DDGS is a high-protein, nutrient-rich co-product obtained from the ethanol production process. After starch from grains (such as maize or sorghum) is fermented to produce ethanol, the remaining components, primarily protein, fiber, fats and minerals, are dried to create DDGS. This makes it a sustainable and valuable feed ingredient, contributing to a circular bioeconomy by ensuring zero waste in ethanol production.
Livestock Feed: A highly digestible and economical source of protein, energy and phosphorus for cattle, poultry, swine, and fish.
Dairy Nutrition: Enhances milk yield and improves feed efficiency in dairy cattle due to its balanced nutrient profile.
Poultry Feed Formulations: Used as a partial replacement for soybean meal and maize, providing amino acids, fat and energy.
Aquaculture Feed: An emerging ingredient in fish feed due to its protein content and digestibility.
Sustainable Agriculture: Supports circular farming practices by utilizing every part of the grain, minimizing waste from ethanol plants.
Export Commodity: In high demand globally as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly feed ingredient.
