This book was released on 2013 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All dry milling ethanol plants produce wet distillers grains (WDG) and distillers solubles (DS). Depending on the plant, WDG and DS will be combined to produce wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS). Some plants will partially dry WDGS and market modified distillers grains plus solubles (MDGS), or other plants will completely dry WDGS to produce dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS). These products have been shown to contain greater feeding values than the corn it replaces in finishing diets. However, as drying intensity of distillers grains plus solubles (DGS) increases, the feeding value relative to corn decreases. Three finishing experiments and two metabolism experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect drying WDGS has on finishing cattle performance and carcass characteristics and the effects on nutrient digestibility. Diets containing DGS had greater ADG and were more efficient than the corn-based control. As a result, cattle fed DGS had heavier HCW and greater 12th rib fat thickness at harvest. Using the G:F values, all types of DGS regardless of moisture content had greater feeding values than the corn it replaced. Additionally, WDGS had greater feeding values than MDGS and DDGS, and MDGS had a greater feeding value than DDGS. Although not significant, diets containing WDGS had numerically greater NDF digestibility than diets containing DDGS. Organic matter digestibility was improved for WDGS compared to DDGS. Completely and partially drying WDGS reduces the feeding value in finishing diets and reduces OM digestibility.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three trials were conducted using dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS) to evaluate effects on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, ruminal fermentation, and diet digestibility in cattle fed steam-flaked corn-based diets. In trial 1, crossbred yearling heifers were used in a finishing trial to evaluate interactions between corn-DDGS feeding levels and roughage source (alfalfa hay vs corn silage) in terms of impact on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Experimental diets were based on steam-flaked corn and contained 0% DDGS with 6% alfalfa hay (AH), 0% DDGS with 10% corn silage (CS), 25% DDGS with 6% AH, or 25% DDGS with 10% CS (DM basis). Results indicated no interaction between levels of DDGS and roughage source. Heifers fed DDGS as a partial replacement for steam-flaked corn had similar growth performance and carcass merit compared to heifers fed diets without DDGS. Corn silage and alfalfa hay were comparable roughages when a portion of steam-flaked corn was replaced with DDGS. The second trial was a companion metabolism study in which ruminal fermentation characteristics and diet digestibility were examined in 12 cannulated Holstein steers fed steam-flaked corn finishing diets with or without DDGS, using alfalfa hay or corn silage as roughage sources. Diets were similar to those fed in the performance study and consisted of steam-flaked corn with 0 or 25% DDGS (DM basis) and 6% AH or 10% CS (DM basis). Feeding DDGS decreased ruminal pH and ruminal ammonia concentrations, and digestion of DM and OM were less compared to diets without DDGS. The decrease in digestibility was largely attributable to poorer digestion of CP and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in starch digestion. The third study was designed to investigate effects of pH (5.0, 5.5, and 6.0) on in vitro fermentative activity by ruminal microorganisms from cattle adapted to a finishing diet containing 25% DDGS (DM basis). Higher pH led to greater dry matter disappearance in vitro (P

Book excerpt: Three experiments used 1,756 pigs to evaluate the effects of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) varying in oil content on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and fat quality in growing-finishing pigs. A fourth experiment used 12 pigs and determined the energy concentration and nutrient digestibility of the DDGS sources used in the previous 3 growth studies. Lastly, a fifth experiment used 576 pigs to determine the effects of DDGS and wheat middlings (midds) withdrawal 24 d before harvest in diets without or with ractopamine HCl (RAC) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, fat quality, and organ/intestine weights. Experiment 1 determined that increasing 7.4% oil DDGS decreased (linear, P

