Brewers’ GrainsDescription

Brewers’ Grains are the solid residue left after the extraction

of malt in the production of beer. Principally, Brewers’ Grains

are used as a protein source that boosts the value of rations

based on maize silage, straw and other low protein

roughages.

Feeding

As a rule of thumb, 4kg of Brewers’ Grains will replace 1kg of

traditional concentrates

Suitable for:

Dairy – can be fed up to 12- 15kg / head / day Beef – Brewers’ Grains can support liveweight gains of up to 1kg / head / day

Sheep – Valuable source of protein and energy for lamb finishing diets and for ewes

at tupping and pre and post lambing.

As a mineral source, Brewers’ Grains have a high phosphorus content, and the feed

can be a valuable source of this expensive mineral. Specially formulated mineral

supplements may be needed in order to maximise this benefit when large quantities

of Brewers’ Grains are fed.

Key Features

• Value for money

• Good feed source for protein and energy

• Highly versatile and easy-to-feed

Storage and Availability

Brewers’ Grains can be fed fresh from the day of arrival, or ensiled for feeding some

months later – in both cases the feed is attractive to stock. When taking

advantage of the seasonal prices for ensiling, grains should be properly clamped.Brewers’ Grains can also be ensiled with sugar beet, known as Grainbeet,

this process allowing the juices and their accompanying nutrients to be retained.

It should be noted that with freshly delivered loads, water may drain off the grains

during the first 2-3 days after delivery. As a result, DM may increase to about 30%,

which should be used when formulating rations.

VitagoldDescription

Vitagold is produced in the production of spirit alcohol from

mainly wheat. The grain is mixed with malt and water in a

pressure cooker type operation to release sugars from the

cereal. Yeast is then added to ferment the sugars into

alcohol. This is then distilled out of the solids still in situ. The

solids are then pressed to extract excess moisture leaving a

friable moist feed as Vitagold.

Feeding

Vitagold can be fed to most farm livestock in a wide range of feeding situations.

Whether used as part of a TMR ration or as a sole concentrate feed, care should betaken to ensure a good long fibre source is present and that adequate mineral and

vitamin supplementation is available.

Key Features

• Succulent concentrate

• High protein mainly from yeast

• High energy level from cooked cereal

• Very palatable and can enhance dry matter intakes

• Ideal for inclusion in dairy feeds• Excellent supplement to cereals for beef cattle

• Bulk density 700-800 kg per cubic meter

Storage

Whether fed fresh or ensiled, it is essential to exclude all air and water from the silo to

successfully store the product. Failure to ensile properly may result in mould growth,

loss of dry matter and a reduction in the nutritive value of the clamp.

SupergrainsDescription

Supergrains is the moist co-product from the manufacture of

grain spirit at the Cameronbridge Distillery, comprising the

non starchy components of the wheat grains plus the yeast.

Feeding

Dairy – 10 - 15kg / head / day

Beef – 5 - 10kg / head / day

Sheep – the high copper content makes Supergrains

generally unsuitable for feeding to sheep

Key Features

• Good feed source for protein and energy

• Highly versatile and easy-to-feed

Storage

Supergrains can be fed fresh from the day of arrival, or ensiled for feeding some

months later – in both cases the feed is attractive to stock. When taking

advantage of the seasonal prices for ensiling, Supergrains should be properly

clamped in anaerobic conditions by excluding the air and tightly sheeting.

Crimped MaizeDescription

New early maturing varieties now allow maize to be used as

a concentrate feed source rather than as a forage crop as in

the past. Crimped maize grain complements all forms of silage, whole crop cereals and conventional cereals by

providing a high energy source of by-pass starch.

Optimum rumen function is critical for high yielding dairy

cows and high levels of rapidly digested cereal starch from

wheat and barley reduces rumen pH, impairs rumen

microbial function, and increases the risk of acidosis. The

type of starch present in maize differs in structure to that of wheat and barley, and

crimping the maize grain results in a slower rate of starch digestion in the rumen. A

greater amount of undigested starch passes into the lower gut, where the increased

digestion improves the glucose supply to the tissue and improves the overall

efficiency of dietary energy to milk and meat.

Feeding

Dairy cows - up to 6kg / head / day

Key Features

• Suitable for all classes of ruminants• Crimped maize has highest bypass starch

• Increases milk yield

• Increases milk protein output

• Improves fertility by reducing loss of body condition in early lactation


Crimped maize can be supplied as full loads through winter for clamping in large

quantities. It needs to be treated the same as any other moist feeds or silage,

and sheeted and vermin proofed. It can also be Ag Bagged for farms with limited or no additional storage space.

