- Three university studies found variability in the nutrient composition of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), with protein content ranging from 26-38% and fat content ranging from 5-15% on a dry matter basis. Factors like season, fermentation batch, and amount of condensed distillers solubles added affect composition. - Surveys of dairy producers found consistency to be a key concern, particularly for protein, moisture, and fat content which varied between batches of DDGS. - Recent testing of 504 DDGS samples by Dairy One Lab found average protein was 31.2% and fat was 10.3%, but values ranged from 27.5-34.3% for protein
