If you get spent brewers grain from a local brew pub for your livestock then I would suggest reading this:

The FDA's proposed regulations may eliminate this source of good food for small livestock owners yet it does nothing for food safety.

You can leave comments to the FDA before the March 31st deadline.

Hmm. They want the breweries wasting energy dehydrating it.
Then the farmer needs to waste water rehydrating it to get it back to where it started.

Pigs wallow in mud. Our government wallows in waste.
