Based on the research reviewed, DDGS or DDG can comprise up to 26% ofthe dietary DM fed to dairy cows. The basic limit as to the quantity of distillers grains that canbe fed will be determined by the CP and UIP content of the diet. Because distillers grains arerelatively high in UIP (55% of the CP), feeding high amounts of distillers grains can result in low7
