Feed mill goes for 15% DDGS in pig diets

The US Grains Council has welcomed additional uptake in Ireland, for feeding to pigs, of American distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), the nutrient-rich co-product of dry-milled ethanol production.

The USGC said an increase in inclusion rates, from zero to 15%, by an Irish feed mill will add 75,000 metric tons in additional demand annually, valued at $17.2 million.
