Moist Feeds

Moist feeds can represent a very cost-effective way of purchasing high quality nutrients and are usually much cheaper than their dried counterparts.

Spoilage is a key issue surrounding the use of these products. Unless the product is to be used within a few days of delivery it is better to be stored in a clamp or silo where it can be rolled to exclude air and consequently is more resistant to spoilage.

In some cases warm temperature and exposure to air will result in large quantities of these products being wasted. Needless to say this can make them very expensive and also presents a significant health risk to the livestock.

Brewers Grains

Brewers Grains are the original most feed. Typically 23% dry matter, this feed-stuff provides around 11.7MJ/Kg DM and 23% protein. Known for it's pallatibility, Brewers Grains are used to stretch forage stocks and add protein to the diet.

Supergrains

Supergrains are a by-product from Cameron Bridge wheat distillery in Fife. At 28% dry matter, 13.2 ME and 28% protein, they represent a moist concentrate grade of feed.

Mash Filter

Similar in analysis to Supergrains, although only 24% dry matter, this product is more finely ground.

Pressed Sugar Beet Pulp

A by product of sugar beet processing, Pressed Sugar Beet Pulp is an extremely good source of digestible fibre. It is 12.9 MJ/Kg DM and 11% protein. In recent years British Sugar have improved their pressing techniques. As a result less energy is required to dry the product, and Pressed Pulp is now usually delivered at 28-30% dry matter.
