The U.S. Grains Council's SEA&O team has partnered with a local distributor to conduct a training course in Indonesia to increase the use of distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in cattle feed. The course covered various aspects of feed formulation and quality, aiming to reduce feed costs and improve meat production efficiency. Participants learned to formulate their own rations using software, with the best formula showing a reduction in overall feed costs. The Council believes that dynamic feed formulation can help improve profit margins and address the supply and demand gap in Indonesia's beef industry.

Hoping to increase distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) inclusion rates in Indonesian feed lots, the U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) team in Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEA&O) recently partnered with a local distributor to demonstrate the benefits it offers in beef cattle feed rations. The comprehensive training covered topics including formulation techniques for using the existing database of price and raw materials; formulation by production appearance; cattle nutritional needs; and feed ingredient quality, including its effect on the formula. “The participants enjoyed the training session as it helped enhance their knowledge of modern feed formulation and the importance of quality feed when overall feed costs play a huge role in their business operations today,” said Chuin Shern Lee, USGC SEA&O regional marketing manager. Participants were asked to practice using a formulation software during the program. The model showed that DDGS could still be included in the ration ...
