8o ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON STOCK FEEDS AND FEEDING 



Brewers' grains are kiln dried and sold as dried brewers' grains. 

 In this form they are not perishable. 



2. Malt Sprouts. — In the fermenting of barley for the manu- 

 facture of beer the barley begins to grow or sprout. When 

 these barley sprouts have attained a height of about yi inch 

 they are removed from the grain by machinery. They are then 

 artificially dried and sold as malt sprouts. Feeders near the 

 breweries often feed them in the wet state. 



3. Distillers' Grains. — In the manufacture of whiskey and al- 

 cohol, etc., the starch and other soluble matter are removed 

 from the several cereal grains. The remaining product is kiln 

 dried and sold as dried distillers' grains. This product consists 

 mostly of the germ, nitrogenous substances and outer cover- 

 ings of the cereal grains. 



Breakfast Tood By-Products. — In the manufacture of cereal 

 foods, only the sound grains are used. Oats, wheat, corn, bar- 

 ley and rice are the principal grains from which breakfast foods 

 are made. The hulls of the grains are usually removed and 

 these hulls together with the inferior grains, and sometimes other 

 parts of the grain, go to make up commercial stock feeds. Oat 

 feeds and corn and oat feeds are stock feeds which are made 

 up almost entirely of breakfast food by-products. The corn 

 and oat feeds are sold to a large extent in this country and 

 sometimes cost almost as much as the original grains from 

 which they are derived.
