Abstract

Information is provided about the characteristics, composition, and use of distiller?s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and their composition for cattle milk production. Several hampers should be solved to expand the markets of distiller?s dried grains with solubles (DDGS). It is fundamental that corn producers, ethanol, cattle, poultry, and balanced feed industries work together to solve matter related to the variability of the product, the absence of standardized sampling methods, the transportation, and the knowledge of the advantages and limitations of DDGS. Distiller?s dried grains used in the feeding of dairy cows are a good source of protein, fat, phosphorus, and energy.
Key words: distiller?s grains, dairy cows, milk yield.
