[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1712946, member: 12607"] We limit-fed modified or dry distillers' grain products for 12 years. Never fed 'wet'... but some batches of 'modified' we got were pretty doggone 'wet'. Will not cause acidosis - virtually all the fermentable carbohydrates have been removed. But, I wouldn't feed it free-choice. They might overconsume - and Sulfur toxicity is a concern. Wet or modified DG will mold pretty quickly, but studies have been done with it, piled for 6 months or more - it looks and smells like crap, but the cows still eat it-readily, and mycotoxin levels were no higher than they were when it came out of the fermenter, 6 months earlier. You need a good hay analysis and a ration balancer (CowCulator, UofMN beef ration balancer, etc.) to figure out how much you need to feed in order to meet the cows' needs... DM intake, energy, protein requirements, etc. Nutritionist, maybe, but we got along fine with a ration balancing program. [/QUOTE]