Caustic Wheat Description

Whole wheat grains treated with sodium hydroxide (caustic)

which ruptures the grain coat and makes the wheat more

digestible.

Feeding

Typical inclusion levels

Calf - 10%

Dairy - 25%

Beef - 25%

Lamb - 0%

Ewe - 20%

Key Features

• High in starch and by pass starch

• After processing high in rumen buffering capacity due to the conversion of caustic

to carbonate and bicarbonate

• Palatable when fed as part of TMR

• Better on farm option to grinding or rolling

StorageTypically mixed by adding caustic at 3% mixing for 5 minutes then topping up with

water to make the mixture 65-70% DM. Mix for 10 minutes and let it sit for 10 hours,

during which time it will heat. Level it out to cool, feed after 3-4 days. The sodium

hydroxide converts to sodium bicarbonate and impregnates the grains surface

but will darken the longer it is stored.

Pressed Sugar Beet PulpDescription

Pressed Pulp is produced during the processing of sugar

beet. Once the sugar has been diffused out from the beet,

excess water is removed by passing the material throughheavy presses. The resulting moist feed is known as Pressed

Sugar Beet Pulp and can be fed fresh or ensiled for future

use.

Feeding

Pressed Sugar Beet Pulp can be fed to most farm livestock in

a wide range of feeding situations. Whether used as part of a total mixed ration [TMR],

as a sole concentrate feed or as a forage replacer, care should be taken to ensure a

good long fibre source is present and that the minerals are correctly balanced,

particularly for phosphorus, which tends to be low in sugar beet products.

Dairy Cows - up to 20kg per head per day.

Beef Cattle - 20kg per head per day.

Sheep - up to 3kg per head per day can be used for ewes and fattening lambs.

Pigs - can be used as a source of fibre for sows up to 3kg per head per day.

Key Features

• High Energy succulent which can improve energy density of ration• Valuable source of digestible fibre to improve rumen fermentation

• Very palatable and can enhance dry matter intake

• Particularly suitable for milk production as it helps maintain optimum rumen

conditions

• Easily stored and incorporated into many feeding systems

• Ensures good rates of liveweight gain in beef cattle


Ideally the material should be stored on a clean dry concrete base. The materialshould be compressed with a tractor loader shovel, sheeted and weighted to

exclude air. Failure to ensile properly may result in mould growth, loss of dry matter

and a reduction in the nutritive value of the clamp.

EconomolDescription

Cane molasses is a dark brown, viscous liquid produced as a

co-product of the production of sugar from the sugar cane

plant. After dissolving sugars out of the fibrous cane at high

temperature, the crystals of sugar settle out as the liquid

cools leaving the Cane molasses, sometimes called ‘Black

Strap’, behind. Economol is produced by mixing water with

Cane Molasses to help flowability in all conditions.

Feeding

Economol is suitable for inclusion in the diets of all ruminant livestock and can offer a

very effective way to increase the palatability of feeds whilst contributing high levelsof energy from sugars.

Molaferm 20Description

A combination of sugar cane molasses with condensed

molasses solubles (CMS). CMS is a high protein co-product

from the fermentation of molasses. Therefore, Molaferm 20

contains both an excellent sugar content and a reasonable

protein level, which makes balancing the total ration easier

compared with using cane molasses.

Feeding

Can be used in almost any feeding situation as a valuable

source of highly fermentable energy and as a sweetening agent. Especially useful for

ruminant rations based on grass silage where the high fermentable energy contenthelps balance the highly degradable protein from the forage. Can also be used with

maize silage or whole crop wheat to provide a source of sugars to complement the

starch in the forage.

Dairy / Sucklers 1 - 3kg / head / day

Beef Cattle 1 - 2kg / head / day

Sheep 0.2 - 0.5kg / head / day

Key Features

• More balanced analysis than cane molasses• Moderately good handling at low temperatures

• Improves intakes of all forages, good or bad


• Supports milk proteins



Sweet, black liquid. Flowability is better than cane molasses, but will still thicken at

cold temperatures. Viscosity Rating : 2 (Scale 1 to 5)


Bottom-Line Benefit

Trial results show that feeding a buffer feed of Molaferm 20 plus straw instead of

silage increases margins and milk yields.

