Title: brewers Grain
Post by: sokel on June 21, 2012, 11:21:24 am

I use brewers grains in the pigs diet and the horses donkeys and goats get a bit mixed in with their normal feed
Obviously the poultry manage to pinch it from the other animals buckets but does anyone use it for part of their diet fed alongside layers pellets

I did a few times when I was given some spent barley from a home brewer . No problems with it. When it turned mouldy I chucked the rest on the compost. :&>
