Brewers’ Dried Grains is a by-product of the brewing industry derived from barley or other grains used in beer production. After the extraction of sugars during brewing, the remaining solid grain is dried and processed into a nutrient-rich feed ingredient.

Packed in a 50kg bag, BDG is a high-protein, high-fiber feed commonly used in livestock diets—especially for ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats), pigs, and occasionally poultry, depending on the formulation.

Brewers Dried Grains | 50kg are a by product of beer brewing, consisting of the leftover barley malt after wort extraction. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, BDG is a valuable supplement for animal feed, composting, and soil amendment.

Key Benefits & Uses of Brewers Dried Grains | 50kg:

1. As Animal Feed (Livestock, Poultry, Fish)

Best For: Cattle, dairy cows, pigs, poultry (layers/roasters), goats, sheep, and aquaculture (if processed).

How It Helps:

High Protein (25-30%) – Reduces reliance on expensive soybean meal.
Rich in Fiber (40-50%) – Supports rumen health in cattle & goats.
Energy Source – Contains residual malt sugars (good for weight gain).

Feeding Guidelines (Safe Inclusion Rates):

Animal	Max % of Diet	Notes
Dairy Cows	20-25%	Boosts milk yield; balance with energy feeds (corn).
Beef Cattle	25-30%	Great for fattening; mix with silage/grass.
Pigs	10-15%	Limit due to fiber; best for grower-finisher pigs.
Poultry	5-10%	Layer hens & broilers (high protein helps egg/meat production).
Goats/Sheep	15-20%	Good for grazing supplements in dry seasons.
Fish (Tilapia/Carp)	10-15%	Must be pelletized to prevent water pollution.

Pro Tips:

For pigs/poultry: Mix with soybean meal to balance amino acids.
For dairy cows: Combine with molasses for better palatability.
Avoid moldy BDG – Check for spoilage before feeding.

2. For Soil Application (Fertilizer/Compost Booster)

Best For: Organic farms, vegetable gardens, orchards, and degraded soils needing organic matter.

How It Helps:

NPK (~4-1-2) – Slow-release nitrogen for leafy growth.
Improves Soil Structure – Enhances water retention in sandy soils.
Microbial Food – Feeds earthworms & beneficial bacteria.

Application Methods:

Use Case	How to Apply	Dosage
Direct Soil Mix	Till into top 6-8″ of soil before planting.	2-5 kg/m²
Compost Booster	Layer with greens (food scraps, grass).	10-20% of pile volume
Mulch	Spread around plants (avoid touching stems).	2-3 cm layer
Liquid Fertilizer	Soak 1kg BDG in 20L water for 7 days (stir daily). Dilute 1:10 before use.