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The objective of this dissertation was to test different inclusion rates of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) with or without enzyme supplementation. Study one was conducted to test DDGS at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25% on egg production parameter (24 through76 wk). As DDGS increased, egg wt. decreased during Phase I. However; no difference in egg wt. was observed during Phase II. Yolk color linearly increased with increasing DDGS level. Nitrogen and P retention increased as DDGS increased. Nitrogen and P excretion decreased with increasing DDGS. Study two was conducted to test DDGS inclusion of 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, or 12.5% in pullet chicks from day-old to 16 wk and their effect on growth performance. Average feed intake and overall pullet weights were similar. As DDGS increased, BW increased only in 14, 15 and 16 wk. Study three was conducted to test the effect of 5 levels of DDGS (0, 10, 20, 30 or 40%) and two levels of Allzyme SSF enzyme (0, 0.02%) in a 5 X 2 factorial arrangement on egg production parameters. Diets containing the enzyme at 0.02% had nutrient credit of 75 Kcal/kg ME, 0.1% Ca and 0.1% available P. No significant interaction effect for egg production parameters. Feed intake and egg production were similar during Phase I & II. During Phase I and II, egg mass was decreased as DDGS increased. There was no difference in interior egg quality. Specific gravity decreased in Phase II as DDGS increased. Whereas, a linear increase in specific gravity as the enzyme in Phases I and II increased. Yolk color increased with increasing DDGS. A linear increase in N and P retention was observed as DDGS increased. In summary, our results indicated that feeding DDGS to laying hens and pullets is possible at higher inclusion rates if attention is given to AA balance and availability. Allzyme SSF enzyme improved N and P digestibility and assisted in recouping a 75 kcal/kg ME.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on pellet quality and pellet mill performance in pelleted swine diets. The experiments were completed at the Feed Processing Research Center in the Department of Grain Science at Kansas State University. In all experiments, pellet durability index (PDI), electrical energy consumption, production rate, and bulk density served as the response criteria. In Exp. 1, DDGS were substituted on an equal weight basis for corn, with substitution levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. The diet was not adjusted to maintain equal nutrient levels across the treatments. There were no observed significant differences in pellet quality across all levels of DDGS substitution. Both production rate and bulk density were significantly lowered as DDGS level increased. In Exp. 2, diets were formulated to contain the same levels of DDGS, but all ingredients were allowed to vary to retain nutritionally similar diets. In this case energy consumption showed no significant differences among treatments, while pellet quality, throughput, and bulk density were all negatively affected by increasing levels of DDGS. In Exp. 3, the effect of incorporating pelleted and reground DDGS was evaluated. The levels of DDGS evaluated were 10%, 20%, and 30%, using the same diets as Exp. 2. These diets were then pelleted and compared to a control diet with no added DDGS and to diets with unprocessed DDGS added at the same levels. At levels above 10% the diets containing unprocessed DDGS had significantly lower pellet quality than the control, while the diets containing pelleted and reground DDGS showed no significant difference from the control at any level. Significant effects were also observed for production rate, energy consumption, and bulk density. In conclusion, the use of standard DDGS in pelleted feeds is feasible, and although pellet quality may be significantly lower for feeds containing DDGS, the practical value is likely not affected. Furthermore, the data demonstrates some benefits of using DDGS that have been pelleted and reground.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on pork loin and fat quality. In the first experiment, 1,160 barrows (PIC) were used in a 70-d study to determine the influence of DDGS and glycerol on pork loin and fat quality attributes. Barrows were fed a corn-soybean meal based diet with the addition of selected levels of DDGS (0 or 20%) and glycerol (0, 2.5, or 5%) feed stuffs. Loins from the two heaviest pigs in each pen were removed for evaluation of pork loin and fat quality. Experiment two was a pilot study, in which eight non-pregnant sows were fed either 0 or 50% DDGS with a corn soybean meal based diet for 92-d. In the first experiment, there were no DDGS x glycerol interactions for purge loss %, instrumental color (L*a*b*), visual color, marbling score, drip loss %, visual color, pH, Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), cook loss %, myofibrillar tenderness, juiciness, pork flavor intensity, connective tissue amount, and overall tenderness. There was a DDGS x glycerol interaction (P0.03) for off-flavor intensity. Pigs fed diets with 20% DDGS had higher WBSF values, lower myofibrillar tenderness, lower overall tenderness scores, lower connective tissue scores, and had more off-flavors (P0.05). Loin fatty acid analysis revealed an increase in palmitoleic, linoleic, and eicosadienoic acids (P

