Here in our area much of the by product from the local dry mill ethanol plants is being shipped to Mexico and overseas. We were feeding the dry product out of the plant that is only 15 miles away. It had 26% protein and about 110% of the energy of corn. Our inclusion rate was about 2-21/2#'s/day at a cost of about the same as corn. The past 4 months we have switched to dry gluten pellets, which are the by-product of a wet mill that produces corn sweeteners. This product is 18% protein and about equal in energy to that of corn. Our inclusion rate is 7#'s per day at a cost of 75% of corn. There is also a higher fiber content reducing our hay needs to 2-3#'s. Thus saving us about $.20 per head a day. I have also seen a 10% increase in intake. You must watch the phosphorus content in these by products and feed a quality balancer to get enough calciuum in the ration.
