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.

Download or read book Analyzing the Utilization and Trade of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles written by Maria Celeste De Matteis and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production and consumption of distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a coproduct of corn-based ethanol, has rapidly grown over the last decade in the United States (U.S.) and lately in other countries that prompt biofuel production, such as Argentina. DDGS has a more concentrated nutritional value relative to traditional feed grains and can be used in feed rations to meet the energy and protein requirements. In the first study, I evaluated the factors that determine the exports of U.S. DDGS, while the second study focused on the effects of the inclusion of DDGS in the feed rations of swine in Argentina. In the U.S., the feed use of DDGS has grown more than threefold between marketing year (MY) 2004/05 and 2014/15 and, over the same period, the demand for U.S. DDGS from global markets has also quickly risen. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the determinants of U.S. DDGS exports through a gravity model and develop a baseline of the DDGS exports to major international buyers up to 2020. This baseline was then used to evaluate the impacts of variation in the key determinants on DDGS exports in the future. Results suggest that importers' meat production and consumption, importers' stock of cattle, technical barriers to trade, tariffs, and U.S. ethanol production were influential to U.S. DDGS exports. In the second part of this thesis the potential cost and phosphorus quantity effects of including DDGS in the feed rations on the Argentinean swine industry were analyzed. A conventional feed ration without DDGS and an alternative feed ration including DDGS were studied using cost and phosphorus minimization models for three different growth categories of swine in their growing and finishing growth stages. Results suggest that incorporating DDGS in a swine feed ration can potentially achieve the goals of minimum cost and minimum phosphorus content simultaneously. My assessment also implies that the Argentinean swine industry could benefit in cost savings of up to US $19.21 million and a reduction in phosphorus by five percent if DDGS was fully adopted in the feed rations for all growth categories of swine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique resource that describes the ingredients included in an aquaculture diet, species profiles, processing methods, impacts to environment and industry, and more. Aquaculture is and will remain a major food producing sector in the future. To become more efficient and successful in the aquaculture industry, operations need to provide good nutrition. Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets is a unique source describing the ingredients included in fish and crustacean diets, their nutrient compositions, species profiles, suitability for species, processing methods, and impacts of alternative ingredients on the environment and to the aquaculture industry. World-renowned nutritionists and feed technologists explore practical ways for the aquaculture industry to expand and remain competitive, and discuss ways to develop less expensive alternative sources or protein. Diet costs take up a huge chunk of operating expenditures, with fish meal being one of the most expensive ingredients in the aquaculture diet. Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets provides detailed knowledge on the use of alternative plant and animal protein sources, offering opportunities to either partially or completely replace fish meal. This comprehensive, up-to-date text discusses the most widely used ingredients as well as various previously under-utilized ingredients which could be of significant potential in the future. The book is extensively referenced and includes numerous helpful tables to clearly present data. Topics discussed in Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets (for finfish and crustacean species) include: • farmed fish diet requirements • reduction of waste through diet formulation • poultry by-product meal • meat packing by-products • soybean protein foodstuffs • cottonseed meal • lupins • unconventional plant protein supplements.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current growth in global aquaculture is paralleled by an equally significant increase in companies involved in aquafeed manufacture. Latest information has identified over 1,200 such companies, not including those organizations in production of a variety of other materials, i. e. , vitamins, minerals, and therapeutics, all used in varying degrees in proper feed formulation. Aquaculture industries raising particular economically valued species, i. e. , penaeid shrimps and salmonids, are making major demands on feed ingredients, while relatively new industries, such as til apia farming, portent a significant acceleration in demand for properly formulated aquafeeds by the end of the present decade and into the next century. As requirements for aquafeeds increases, shortages are anticipated in various ingredients, especially widely used proteinaceous resources such as fish meal. A variety of other proteinaceous commodities are being considered as partial or complete replacement for fish meal, especially use of plant protein sources such as soybean meal. In the past five years, vegetable protein meal production has increased 10% while fish meal production has dropped over 50%, since 1989, largely attributed to overfishing and serious decline in wild stock. Throughout fisheries processing industries, traditional concepts as "waste" have given way to more prudent approaches, emphasizing total by-product recovery. Feed costs are a major consideration in aquaculture where in some groups, i. e. , salmonids, high protein-containing feeds using quality fish meal, can account for as much as 40 to 60% of production costs.
