In 1996, the Board of Directors of the former, Distillers Feed Research Council (DFRC), made the decision to modify the by-laws of the organization and change its name to more closely fit a new mission statement. Thus was born the Distillers Grains Technology Council (DGTC).

The mission statement and goals of this new organization exemplify a broadening interest in current issues affecting the distilling industry.

• The DGTC, a non-profit organization, stresses the importance of utilization of distillers co-products in animal feeds.
• We address the production and product quality issues that are known to impact the market acceptability and production costs of these products.
