SC Iowa | You are correct Brandon....
DDG values up to 3-4 months ago primairly reflected their worth as replacement energy source (ie; corn)....now that soybean meal has shot up $100/ton since mid August, the protein value of DDG's has "kicked in" to the value equation....
A feed user in Asia or someplace else is running his calculator and determining he can import less total pounds of feed to meet energy/protein requirements by including DDG's in the ration at appropriate amount...and with freight a big component of the delivered price to those destinations, the value of DDG's goes up until a new price equilibrium is established...nutrient density has value... | |
