[CHICKENS-101] Re: [Chickens101Cafe] Has anyone fed Spent Beer Grain?

 

Partial Listing nutritional analysis of
DRY brewers grain, Int. Feed Number: 5-02-141 - 8% moisture or less:
 
Crude Protein:    27.1%
ME (chicken):    2,293 Kcal/kg
 
Crude Fiber:    13.2%
 
Calcium:        0.30%
Magnesium:    0.15%
Phosphorus:    0.51%
Manganese:    37 mg/kg
Selenium:    0.70 mg/kg
 
Vit E:                26 mg/kg
Biotin:       0.63 mg/kg
Choline:    1,617 mg/kg
Folic Acid:    7.1 mg/kg
Niacin:        43.0 mg/kg
Pantothenic Acid:    8.2 mg/kg
Riboflavin:    1.4 mg/kg
Thiamine:    0.6 mg/kg
B6:    0.7 mg/kg
B12:    0.0 mg/kg
Xanthophylls:    0.0 mg/kg
 
Glycine    1.08%
Lysine:    0.88%
Methionine:    0.46%
Threonine:    0.93%
 
It is important to note these nutritional values are for DRY brewers grains. A Kg (1000 g) of dry grain will typically absorb 500 g of water thus wet mash is 33% water which significantly reduces the nutritional values. For example 21% dry (Int. Feed Number 5-02-142) reduces Protein to 4.9%, Calcium: 0.07%.
 
DRY brewers grains make a great protein base for a ration or as a protein supplement.  Be aware if there is no yellow corn (maize) or alfalfa, etc. in the ration yolks may be pale.
