Distillers grains that increases efficiency and lowers the risk of subacute acidosis in beef cattle. Recently, studies indicate that DDGS as a food source for "human consumption" may have some benefit in reducing heart disease risk. There are two common types of distillers grains. In beer or whiskey production, grains, such as corn, are put though a mashing process, where grain is ground and added to hot water. The starch in the grains undergoes saccharification by enzymes, turning the starch into sugars that are released into the water. The water is removed from the grain, and becomes wort for brewing. The remaining
