We didn’t see any differences in animal weight gain or body condition score or ultrasound fat depth.

What we wanted to see is, by feeding these higher levels of distillers grains, are we having a substantial effect on the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus coming out in the manure.

We’re continually seeing more and more plants being built and coming on line, and as a result we’ve got distillers grains as a very readily available resource for the livestock industry.

You can do it yourself, but the trick is to make sure you get it in the right place, you get it mixed up well and it’s as sterile as possible.

At least our initial samples say it will increase some but really nothing dramatic enough to cause concern from a human health standpoint.
