Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles is yellowish-brown or dark brown in appearance. The color will be darker if the soluble content is high and the drying temperature during processing is too high.
In terms of taste: Feed Grade DDGS has a fermented flavor, similar to the sweet aroma of alcohol. If the taste is sour or astringent, it indicates excessive moisture content, which may have caused the off-flavor. Because it contains organic acids, it has a slightly acidic taste.
Balanced Amino Acid Protein Supplement DDGS
Non-GMO DDGS is currently widely used in the feed industry, in both poultry and ruminant feeds, especially in poultry feed. The most common type is Corn DDGS Protein 27%
Corn DDGS is one form of corn alcohol meal. Industrial fermentation of corn—specifically, the fermentation of corn to produce ethanol—results in two derivatives: corn DDG and corn DDGS.
Because DDGS has higher energy and total nutrient content than DDG, it is generally used more in feed. During the fermentation process, due to the action of microorganisms, the protein, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids remaining in the waste liquid of DDGS are higher than those of corn itself. Furthermore, unknown growth-promoting factors are produced during fermentation, making DDGS a high-quality protein feed ingredient. Furthermore, other nutrients in corn, such as fat and fiber, remain in the distillation waste liquid. These nutrients are retained in the solid matter after drying and filtration, making it highly valuable.
In our routine testing, DDGS typically contains over 27% crude protein, Combined with its other nutritional benefits, it is increasingly recognized as an excellent new type of protein feed in formulations. Its applications extend beyond poultry to aquatic products and ruminants, and the dosage is substantial.

Product Features and Advantages
1. Balanced Nutrient Composition
DDGS 27% combines protein, fiber, and energy in a balanced ratio, supporting efficient metabolism and growth in animals. It is rich in essential amino acids and natural B-vitamins, ensuring proper muscle formation, improved immunity, and steady production performance across livestock species.
2. High Digestibility and Feed Efficiency
As a highly digestible Animal Feed Protein Source, Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles 27% improves feed conversion ratios (FCR) and nutrient absorption. Animals can efficiently utilize its protein and energy content, leading to better growth rates and lower feed costs.
3. Natural Aroma and Excellent Palatability
The fermentation process gives Feed Grade DDGS a pleasant natural aroma that enhances feed palatability. This encourages consistent feed intake in poultry, pigs, cattle, and fish, promoting uniform growth and stable performance.
4. Stable Quality and Long Shelf Life
The controlled drying process ensures low moisture content, minimizing spoilage risk and extending storage stability. Each batch of Non-GMO DDGS maintains uniform nutritional quality, allowing predictable formulation results and smooth large-scale feed production.
5. Cost-Effective and Sustainable Feed Solution
Compared to high-cost animal-based proteins, Corn DDGS Protein 27% offers an economical and eco-friendly choice. It supports circular agriculture by utilizing by-products of ethanol manufacturing, reducing waste, and contributing to sustainable farming systems.
Applications in Livestock Nutrition




● Ruminants (Cattle, Dairy, Sheep):
DDGS 27% enhances rumen microbial activity, supporting better digestion of fibrous feeds and increasing milk yield and quality. Its moderate protein and fiber levels make it an ideal component for both beef and dairy diets, typically included at 20–30% of the total ration.
● Poultry (Broilers, Layers, Breeders):
Feed Grade DDGS improves growth rate, egg production, and yolk color due to its xanthophyll and nutrient content. It can replace part of corn or soybean meal in the diet, typically at 5–10%, without compromising feed texture or palatability.
● Swine (Piglets, Growers, Finishers):
In swine feed, Corn DDGS Protein 27% provides a balanced mix of amino acids and energy that supports muscle development and gut health. Its natural fiber aids digestion, while inclusion levels of 10–15% enhance growth performance efficiently.
● Aquaculture (Fish and Shrimp):
As a plant-based alternative to fish meal, Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles 27% promotes good water stability in feed pellets, increases feed attraction, and supports strong growth rates in shrimp and freshwater fish species.
● Typical Inclusion Rates
Ruminants: 20–30%
Poultry: 5–10%
Swine: up to 15%
Aquafeed: 10–20%
