Amino Acid Digestibility and Energy Utilization of a High Corn-DDGS Diet Supplemented with a Carbohydrase Mixture

Published: November 30, 2012
Summary
Introduction The non-starch polysaccharide content of corn-derived distiller dried gains with soluble (DDGS) is 3-4 times higher compared to corn. Some of the anti-nutritional effects of its high fiber content may be ameliorated with the supplementation of carbohydrases. Our objective was to measure in pigs increases in amino acid (AA) digestibility and energy utilization in a diet with hi...

Hello Jeffery, interesting findings you came across with but I am missing - I cannot find the whole of the paper - which activities you included in that cocktail and why you decided those activities and not others. Since corn-DDGS at 40% would increase the NSP/DF content in the diet (dilute), did you increase the fat/oil level in the tested diet?; if so, could this not have an influence in the final findings?. How would you explain that your cocktail only improved sign. the AA digestibilities but not the ME?. Many thanks for your answer.