This book was released on 2010 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growing production of ethanol, dried distillers grains (by-product of ethanol) are being used in many livestock diets, and being introduced into equine diets. A study was conducted with the purpose of assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of feeding a product composed of dried distillers grains (DDG) as opposed to feeding broodmares a more traditional grain ration, both with forage. This study evaluated the effects of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on performance of broodmares compared to a traditional grain feed source. The data were analyzed in a repeated measures experimental design to evaluate the null hypothesis of no difference between DDGS and a traditional grain sources. Ten broodmares (ages 7 to 15 years) were randomly placed in two treatment groups (DDGS vs traditional grain). Responses on each mare were measured monthly (day -3, 34, 65, 101, 126, and 150). Response variables included; body weight, body condition scores, fecal parasite counts, blood records (including: red blood cell count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, neutropil, platelet, blood urea nitrogen, and total bilirubin), heat cycles, and conception rates. Data from the repeated measures experiment were analyzed with a Type III mixed effects ANOVA in SAS (Statistical Analysis System). All tests were conducted at the .05 alpha level Type I error rate. Both General Linear Model procedure (GLM) and Chi square statistics were used to analyze data from this experiment. The diet of Treatment group 1 consisted of ad libitum intake of 13% CP grass hay with a commercially available grain ration, Strategy RTM, fed twice daily. Treatment group 2 was offered EquiLix RTM ad libitum with 13% CP grass hay. Data collection consisted of body weight, body condition scores, fecal parasite counts, blood records (including: red blood cell count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, neutropil, platelet, blood urea nitrogen, and total bilirubin), heat cycles, and conception rates. The data indicated no significant statistical differences (P>.05) in body weight, body condition score (BCS), red blood cell count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, neutropil, platelet, blood urea nitrogen, total bilirubin, or heat cycles for treatment type (feed type). However, the data did indicate significant differences (P

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of 5 chapters consisting of a study evaluating space allowance and marketing strategies for pigs raised to 160 kg, three experiments evaluating the impact of removing corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from finishing pig diets, four studies evaluating the use of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) as a mitigation strategy for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and development of a swine-specific undergraduate research program. In Chapter 1, four treatments were evaluated with decreasing space allowance from 1.17 to 0.71 m2/pig with only one final marketing event, plus two treatments with restricted space allowance and four or three marketing events. Increasing space allowance via increased initial pen inventory increased average daily gain (ADG), decreased average daily feed intake (ADFI), and reduced feed efficiency (G:F). Marketing pigs 3 or 4 times improved G:F compared with to the similar treatment with only one marketing event but resulted in similar weight marketed per pen. In chapter 2, pigs were switched from diets containing corn DDGS to corn- and soybean-meal based diets (CSBM) starting at 76 d prior to market. As time consuming CSBM increased, ADG and final BW increased and G:F improved. Average daily feed intake decreased with increasing time after dietary switch to CSBM. Hot carcass weight increased and iodine value decreased with increasing time after DDGS removal from diets. Chapter 3 also evaluated the removal of corn DDGS from finishing pig diets but utilized two seasonal marketing strategies. Regardless of marketing strategy, switching pigs from DDGS to CSBM resulted in increased carcass yield and decreased iodine value, yet live growth performance was marginally impacted. In chapter 4, four experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of applying MCFA to swine feed on detection and infectivity of PEDV. Applying chemical mitigants both prior to and post-PEDV inoculation was effective at reducing PEDV detection via quantitative real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). When tested individually and in combination and applied before viral inoculation, caproic and caprylic acid appeared to provide the greatest reduction of detectable genetic material. The addition of a 1:1:1 blend of C6:C8:C10 at 0.5% and 0.3% C8 prevented infection in in vivo bioassay. Lastly, chapter 5 presents a model to develop a species-specific undergraduate research program in the context of a swine nutrition program that is currently in use at Kansas State University. This program utilizes both graduate students and faculty to provide mentorship and has several project types that vary in level of student involvement. The program is designed to provide a comprehensive research experience, with an emphasis on including the student in pre- and post-trial activities beyond data collection. A majority of students that complete the undergraduate research program enter graduate or veterinary degree programs upon completion of their undergraduate work and cite undergraduate research as a critical step in their career selection process and professional development.

