Description
Supergrains are a natural moist co-product from the manufacture of grain spirit at the Cameronbridge Distillery.
It is a highly nutritious feed for all ruminant stock, being rich in natural protein, energy and yeast residues.
Supergrains are principally comprised of the non-starch parts of wheat grains, which have undergone a cooking stage as part of the distillation process, which greatly enhances the digestibility of the product.

Feeding
Supergrains provide an excellent source of both energy and protein. An additional useful benefit is the oil content which further boosts the energy level of Supergrains. This superior nutritional profile allows Supergrains to replace some concentrates in the total ration and is particularly useful in silage based dairy rations. It will also provide great benefit when fed with cereals in beef rations.
Since there is a high level of copper in Supergrains, the product should only be fed to sheep under professional advice.
