Ensus Distillers Meal is a product of the bio-ethanol industry. Following the fermentation of wheat and maize (feedstocks vary from 100% wheat to 100% maize and any combination between) to produce ethanol, the distilllers meal is produced from the dried solid residues of the fermented grains mixed with the evaporated distillery syrups (solubles).

Ensus Distillers Meal is FEMAS assured (or a recognised equivalent) product and marketed by KW Alternative

There is an inherent risk of mycotoxins associated with the feeding of maize based products, this can fluctuate seasonally, based on growing, harvesting and storage conditions and therefore risks are well known and documented. These products are fed as part of ruminant diets on the basis of nutritional advice which must always include the addition of a mycotoxin binder made up of a bentonite clay and a yeast cell such as UltraSorb R, to mitigate these risks. For more information on UltraSorb R and its feed rate please see the datasheet on our website or contact your KW salesperson.
