- Description
- The product consists of dried distillers grains (wheat) with solubles (DDGS). A by-product obtained from the process of wheat fermentation during ethanol production. After fermentation, ethanol is separated, and the remaining non-ethanol material (whole stillage) is centrifuged to separate solids (wet distillers grains) from liquids (thin stillage). The stillage is evaporated to produce condensed distillers solubles (CDS). The wet distillers wheat grains are dried, and a portion of CDS is reintroduced to enhance nutritional value and binding properties. The blended material is compressed into pellets and the final product is presented in the form of uniformly sized, cylindrical pellets of six millimetres in length. Each pellet is composed of a homogenous blend of dried wheat fermentation residues and reintroduced condensed solubles (CDS). The product is then used as animal feed in pellet form to provide a nutritional component in feed formulations for livestock, including cattle, pigs, and poultry.
