Distillers grains are the non-fermentable components of the corn and are rich in cereal proteins, fat (energy), making it a high-protein, high-energy animal feed supplement marketed to the dairy, beef, swine and poultry industries.

The two varieties of feed are 'modified wet' distillers grains which is a cake like product yellow in color with a 50% moisture content and has approximately a two week storage life.
