any liability for itself or its members for any problems encountered in the use of theserecommendations. By reviewing this material, producers agree to these limitations and waive any claims against NCGA for liability arisingout of this material.
The Advantages of Using Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Dairy Diets• An economical addition to dairy diets• A very good protein and energy source for dairy rations• The protein in new generation distillers grains:- More than 30% of dry matter- A good source of ruminally undegradable (bypass) protein- A good quality protein although lysine is the first limiting amino acid- Production by dairy cows fed distillers grains as the protein supplement is ashigh as or higher than when fed soybean meal• The energy in new generation distillers grains:- 10 to 15% higher than previously reported for distillers grains- More energy per pound than in corn- Replacing the starch in corn with the highly digestible fiber and fat indistillers grains may decrease digestive upsets• Recommend feeding a maximum of ~ 20% of ration dry matter as distillersgrains- Can usually formulate nutritionally balanced diets- At more than 20-25% of ration dry matter:a) May decrease DM intake, especially if wet distillers grainsb) May decrease milk production when fed in high amountsc) May feed excess protein and possibly excess phosphorus• Wet versus dried distillers grains:- Nutrient content is the same for both- Storage and handling are considerations with wet distillers grains• New considerations with feeding wet distillers grains:- Can store in silo bags for extended periods of time- Can blend with soyhulls, beet pulp, or corn silage• Considerations when selecting suppliers of distillers grains:- Uniform nutrient content and quality- Watch for evidence of heat damage- “Modified” distillers grains may have certain fractions blended back intodistillers grains. One needs to be aware of the nutrient content of suchproducts so that total rations can be properly formulated using the modifieddistillers grains. Such products may actually be a higher value product to theproducer, but one also wants a consistent product from one batch to the next.For additional information on feeding distillers grains to dairy cattle contact:Dr. David SchingoetheDairy Science DepartmentSouth Dakota State UniversityBrookings, SD 57007-0647605-688-548305/19/2004
