Distillers Grains

A principal co-product of the ethanol production process are distillers grains which is the product remaining after the ethanol is removed from the fermented corn mash. Distiller's grains are the non-fermentable components of the corn and are rich in cereal proteins, fat (energy), making it a high-protein, high-energy animal feed supplement marketed to the dairy, beef, swine & poultry industries.

Pinal Energy offers three varieties of feed; "Wet Distillers Grains and Soluables (WDGS)", and "Dried Distillers Grains and Soluables (DDGS).   

 WDGS is sold at apprximatly 35% solids, is high in energy content, and is highly paletable for the animal. WDGS has an approximate 10 day shelf life.  DDG is made by drying wet distillers grains through a dryer to remove most of the moisture. DDG's are free-flowing granular product with a uniform moisture of 10-12% and has a long storage life.
