Description
Wellpark Mash Filter Grains are nutritionally similar to Distillers Draff. However, they differ substantially in appearance since the malted barley used is ground rather than left whole prior to the brewing process. This grinding facilitates the extraction of more liquor (‘wort’). The resulting Mash Filter Grains, however, are therefore higher in dry matter, giving excellent value for money.

Storage and Handling
Wellpark Mash Filter Grains should be left to cool for 24 hours prior to sheeting. This will allow time for heat to dissipate thus reducing potential for spoilage.
Wellpark Mash Filter Grains are denser than traditional Distillers Draff, so a similar tonnage will fit into a smaller volume.
As with traditional Distillers Draff, Wellpark Mash Filter Grains should be ensiled in anaerobic conditions.
Nutritional Profile
Wellpark Mash Filter Grains offer distinct nutritional benefits to stock. Firstly, the dry matter level is 2% higher than for traditional Distillers Draff (or 8.3% extra!). Secondly, Mash Filter Grains undergo more heat treatment during production than traditional Distillers Draff thus giving a higher level of high quality by-pass protein (DUP). This is especially valuable to high yielding dairy cows.
Feeding
Due to their fine particle size Wellpark Mash Filter Grains have distinct feeding charac- teristics compared to Distillers Draff. When fed on their own in a trough, stock find Wellpark Mash Filter Grains a little less easy to consume than Distillers Draff and stock should be given the opportunity to acclimatise to their physical nature.
The best way to feed Wellpark Mash Filter Grains is as part of a mixture, usually in a Total Mixed Ration.
Also, due to both the higher dry matter and the greater density, Wellpark Mash Filter Grains should be fed at a slightly lower rate than Distillers Draff to provide the same quantity of nutrients to the cow.
The table below shows the weight of Wellpark Mash Filter Grains, which will replace the equivalent level of Distillers Draff. Or by feeding the same weight of Wellpark Mash Filter Grains as Distillers Draff, more nutrients will be provided than previously.
