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.

This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corn-based dry-mill ethanol production and that of its co-products -- notably distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) -- has surged in the past several years. The U.S. feed industry has focused on the size of this new feed source and its impact on the U.S. feed market, particularly the degree that DDGS substitute for corn and soybean meal in livestock-poultry diets and reduce ethanol's impact on the feed mark. This study develops a method to estimate the potential use of U.S. DDGS and its substitutability for corn and soybean meal in U.S. feed rations. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.

Download or read book Evaluation of Soybean Meal Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles and the Interactions Among Branched chain Amino Acids in Swine Diets written by Henrique Scher Cemin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of 8 chapters involving studies with branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), His requirements for nursery pigs, soybean meal (SBM) inclusion in nursery diets, and Zn source and level for grow-finish pigs. The first chapter presents a review of the literature on the interactions among branched-chain amino acids for growing pigs. Chapter 2 describes a meta-regression analysis conducted to develop prediction equations for growth performance based on BCAA, large neutral amino acids (LNAA), and their interactions. The results suggest that increasing Leu negatively impacts growth performance due to insufficient levels of other BCAA and LNAA relative to Leu. The addition of Val, Ile, and Trp, alone or in combination, has the potential to counteract the negative effects of high Leu. Chapter 3 describes two experiments that determined the His requirements of 7- to 11-kg nursery pigs. The results suggest that the His requirement is no more than 31% of Lys. Chapter 4 describes four experiments that evaluated the effects of increasing SBM in diets with or without distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). In general, DDGS reduced growth performance, although the magnitude was different across experiments. Increasing inclusions of SBM consistently improved G:F and caloric efficiency. Chapter 5 presents two experiments that estimated the energy value of SBM relative to corn. The results suggest that the energy value of SBM ranges from 105 and 125% of corn energy, which indicates that the NRC (2012) underestimates SBM energy. Chapter 6 describes a study that estimated the energy of high protein DDG for nursery pigs and found that it contains 97.3% of corn energy. Chapter 7 presents a Zn titration from 50 to 200 mg/kg for grow-finish pigs. There were no improvements in ADG beyond 50 mg/kg added Zn; however, providing 125 mg/kg added Zn resulted in the greatest G:F. Finally, chapter 8 evaluated Zn sources (Zn sulfate and Zn hydroxychloride) and levels (50 to 150 mg/kg) for grow-finish pigs. There were small improvements in ADG of pigs fed added Zn beyond 50 mg/kg. Zinc source did not influence growth performance, but Zn hydroxychloride improved carcass characteristics compared with Zn sulfate.

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.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three experiments were conducted to evaluate strategies to improve nutritive value of corn DDGS for grower-finisher pigs: 1) use of novel physical processing technology designed to reduce fiber content in DDGS to produce high protein DDGS (HP-DDGS) (Experiment 1), and 2) application of fiber degrading enzymes (FDE) with liquid fermentation (LF) (Experiment 2) and liquid steeping (LS) (Experiment 3). Novel HP-DDGS had greater amounts of digestible AA and energy than conventional DDGS. Feeding pigs DDGS treated with FDE with (without) LF improved feed efficiency in phase I (weeks 0-3) but there were no growth performance or digestibility effects in phase II (weeks 4-6) compared with pigs fed non-treated DDGS. Moreover, pigs fed DDGS treated with FDE in conjunction with LF exhibited lower growth performance and gross energy digestibility compared with pigs fed DDGS treated with FDE without LF in phase II. Treating DDGS with FDE for 24 h in LS did not affect gross energy digestibility in growing pigs. Physical removal of fiber improved digestible nutrient content in DDGS. Fiber degrading enzymes showed potential for improving the nutritive value of DDGS for growing pigs. However, further research is required to refine enzyme application in a liquid environment.

