Effect of a proprietary premix on productive performance and egg quality of brown laying hens fed high distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) diets during the second phase of production
Thanks for this article;
Firstly;I'm not nutritionist but I need to know:
Is DDG meaning dried distilled grain ?
If it's right ; I was reading that its protein isn't completely absorbed .
I need to inquire is that right or not?
Were all of the diets equalised for energy, digestible amino acid and pigment levels? Was the enzyme used of the VegPro type? Presumably, the DDGS diets had a higher oil content?
To answer Kevin Stickney's questions, The enzyme was an experimental combination of several polysaccharide, protein, and phytate, enzymes that were produced with solid state fermentation. Yes, the DDGS available in 2012, when the experiment began, high oil 10%+ was all that would have been readily available compared with today's supply.
