Spent grains

[FarmerMom83]

Quick question, I have the ability to get spent grains from a local distillery, so I was curious if those were just as good to use as a feed supplement as the spent grains from a brewery for chickens and eventually pigs

I used to have a source too and from what i recall they are a great source of protein and nutrients. The problem i ran into was they have a shelf life....Spent beer grain will keep in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days, and will keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. Do a little research into the specific nutrients because idk if it is a complete source for chickens: https://ift.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1750-3841.13794. Its such a great idea, keep us posted how you make out!
