What do you do with your used grain? ?

What does everyone do with their old grain after brewing? I am sure there are somethings you can do with it to use it for something... gardening or landscaping? Ideas please.

Doggie treats, bread, granola bars, crackers.......if you do use it in the garden, make sure it is FAR from the house, that shit will STINK after a few days!!!!

Bread mostly, but a friend of mine runs the insectary at the university, he uses my spent grain to raise flies and other insects for research projects.

Put it on the compost pile. You DO have a compost pile don't you?
