[QUOTE="bgunzy, post: 344860, member: 5865"] No, DDGS should not be fed as a sole ingredient of a ration. It has too much protein and fat and will cause issues. Research finds that up to 50% is about all you should do, and that is in limited situations - 10-30% is more common. Having said that, in some rations it could be possible for DDGS to be the only non-roughage component. Corn stalks and DDGS, mixed together with a balancing supplement, could be fed to mature cows. From what I understand about sweet corn silage, it will have lower energy levels than corn silage. Have it tested if in doubt and determine its value from there. If its next door, yeah, it's probably worth it to haul it to your place if the stuff is free. If you're going a long distance for it, you'll have to determine that yourself. [/QUOTE]