Download or read book The Evaluation of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles DDGS as an Alternative Feed Ingredient in Poultry Diets written by Robert Earl Loar and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times of economic hardship, everyone must find ways to adapt, and the poultry industry is no exception. The majority of the cost in an integrated poultry operation is feeding the birds. Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) has been around for decades as a by-product of the beverage industry and more recently as a co-product of the ethanol industry. Over the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the production of DDGS from U.S. ethanol biorefineries, making the co-product a very economical choice. DDGS have not held a common place in the poultry industry for long though, as issues with nutritional variability, storage, transportation, etc. all have led to the product being avoided by nutritionists much of the time. Even now, DDGS are fed at a relatively low inclusion level compared to other major feed ingredients such as corn, wheat and soybean meal. With the often volatile price of corn grain, DDGS are receiving more attention as a feasible alternative in commercial poultry diets as research, such as that presented in this dissertation, continues to elucidate the nutritional, economical and dietary inclusion aspects of this once neglected ingredient. The primary purpose of this research has been to determine the efficacy of DDGS as an ingredient in poultry diets, and also to further elaborate on the suitable inclusion rates in a ration. In the end it is clear that DDGS are an effective and suitable choice for inclusion into both broiler and layer diets. DDGS can be incorporated into layer diets at up to one-third of the ration with no deleterious effects on performance or egg quality. DDGS can be added to broiler diets at varying inclusion levels, depending on bird age, as the research points towards increased tolerance of the co-product as the bird ages, without harming bird health or performance. It is also shown that further processing of DDGS, primarily fiber separation, can have a positive effect on bird performance. In conclusion, DDGS inclusion in poultry rations is a sound choice provided attention is paid to the nutritional profile of this co-product.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four studies evaluated effects of dry distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) containing high S concentrations on feedlot performance, ruminal fermentation, and diet digestibility by finishing cattle. Trial 1 used finishing steers fed diets based on steam-flaked corn (SFC) or dry-rolled corn (DRC), and containing 30% DDGS (DM) with 0.42% S (0.42S) or 0.65% S (0.65S). No interaction (P [equal to or greater than] 0.15) between dietary S and grain processing occurred, but feeding 0.65S decreased DMI (P 0.001) and ADG (P = 0.006) by 8.9% and 12.9%, respectively, whereas G:F was unaffected by S concentration (P = 0.25). Steers fed 0.65S had 4.3% lighter HCW (P = 0.006), lower KPH (P = 0.009), and lower yield grades (P = 0.04) than steers fed 0.42S. Concentration of H2S was inversely related (P [equal to or less than] 0.01) to ADG (r = -0.58) and DMI (r = -0.67) in cattle fed SFC, and DMI (r = -0.40) in cattle fed DRC. Trial 2 used the same treatments as in the first stud, and investigated ruminal fermentation characteristics and diet digestibility by feedlot cattle. Feeding 0.65S increased ruminal pH (P 0.05), but decreased total VFA concentrations (P = 0.05). Steers fed 0.65S had greater ruminal NH3 concentrations (P 0.01) than steers fed 0.42S. The magnitudes of these effects were greater in steers fed DRC than in steers fed SFC (interaction, P

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 6,858 pigs were used in 6 experiments to evaluate the effects of crude glycerol, dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), Ractopamine HCl (RAC), NutriDense corn, and feeder adjustment on growing and finishing pig performance. In Exp. 1, pigs were fed diets with 0, 2.5, or 5% crude glycerol with 0 or 20% DDGS. Adding DDGS increased ADFI and decreased G:F with no differences for pigs fed glycerol. Neither glycerol nor DDGS affected any carcass characteristics. Pigs fed DDGS had increased iodine value in carcass fat. In Exp. 2, pigs were fed diets with 0 or 5% glycerol with 0 or 7.5 ppm RAC. Feeding RAC increased ADG and G:F and decreased ADFI while glycerol tended to improve G:F. Ractopamine HCl improved carcass traits. Loin chop drip loss worsened when glycerol and RAC were added separately, however, drip loss decreased when the combination of both were fed. Glycerol did not affect loin characteristics. Neither RAC nor glycerol influenced iodine value of carcass fat. Exp. 3 and 4 were conducted to determine the 4th limiting amino acid in diets containing NutriDense corn. In Exp. 3, pigs fed the positive control and the diet with added Ile, Trp, and Val (in combination) had greater ADG. Pigs fed added Ile or Trp had greater ADG than pigs fed the negative control indicates these amino acids were co-4th limiting for 37 to 59 kg pigs. In Exp. 4, pigs fed the positive control, added Trp, or the combination of added Ile, Trp and Val had greater ADG then pigs fed the negative control or pigs fed either Ile or Val indicates these amino acids were co-4th limiting for 77 to 100 kg pigs. Exp. 5 and 6 evaluated feeder adjustment on growth performance of finishing pigs. In Exp. 5, reducing feeder opening decreased ADFI. In Exp. 6, pigs were fed at three feeder opening and either a corn-soybean meal or byproduct-based diet. Diet type did not affect pig performance. Widening feeder openings increased ADG and ADFI. Feeder setting tended to influence G:F with the best G:F at the intermediate opening.