Golden Malt SyrupDescription

A cost-effective blend of co-products from the distillery and

fermentation industries. Due to cost pressures, many of

today’s livestock rations are making more use of home grown

products such as whole crop wheat, straw, maize silage,

require balancing with some rumen degradable protein. Also

a source of sugar is useful to balance the starch in the other

feeds and help feed the rumen ‘bugs’. Golden Malt Syrup

provides the perfect solution at a highly competitive price.

Feeding An ideal well-balanced, low cost liquid feed for any farm mixed ration. Can be fed in

free access lick-wheel feeders, poured on forage or used as an ingredient in TMR

rations. Can also be used as a replacer for pot ale syrup.

SpeymolDescription

Speymol is a blend of liquids containing Spey Syrup, from

Malt distilling, Molasses from Cane sugar refining and

Condensed Molasses Solubles, a co-product from the

production of citric acid.

Feeding

Speymol is a very nutrient-rich and palatable feed for most

ruminant stock. The balance of protein and energy make it a

very useful feed for supplementing other less palatable

feeds.

Dairy cows – fed up to 2-3 Lit / per / head / day (2.5-4kg / head / day)Beef – Young stock 0.5-1 Lit per day

Stores 2-3Lit per day

Finisher 4-5Lit per day

Sheep – Speymol should not be used in sheep diets because of the risk of copper

poisoning

Key Features

• High in energy

• Good level of degradable protein• Ideal to complement most diets for ruminants


• Relatively high in copper


Free flowing liquid.

Spey Beet Description

Spey Beet is a liquid blend of Beet Molasses, produced as a

co product during the refining of sugar beet, and Spey

Syrup, a co-product from the manufacturing of malt whisky.

Spey Syrup comprises mainly yeast cells and residues from

malted barley after alcohol is distilled off the fermented wort

by high temperature in copper stills

Feeding

Spey Beet is a very nutrient-rich and palatable feed for most

ruminant stock. However, because of its moderately high copper content, caution

needs to be taken when feeding to animals which may be sensitive, whichparticularly restricts its use in sheep diets.

Dairy cows – fed up to 2-3 Lit / per / head / day (2.5-4kg / head / day)

Beef – Youngstock 0.5-1 Lit per day

Stores 2-3 Lit per day

Finisher 4-5 Lit per day

Sheep – Spey Beet should not be used in sheep diets because of the risk of copper

poisoning

Wheat Distillers PelletsDescription

A by-product of the bioethanol industry, processing wheat

to produce ethanol . The grain, is steeped and cooked to

convert its starch into sugars which are then fermented with yeast to produce the alcohol, which is then processed to

produce ethanol. The residual grain is then mixed with wheat

syrups before drying into pellets.

Feeding

Dairy - 1-4kg / head / day

Beef - up to 25%of the dry matter intake of beef animals

Sheep - Up to 10% of the dry matter intake

Youngstock - can be fed at up to 25% inclusion in growing diets

Key Features

• High Energy and Protein

• Complements high starch cereals and other low protein and high fibre products

• Can be used for a wide range of stock

• Good quality undegradable protein source

• 8mm Pellet

Storage

Wheat Distillers should be stored in cool dry conditions: storage is not

recommended to be longer than 3 months due to the relatively high oil content.

Barley Distillers Grains PelletsDescription

A by-product of the barley grain used to produce malt

whisky. The grain is malted to convert starch to sugars, which

are then fermented with yeast to produce the alcohol. Theresidual grains are removed and the alcohol is distilled from

the liquid, leaving Pot Ale. The grains are then mixed with the

Pot Ale, dried and pelleted.

Feeding

Dairy - Normal levels of 1 to 4 kg / head / day, balancing low

protein feeds.

Beef - can be fed up to 25% of the dry matter intake alongside feeds such as sugar

beet and cereals.

Sheep - Should not be fed to sheep due to the high copper content

A palatable alternative to expensive concentrates supplying good levels of protein

and energy, to balance low energy and protein forages.

Key Features

• High in both energy and protein.

• Good complement to high starch cereals and low protein feeds

• High oil content• Good availability all year

• High Copper content

• Reasonable pellet quality

Storage & Availability

Barley Distillers should be stored in cool dry conditions. Due to the high oil content

the product should not be stored for long periods and should be used within 2

months. Care should be taken when handling to minimise damage to pellets.

Produced at distilleries throughout Scotland and available all year round, althoughsome plant shutdowns may limit availability.
