As-fed and dry matter converter
Doses and analyses are expressed on an as-fed or a dry matter basis. Choose the raw material, or enter the dry matter percentage, and convert in either direction.

1,000 kg of distillers’ grains as fed contain about 400 kg of dry matter and 600 kg of water.
Dry matter of Alpha raw materials
| Raw material | Dry matter | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid wheat Distillers’ grains (WWDG) | about 40% | distillers’ grains page, alphasrl.com |
| EP100 | 880 g/kg (88%) | manufacturer’s technical data sheet, EP100, version 18-02-2021 |
| EP199 | 890 g/kg (89%) | manufacturer’s technical data sheet, EP199, version 01-03-2020 |
| EP200 | 895 g/kg (89.5%) | manufacturer’s technical data sheet, EP200, version 18-02-2021 |
For fermented products the values are averages from analyses: some variation in chemical composition is possible. Formula: dry matter = as fed × % DM / 100; as fed = dry matter × 100 / % DM.

How it works and sources
Dry matter is the as-fed quantity multiplied by the dry matter percentage and divided by 100; conversely, the as-fed quantity is the dry matter multiplied by 100 and divided by the percentage. The default values come from the manufacturer’s technical data sheets (EP100 880, EP199 890, EP200 895 g/kg) and from the distillers’ grains page (about 40%); with “Other” you enter your own percentage.
