Distillers' Dried Grains consist of the dried 



Distillers' and residue from the manufacture of distilled spirits 



Brewers' from corn, rye and other cereal grains. As the 



By-Products. process of manufacture utilizes practically all 



Pages 12-13. of the starch contained in the seed, the residue 



is relatively low in this ingredient and high in 



protein, fat and fiber. The better product is derived from corn and 



should contain from 30 to t,t, per cent protein and from 10 to 14 per 



cent fat. On account of their bulky nature these grains can be used in 



the place of wheat bran for lightening the grain ration and they may 



be considered an economical source of protein. It is believed that a 



higher guarantee than can be easily maintained is often placed upon 



distillers' grains. These grains were not found very generally 



distributed.

Malt sprouts are obtained from barley in the process of malting 

 and consist of the barley sprout together with more or less hulls, 

 light barley and occasionally a considerable number of weed seeds, 

 When sprouts are fairly free from ash, dirt, hulls and weed seed 

 they usually form an economical concentrate. If fed in any consid- 

 erable amount (more than 2 lbs. daily) they should be moistened 

 before feeding. 



With one exception the samples collected were of good quality. 

 One sample fell some 4 percent below its protein guarantee and also 

 contained an unusually large amount of fiber.
