Supergrains

A very palatable yeast enriched succulent feed with a rich protein content. It is a moist co-product of grain whisky and neutral spirit production at Cameronbridge. During the distilling process the grain is cooked, mashed and fermented before distillation. The spent wash that remains is the basis for supergrains output. A raw material rich in Crude Protein, Oil and Fibre with small amounts of starch, sugar and ash. It is also high in Digestible Energy. Like most moist feeds it has been shown to improve total dry matter intake.

Feeding

Supergrains provide an excellent source of both energy and protein. An additional useful benefit is the oil content which further boosts the energy levels of Supergrains. This superior nutritional profile allows Supergrains to replace some concentrates in the total ration and is particularly useful in silage-based airy rations. It will also provide great benefit when fed with cereals in beef rations.

Typical Daily Feeding Rates

Limits to Usage

Pay careful attention to mineral supplementation. The copper level is usually between 30 - 90 mg/kg making it generally unsuitable for feeding to sheep. Magnesium levels are low. Product is treated with propionic acid before leaving the distillery and is not suitable for organic rations.
