Why is it important?
Wheat DDGS can be substituted for up to 20% of grain for dairy cattle and up to 40% for beef cattle without adversely impacting milk or meat production. A manure management plan needs to be developed that considers the fact that inclusion of wheat DDGS in the diet will dramatically increase the nitrogen and phosphorus content in manure.
Perspectives
The implication of this technology will improve ethanol fermentation efficiency by reducing non-fermentable material as well as potentially change the nutrient composition of wheat DDGS.
