Introducing RumenEdge by AgriBest Feeds

At AgriBest Feeds, we’re dedicated to helping ranchers and livestock producers enhance herd health and performance through innovative, nutrition-forward solutions. That’s why we’re proud to introduce RumenEdge—our latest feed supplement powered by a proven ingredient: Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS).


What Are Corn DDGS?

Corn DDGS are a co-product of the ethanol production process. After starch is removed from corn for ethanol, the remaining nutrients—protein, fat, fiber, and minerals—are dried to form DDGS. The result? A nutrient-dense, economical feed ingredient rich in energy, protein, and digestible fiber.


Why Corn DDGS Matter in Livestock Nutrition

DDGS offer numerous benefits across livestock species. Here’s what makes them valuable:

1. High in Protein and Energy

With 25–30% crude protein and energy levels similar to corn, DDGS are a smart addition to rations for beef and dairy cattle, sheep, goats, and swine. Now, thanks to tub technology, their benefits can reach livestock on the range through SweetPro or the new RumenEdge tubs.

2. Better Rumen Function

DDGS contain highly digestible fiber, supporting healthy rumen fermentation and improving feed efficiency. Because they’re already “predigested” during ethanol fermentation, they require minimal digestive energy, giving your livestock more usable nutrition.

3. Palatable and Encourages Intake

DDGS are naturally palatable, helping maintain consistent feed intake—especially during stressful periods like weaning, transport, or seasonal change.

4. Cost-Effective Feed Solution

As a by-product of ethanol production, DDGS are often more affordable than traditional protein sources—helping you save on feed costs without compromising nutrition.


Meet RumenEdge: Feed Efficiency, Elevated

RumenEdge builds on the power of DDGS to offer a complete supplement that boosts digestive health and herd performance.
