Invited review: The use of distillers products in dairy cattle diets
Distillers grains with solubles (DGS) is the major coproduct of ethanol production, usually made from corn, which is fed to dairy cattle. It is a good protein (crude protein, CP) source (>30% CP) high in ruminally undegradable protein (∼55% of CP) and is a good energy source (net energy for lactation of approximately 2.25 Mcal/kg of dry matter).

· Corn silage should be primarily fed based on its carbohydrate contribution for meeting energy needs of cattle. This is because 70 to 80 percent of nutrient makeup in corn silage is carbohydrate from neutral-detergent fiber (NDF), starch and sugars. Many producers value corn silage for its protein contribution. However, the average crude

PROCESSING WHOLE PLANT CORN SILAGE WITH CROP PROCESSING
The processing roll diameter was about 150 mm, the tooth pitch 6.4 mm and the tooth depth 5.4 mm. The processing rolls were hardened to Rockwell “C” 56 after fabrication and had a 60° angular tooth profile. In 1997, the rolls were powered via four “A” section v-belts from a sheave driven by the cutterhead.
