Feeding All Grains

Is feeding spent all grain mash from home brewing be ok for layers?
Thanks

No.
It is incomplete in essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals necessary for body maintenance, egg production and disease resistance.

Even as a treat?

I'm sure as a treat it is fine. You asked if it was OK to feed all spent grains.

Sorry, I misunderstood from the title that said, feeding all grains. I thought that meant they would make up all the feed. It is a good thing to feed. Just be judicious that they are getting sufficient essential amino acids.

Thanks!! That's good cause we produce a fair amount of mash. Was hoping it would be ok as a treat.
