Title: Brewers Waste
Post by: spursman on October 29, 2009, 10:00:47 am

Anyone know the nutritional value of spent brewers mash and would a 50/50 mix with finisher pellets be ok, would the rule that 3lbs of mash equates to 1lb of pellets apply.
Thanks

I thought that it could make up a quarter of their diet.  Hope that helps - I'm sure someone else may be able to advise.

I have a post on here about 'distillers'. Don't remember the nutritional value, but as I recall one reference came from http://www.ddgs.umn.edu/info-swine.htm
