DDGS in poultry nutrition
The majority of by-products produced by the dry-grind ethanol industry are dried distillers grains with soluble. The DDGS from different sources like corn, rice, wheat, sorghum are highly useful for livestock and poultry. Among that corn DDGS is an excellent feed ingredient for use in layer, broiler, duck and turkey diets and contains approximately 85% of the energy value in corn, has moderate levels of protein and essential amino acids, and is high in available phosphorus. With growing demand for food and scarce resources, the animal livestock industry doesn’t have the luxury of letting anything go to waste. Corn by-products (DDGS) from the ethanol industry are considered to be waste, but can still have a use as a feed ingredient. Because it is considered a waste product it is a very cheap source of crude protein, crude fibre, available phosphorous, unsaturated fatty acids and essential amino acids. It is an effective replacer of soya and corn in the poultry diet with the added benefit that it reduces feed costs.
INTRODUCTION In line with the tremendous progress that has been made in meat-type duck production, digestibility and balance experiments are necessary to fill the dearth of information on the nutrient digestibility of widely used feedstuffs. Digestibility experiments for the evaluation of nutrient disappearance along the gastrointestinal tract align with the need for precise feed formulation to match animals’ requirements for optimal performance; and minimize the excretion...

I. Introduction Increasing ethanol production from cereal grains generates huge quantities of dried distillers’ grain with solubles (DDGS). As corn DDGS is rich in protein and energy it was commonly used for ruminants. In recent years, the high cost and supply shortage of common feed ingredients have prompted poultry producers to adopt DDGS in formulations. DDGS is known for its variation. During the past 10 years, we’ve seen evolutions in the ethanol industry and new...

INTRODUCTION Globally, corn becomes a major ingredient for animal feed either as whole grain or by-product from corn milling industries. There is several corn co-products derived from wet or dry corn milling industries (Tangendjaja & Wina, 2007) and at least 2 co-products commercially available in Indonesia for poultry feed, namely corn gluten meal (CGM) and dried distillers grains and soluble (DDGS). CGM is a co-product obtained during wet milling process to produce maize...

1. Introduction Poultry and fish are both increasing in popularity as protein sources in human diets. Fish consumption has increased by 122% between 1990 and 2018 [1] with an over 500% rise in aquaculture production globally over the same timescale. Salmon production is estimated to reach 2.7 million tonnes (MT) by 2021, compared to 0.8 MT in 2000 [2]. Similarly, poultry meat production is also increasing year on year and is predicted to have reached 137 MT in 2020 [1]. This...

Poultry feed contains major ingredient i.e., soybean meal as the principal source of protein. Soybean meal is the dominant protein supplement used in poultry diets & also has an excellent amino acid profile the primary protein source in poultry diets. In recent years most producers are looking for alternate protein sources of soybean due to skyrocketing of the commodity. There are some alternative protein sources which have been used by poultry/feed producers as a...

Introduction The rapid growth of the ethanol industry in the United States during the last decade has resulted in large quantities of ethanol coproducts in the marketplace, which are now commonly available as feed ingredients for livestock and poultry. These coproducts are often added to animal diets as sources of protein and energy. Mineral concentrations in the coproducts are also an important consideration in animal feed formulations. A large portion of ethanol...

INTRODUCTION Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are by-products obtained during production of biofuels as renewable energy sources. During starch fermentation from cereal grains, ethanol and CO 2 are produced; meanwhile, the remaining nutrients are concentrated in the DDGS fraction (Singh et al., 2005). Corn is the main cereal used in ethanol production in the United States; however, other grains such as wheat, barley, and sorghum are utilized in different...

High-shear dry extruded corn and soybeans and the quest for higher growth performance in modern broiler genetics. Feeding young broilers during the first 10 days post-hatch is the new frontier in poultry nutrition. The same holds true for any effort to boost life-time growth performance in modern genetics through nutrition. Research and commercial experience have shown that it is possible to boost overall growth performance by...

I. INTRODUCTION Owing to the increased efficiency, growth rate and reduced mortality achieved, antibiotics have been used continuously in the broiler industry for decades (Cromwell, 2002) and are being questioned for antibiotic resistance. Some of the alternatives include vitamins, minerals, herbal drugs, plant extracts, phytobiotics and antimicrobial peptides and beneficial bacteria (Yadav et al., 2016). Recently, there has been increased interest given to polyphenols...

INTRODUCTION The largest costs in poultry meat and egg production are for feed. Feed cost minimization is dependent on determining the proper blend of ingredients to provide the desired nutrient levels. The desired nutrient levels should be those that result in the greatest differences in returns from meat and eggs sold and feed costs. Ler-man and Bie (1975) demonstrated the importance of knowing the variation in ingredients and variation in expected responses from different...

INTRODUCTION The rapid expansion of commercial ethanol production, esp. in the United States, has resulted in a significant increase in the availability of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a co-product of the ethanol production process (De Matteis et al. , 2019). Total annual ethanol and DDGS production in the USA is 15 billion gallons and 44 million metric tons, respectively, making the USA the world’s largest DDGS producer (US Grains Council,...

Particle size manipulation has recently become a “hot topic” as a means to improve the efficiency of poultry live performance. Interest has been driven by the juxtaposition of classic theory (i.e. finer grinds lead to improved digestion) with the relatively modern idea that coarse ingredients are necessary to complement the natural design and function of the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT). As with most animal performance research, evaluating the impacts of feed particle size...
