Evaluation of Dried Brewers Grains and Yeast In Laying Hen Diets Containing Various Sulfur Amino Acid Levels

Dried distillers grains with solubles in laying hen diets.

A study was conducted to test the inclusion rate of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) in laying hen diets on egg production (EP) responses for a full production cycle. A total of 288 Bovan Single Comb White Leghorn laying hens were fed diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25% DDGS from 24 to 46 wk (phase 1) and 47 to 76 wk (phase 2) of age. The diets were formulated to be isoca...

Use of Distillers Dried Grains Plus Solubles in Laying Hen Diets

A major emphasis on ethanol production in the US has led to the construction of new ethanol plants and an increased production of distillers dried grains plus solubles (DDGS). In the past DDGS came largely from the beverage industry and consisted of several grains used during fermentation. Recently, a majority of the DDGS produced is from corn fermentation for ethanol production. Little researc...

Degradable Intake Protein In Finishing Diets Containing Dried Distillers Grains

Fifty-eight crossbred yearling heifers (BW = 383 ± 25 kg) were utilized in a completely randomized 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments designed to evaluate the effects of finishing diets containing dried distiller's grains supplemented with degradable intake protein on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary treatments contained 10 or 20% dried distiller's grains (DDG) re...

Brewers dried grains as a nutrient source in diets for pregnant sows.

Twenty-eight primiparous and 62 multiparous sows were bred and assigned to gestation treatments in which they were fed diets conraining O, 20 or 40% brewers d r i ed grains (BDG). Diets were formulated to be equal in lysine content and were hand fed to supply equal levels of metabolizable energy per sow daily. All sows received a 15% protein corn-soybean meal diet during a 21-day lactation peri...