Download or read book The Effects of Dietary Soybean Hulls Wheat Crystalline Amino Acids and High Protein Corn Dried Distiller s Grains on Nursery And or Finishing Pig Growth and Carcass Characteristics written by Devin Lynn Goehring and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six experiments using 3,659 nursery and finishing pigs were conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary soybean hulls and ingredient processing in corn-soybean meal or corn-soybean meal-DDGS diets on nursery and finishing performance. Experiment 1 tested increasing soybean hulls (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) and increasing soybean hulls decreased ADG and G:F. Experiment 2 evaluated increasing soybean hulls (0, 10, and 20%) in diets balanced or not for NE and showed reduced performance with increasing soybean hulls. Balancing for NE resulted in G:F similar to pigs fed the control. Experiments 3 and 4 evaluated increasing dietary soybean hulls in corn-soybean meal and corn-soybean meal-DDGS diets. Soybean hulls in either diet worsened G:F and improved caloric efficiency, suggesting current INRA (2004) values for soybean hulls underestimate their energy value. Experiment 5 evaluated 10 and 20% ground or unground soybean hulls in meal and pelleted diets. Caloric efficiency improved with high levels of soybean hulls. Pelleting improved ADG and eliminated negative effects on G:F with increasing soybean hulls, while grinding soybean hulls reduced performance. Experiment 6 tested increasing ground and unground soybean hulls (0, 7.5, and 15%). Increasing soybean hulls worsened G:F, carcass yield, and hot carcass weight. Grinding soybean hulls to finer particle sizes did not improve ADG and worsened G:F. Experiments 7 and 8 evaluated the replacement of corn with wheat and crystalline amino acids in nursery and finishing pig diets. Replacing 50% of corn with wheat did not affect growth performance in either nursery or finishing; however 100% replacement of corn with wheat reduced performance. In addition, feeding wheat improved carcass fat IV, while use of high levels of crystalline amino acids in wheat-based diets did not influence performance in either study. Experiment 9 evaluated the replacement of soybean meal with high-protein dried distiller's grains with solubles and crystalline amino acids. High-protein DDGS and crystalline AA can replace 50% of the SBM in finishing diets without negatively affecting performance or carcass yield. Replacing 100% of SBM with high-protein DDGS reduced growth rate, but increasing crystalline AA levels can help mitigate negative effects on carcass yield and fat IV.

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

Download or read book Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles as a Protein and Fat Source for Beef Cattle written by Phillip A. Lancaster and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a co-product from the production of ethanol from corn. The protein is moderately undegradable in the rumen while the fat may be protected from biohydrogenation with in the rumen, which increases the amount of dietary amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) available for absorption by the animal, respectively. A study was performed to evaluate DDGS as a protein source in a creep feed. A creep feed containing DDGS was compared to a creep feed containing soybean meal (SBM), which has a low amount of ruminally undegradable protein. Weight gain was not improved for DDGS compared to SBM but was for creep-fed steers compared to non-creep-fed steers. Steers fed DDGS did, however, have a lower cost of gain than SBM steers. Beef naturally has a low amount of PUFA, which creates a less healthy product for consumers. Therefore, a study was performed to evaluate the ability of DDGS to change the PUFA content of beef.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioethanol is the product of fermentation of starch contained in renewable resources, such as corn, wheat, rye and rice. Depending on the technology used for its production, dried distillers decoction may exist in different forms: dried distillers grain (DDG); dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS) and high-protein dried distillers grains (HPDDG), as well as wet distillers grain (WDG), wet distillers grain with solubles (WDGS), and high-protein wet distillers grains HPWDG). Research conducted in recent years has demonstrated the possibilities of corn DDG as feed for livestock due to its high content of valuable protein, high calorific value and bioelements. Distillers grain has been used as feed for beef and dairy cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. In case of ruminants, it is important that distillers grain is foodstuff high in ruminal undegradable protein, with beneficial fibre content that does not cause rumen acidosis. DDGS has positive influence on milk yield and its fat and protein content. Research on rumen fermentation has proven that DDGS positively affecs processes in forestomachs: methanogenesis, ammonia emission and volatile fatty acids profile. Reprocessing of agri-food industry by-products may well be an alternative for traditional methods of feeding animals and utilizing valuable nutrients that they contain.
