[QUOTE="Jake, post: 1179881, member: 4"] We used to feed a lot of soy hulls and ddg mixed. Ran it through a self feeder but consumption was too high to be real profitable. The only problem with soy hulls is the protein can vary quite a bit from plant to plant and load to load. I personally am much more of a fan of feeding protein to cows as opposed to starch in form of corn. YOu have to feed 8-10 pounds of corn to get any good out of it as you are switching the microbe population of the rumen from fiber to starch digesting microbes. If you stay with distillers grains you can feed similar energy levels without the swings in rumen bacteria population. Along with being able to feed lower quality feed stuffs with the protein compared to when you feed starch. [/QUOTE]
