Firstly, transport of WBG is costly. Secondly, the rich polysaccharide and protein content and the high moisture content of WBG make it susceptible to microbial growth and spoilage.

- Brewers' spent grain (BSG) is a main by-product of brewing, primarily used as affordable cattle feed due to its high perishability and microbiological instability.
- Research examined how different storage temperatures (15, 20, and 25 °C) and durations (2, 4, and 6 days) affect the quality of wet brewers grains (WBG) for ruminant feed.
- Results showed that while WBG remained stable at 15 °C, mold growth began at 20 °C after four days and became extensive by day six at 25 °C; nutrient content generally decreased with higher temperatures and longer storage times, indicating that safe storage is possible under cooler conditions.
