Science - Food & Drink / New uses of spent brewing grains
German term or phrase: Frischmasse
I've found the previous KudoZ question/answer but this applies to timber and not spent brewers' grains

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/forestry_wood_ti...

I cannot find the equivalent expression in relation to spent grains. "Fresh mass" won't do IMO

Text: Deutschlandweit fallen pro Jahr etwa zwei Millionen Tonnen (Frischmasse) Biertreber an, die traditionell fast ausschließlich als Futtermittel verwendet werden.

Thanks.

Thanks. Also a big thanks to Johanna, I know it is annoying when one chooses an answer without "agrees" and does not accept the answer with "agrees". It just fits better in my context.

fresh weight


Explanation:
Mass and weight is not quite the same, however, this is the term used in labs for fresh biomass in contrast to dry weight, maybe it applies also here:

"BREWERS GRAINS is a co-product from the production of beer. The
intake of malt is allowed to soak in warm water to remove the
sugars as ‘wort’ with the fibrous and protein residue being separated
off as ‘Brewers Grains’. Though occasionally dried in the
past, most Brewers Grains are moved straight to farm as a pale
brown moist feed.
BREWERS GRAINS can be fed to most livestock in a wide range of
feeding situations. Whether used as part of a total mixed ration
(TMR), as a sole concentrate feed or even as a forage replacer,
care should be taken to ensure sufficient long fibre is fed.
Brewers Grains
KEY BENEFITS
• Source of protein and energy
Good source of digestible
fibre to improve rumen
fermentation
•
Very palatable and has been
shown to enhance dry matter
intakes
•
Ideally suited for milk
production helping maintain
rumen function
•
• Excellent feed for beef cattle
Easily stored and incorporated
into many feeding systems
•
Excellent buffer feed in
cases of grass shortage
•
Typical Analysis
(Dry Matter Basis Except DM)
Dry Matter 20%
Crude Protein 22%
Oil 7%
NDF 62%
Starch 5%
Sugar 2%
ME (MJ/KG DM) 11.7
FEEDING RATES
Dairy cows Up to 20kg/hd/day fresh weight
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Beef Up to 20kg/hd/day fresh weight
(when mixed with dried sugar beet pulp this
produces a feed which is almost complete except
for long fibre, vitamins and minerals)
(20kgs fresh weight = 4kgs dry matter)"
