Distillers Grains Market Trends
The market CAGR for global distillers' grains is boosting demand for corn-based distillers' grains, which are a critical ingredient in ethanol production. Moreover, Distiller's grain sales are being promoted all over the world by factors including the rising demand for dried distillers' grain as a long-lasting product that provides animals with the necessary nutritional supplement and is practical for distribution and storage. The preference of distillers' grain among consumers is also a result of the fact that it helps livestock grow physically and, in addition to assuring high-quality meat, also offers exceptional performance in the areas of milking and egg-laying.
Furthermore, Cattle diets frequently contain distillers grains (DDG), a corn by-product of the ethanol production. By lowering the amount of the highly fermentable carbohydrate starch, distillers can be utilized in diets as a reliable supply of protein and thus lower the risk of acidosis. Droughts, energy prices, and other variables can affect the cost and availability of distillers grains. Diets may contain less crude protein and more starch-altering rumen fermentation characteristics and feeding behavior if including distillers grains in diets is no longer feasible or cost-effective. There is limited research on how distillers inclusion impacts feeding behavior, despite the fact that the impact of distillers grains on cattle growth performance and carcass attributes has received considerable attention. As a result, the goal of this experiment was to see how low inclusion levels of DDG affected feeding behavior in finishing heifers fed a high-moisture corn-based diet. This study found that modest amounts of distillers grains had minimal effect on growth performance but can change feeding behavior and minimize variability in eating behavior features.
For instance, the USDA estimates that the number of cattle and calves will reach 93.8 million in 2022. This indicated a rise in population, which led to an increase in feed demand. Demand for DDGS has increased recently in areas with strong cattle output, including the United States. Because of the increasing animal population, there is an increased demand for milk and meat, which necessitates high feed ratios and supports the expansion of the DDGS industry. Thus, driving the distillers grains market revenue.
Distillers Grains Market Segment Insights
Distillers Grains Type Insights
The Distillers Grains Market segmentation, based on type includes wet distillers' grains, dried distillers' grains with solubles, dried distillers' grains. The market for dried distillers' grains with solubles is estimated to dominate in 2022 and is also projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to several properties of DDGS such as high protein content, energy, and highly digestible phosphorus content, which are responsible for its growing use as a partial replacement for some more expensive traditional animal feed such as corn and soybean meal. Moreover, DDGS has a long shelf life and can be easily and conveniently transported over long distances, which is also contributing to the growth of the DDGS segment.
Distillers Grains Source Insights
The Distillers Grains Market segmentation, based on source, includes wheat and corn. Corn is a commonly utilized grain for ethanol production; hence it is expected to have the largest earnings share and CAGR over the forecast period. Furthermore, it is a cost-effective option for many feed ingredients due to its high phosphorus and protein content, which provides energy to cattle.

Distillers Grains Application Insights
The Distillers Grains Market segmentation, based on application, includes animal feed and others. The segment of animal feed has also been broken down into ruminants, poultry, swine, and others. In 2022, the ruminants segment was dominant. Due to the increased demand for high-quality milk and beef, distillers' grains are being used in ruminant diets due to their higher protein content than traditional feeds such as corn. During the forecast period, the poultry segment is expected to be the fastest expanding. Global poultry production has increased, and with such rise in production and consumption, it is critical for meat producers to focus more on quality. This stimulates the market for distillers' grains, which are used to provide nutritional feed for chickens.
