Prof. I could find dried brewers grain cheaply I would buy it. When I inquired into spent beer grain, it was sold wet. I have no way to dry it and no way to store it where it wouldn't mold.

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.
