Feed and other farm materials

Brewer’s and maltster’s by-products

Brewer's draff

Brewer’s draff is invaluable feed for any farm animal as it supports animal health and namely the production of milk.

Unlike cereal groats, draff features a restricted protein-glycide proportion, which means that it is a source of mainly nitrogen substances in the diet rather than that of energetic value.

The content of the mineral component differs in comparison with cereal groats; draff is higher in calcium, but lower in phosphorus and potassium.

In terms of economy, brewer’s draff is a very noteworthy source of nutrients, including namely nitrogen substances.

It is a useful component of the cattle diet, namely dairy cows, where it can cover a part of the essential nitrogen matter, thus making the ration cheaper.

Dried brewer’s yeast

As feed, dried brewer’s yeast is namely useful in feed mixtures for high-performance animals, young animals such as piglets, calves, chicks, and small animals of all species, and recovering animals.

The biological value of dried brewer’s yeast can be namely expressed by the level of essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the farm animal’s body. In addition, the high biological value is also determined by the highly favourable level of B vitamins as well as minerals and trace elements such as phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper, and zinc.

Malt sprouts

Malt sprouts are among the major by-products of the malt industry.

For its high level of biologically important components, this feed is a much sought-after commodity. In addition to the high protein level, the importance ofmalt sprouts also consists in the level of minerals, vitamins, and enzymes.

It is a useful component of namely mixed feed diets. The sprouts are accepted very well; moreover, they support intake of other feed. They have a favourable effect on lactation.
