Probably something more slowly fermented and digestable like whole shelled corn and or whole oats. The wet distillers grain is supposed to be only 30% of the diet, can cause a lot of problems if fed more than that. It has concentrated sulpher, protien, and toxins after the starch is taken out.tomlin":3guku7ev said:I'm feeding 500# charolais steers wet distillers grain and free choice hay. What can I mix with the distillers to increase gain?
What do you meen when you say bagged? I've never seen wet distillers grain bagged. I'm curious to hear how they do that and at what moisture the wdg is.tomlin":2awi3yaa said:Preston- there is a small local brewery that I get the wdg from. It amounts to about 4 -6 tons a week.
Local price is around $45-$55 per ton/bagged.
Thanks for all the info. I think I'm going to try the wdg, ear corn, and small amount of silage.
