Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) – An Effective and Available Livestock and Poultry Feed Ingredient

I want to ask you a question about this product, can it be used for long term? and when using for long term either it is cause of any ill effect or not? As nutritive value seems to be good.

In Ruminant Rations it has promising Results especially intake is very good cause i observed aroma like cookies in feed and it appreciate in voluntary feed intake in Large animals.

One of the variable in using DDGS for monogastric animals is the presence of residual yeast and its breakdown products. There are quite variations in both quantity presented in DDGS and the degree of disintegration of residual yeasts. These two factors create protein digestibility issues (protein in intact yeast vs. released yeast protein). Moreover, major yeast cell wall components (mannan and beta-1,3-glucans) have been identified as PAMP which can induce innate immune response. A recent publication using mice as model demonstrated that a continuous feeding beta-1,3-glucans could induce a very negative proinflammatory response under the conditions of intestinal leakage. On the other hand, it can help if GI tract is infected with fungi. So, it is very complex picture when yest breakdown products are presented. There may need more works to quantify the amount and the degree of disintegration of residual yeast in DDGS. This is particularly important for its application in young animal which has a higher frequency of incidence of intestinal leakage.
