Byproduct Feeds
By: Jenny Groff
What are byproduct feeds?
Typically a waste product

Can be the result of many different industries

Brewing
Distilling
Candy production
Bakeries
Slaughter
etc
Considerations:
Need to test byproduct feeds for
nutritional values
Take advantage of local industries
Transportation
Odors
Biological Values AA profiles
Rumen Undegradable Protein
What is a Biological Value?
Thedifference between nitrogen
absorbed and excreted
Compatibility of AA profile to animal
needs
Examples
Blood meal tissue growth
Casein - lactation
What is Rumen Undegradable
Protein (RUP)?
Protein escapes rumen
degradation
Digested in the small
intestine (SI)
Absorbed in SI as mostly AAs
Meet animals AA needs
Animal Protein Sources:
usually >70% RUP
Plant Protein Sources:
usually <55%RUP
Feeds in Focus:
Animal Protein Sources:
Blood Meal
Fish Meal

Plant Protein Sources:

Distillers
Grains
Brewers Grains
Bakery Waste
Soybean Meal
Blood Meal:
Avg. Crude Protein: 95.5%
Avg. Crude Fiber: around 1%
RUP: 77.5% of CP
Suggested Daily Limit: 3 - 4% of DM
Cost/Ton on 10/22/17: $575 - $625
Fish Meal:
Avg. Crude Protein: 68.5%
Avg. Crude Fiber: around 1%
RUP: 65.8% of CP
Suggested Daily Limit: 3 - 4% of DM
Cost/Ton as of 10/22/17: $1250 - $1305
Distillers Grains:
Avg. Crude Protein: 29.7%
Avg. Crude Fiber: around 8%
RUP: 50.8% of CP
Suggested Daily Limit: 15 - 40% of DM
Cost/Ton on 10/22/17: $126 - $135
Brewers Grains:
Avg. Crude Protein: 28.4%
Avg. Crude Fiber: about 15.5%
RUP: 35.4% of CP
Suggested Daily Limit: 15 - 25% of DM
Cost/Ton on 10/22/17: Variable
Bakery Waste:
Avg. Crude Protein: 12.5%
Avg. Crude Fiber: Variable
RUP: 23.7% of CP
Suggested Daily Limit: 8 - 10% of DM
Cost/Ton on 10/22/17: Variable
Soybean Meal:
Avg. Crude Protein: 53.8%
Avg. Crude Fiber: about 3%
RUP: 42.6% of CP
Suggested Daily Limit: No Limit
Cost/Ton on 10/22/17: $275 - $350
Pros:
Divertwaste from landfills
Biological value
RUP

Cost!!!
Cons:
Cost
BiologicalValue
Seasonality
Storage facilities
Pits for wet feeds
Silos for dry feeds

Variability!!!
Take Aways:
Animal vs plant protein sources
CP, BV
Know your source
Know your feed

KNOW YOUR HERD GOALS
