The U.S. Grains Council weekly DDGS report for the week ending Oct. 9 showed the FOB Gulf DDGS-to-soybean meal spread widened to $98 from $93 and the DDGS-to-corn spread held near $26.80.
US ethanol output averaged 1.071 million barrels per day, up 76,000 bpd on the week.
A wider DDGS discount to soybean meal makes DDGS more attractive in feed rations and supports demand, while steady ethanol output keeps byproduct supply ample.
