Long-term feeding of DDGS to sows
نویسندگان
چکیده
Use of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in diets for growing-finishing pigs has been the focus of much research in the last 10 years but little attention has been focused on DDGS use in diets for sows. Recently, a few research reports have indicated that DDGS could be used effectively in sow diets. However, these studies were relatively short-term, used a small number of animals, and included only one reproductive cycle. A more comprehensive, longerterm study is needed to determine the utility of DDGS in sow diets.

Interactive effects of distillers dried grains with solubles and housing system on reproductive performance and longevity of sows over three reproductive cycles.
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the interactive effects of dietary distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in sow diets and housing systems on reproductive performance and longevity. Sows (311 for parity 0 and 90 for parity 1) were assigned randomly within parity to 1 of 4 treatments and maintained on these treatments for up to 3 reproductive cycles. Sows were fed either fortified ...
متن کاملThe use of maize distiller’s dried grains with solubles in pig diets
Increasing quantities of maize distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are being produced in the USA, and the nutritional value of “new generation” DDGS for pigs is much improved compared to traditional DDGS sources in the dry mill ethanol industry. Results from recent studies indicate that “new generation” DDGS is higher in digestible and metabolizable energy, apparent digestible amino a...
متن کاملUtilization of distillers dried grains with solubles and phytase in sow lactation diets to meet the phosphorus requirement of the sow and reduce fecal phosphorus concentration.
Two experiments were completed to determine the potential for using distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in diets with or without phytase to provide available P, energy, and protein to highly productive lactating sows without increasing their fecal P. In Exp. 1, the dietary treatments were as follows: (1) corn and soybean meal with 5% beet pulp (BP) or (2) corn and soybean meal with 15%...
متن کاملDietary effects of distillers dried grains with solubles on performance and milk composition of lactating sows.
A study was conducted to evaluate the dietary effect of adding increasing concentrations of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) to corn- and soybean meal-based sow lactation diets on sow and litter performance, energy and N digestibility, plasma urea N (PUN), and milk fat and protein concentrations. Mixed-parity sows [n = 307; 221 ± 15 kg of BW, 4.54 parities, litter size of 10.6, and ...
