Hi-Pro(40) DDG

Targeted 40% protein content, suitable for a variety of species

Hi-Pro(40) DDG

Hi-Pro(40) DDG Sample Pile
40% Protein Feed

Hi-Pro(40) DDG is a specialty feed product with 40% protein and low fiber content proportional to protein and fat. It can replace significant portions of soybean meal and corn in poultry, swine and aquaculture diets, and it is a beneficial source of protein and energy for dairy animals.

Hi-Pro(40) DDG in Fish Feed Ration
Hi-Pro(40) DDG Success

Hi-Pro(40) DDG has been incorporated into fish food in Brazil since 2017 at 32% inclusion of the feed ration, and at a competitive value to soybean meal.

How It's Made

Hi-Pro(40) DDG is a grain-based feed product produced with ICM’s Fiber Separation Technology™/ FST Next Gen™. During ethanol production, corn grain is ground and added to hot water to form a mash. Fiber is separated from the mash stream, and enzymes convert the starch to sugar. After the sugar is fermented and the ethanol is removed, the remaining substance (whole stillage) is separated to produce thin stillage and concentrated, high-protein grains. The high-protein grains are then dried, producing a concentrated protein feed.

Study Results
Greater Profit Potential
Greater Profit Potential in Swine Icon

Hi-Pro(40) DDG offered 40 to 50% greater amino acid digestibility in swine than conventionally produced distillers grains, increasing feed efficiency leading to greater profit potential

(Rho et al. 2017)

Greater Filet Yield
