Effect of corn DDGS on broilers performance and meat quality

Abstract

FOLTYN MARIAN, RADA VOJTĚCH, LICHOVNÍKOVÁ MARTINA, DRAČKOVÁ ELIŠKA: Eff ect of corn DDGS on broilers performance and meat quality. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 1, pp. 59-64 The eff ects of graded levels of corn distillers dried grains with soluble (DDGS) as partial replacement for soybean meal in diets for broilers were observed. In the fi rst experiment 900 males of ROSS 308 were used and they fed diets with 0, 60, 120 and 180 g/kg DDGS in grower diets (Control group, D6, D12 and D18) from 9 th to 35 th day of age. In the second experiment 800 broilers both sex of COBB 500 were used and they fed diets with 0 and 200 g/kg DDGS in grower diets (Control group and D20) from 9 th to 35 th day of age. Until age 30 th day there were not signifi cant diff erences among the groups in live weight in the fi rst experiment. But at 35 th day of age the live weight of chickens fed 60 and 120 g/ kg DDGS (2498.5 g and 2496.3 g) was signifi cantly higher (P < 0.05) than in Control group (2425.9 g, without DDGS). In the second experiment, from 23 th to 35 th day of age signifi cantly higher (P < 0.05) live weight had group fed diet without DDGS in comparison with chickens fed 200 g/kg DDGS. The diff erence between groups at 35 th day of age was 75.7 g. Feed conversion ratio was similar in all groups in both experiments. There was not observed signifi cant eff ect of DDGS on weight and proportion of abdominal fat. Feeding DDGS had signifi cant eff ect (P < 0.05) on decrease the lightness (L*) of breast meat in the fi rst experiment, which was not confi rmed in the second experiment.

Effect of feeding corn distillers dried grains with solubles naturally contaminated with deoxynivalenol on growth performance, meat quality, intestinal permeability, and utilization of energy and nutrients in broiler chickens

“…In this experiment, increasing inclusion levels of DON-contaminated DDGS in diets decreased L* values of breast meat. Similar results were obtained by Foltyn et al. (2013) who reported that increasing inclusion levels of DDGS in diets decreased breast meat lightness.…”

Growth Performance and Carcass Quality in Broiler Chickens Fed on Legume Seeds and Rapeseed Meal

“…The effects of diet based on different sources of vegetable protein as an alternative to the popular SBM on the growth performance and quality of carcasses in broiler chickens have been investigated in many studies [31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

“…Another study [52] on the use of peas as a substitute for soybean meal did not show differences in meat traits or growth performance parameters. Laudadio and Tufarelli [34] concluded that WHC, which affects the loss of water from muscles, is an important parameter in defining the quality of meat. Studies by these authors showed that breast and leg muscles from chickens fed on a pea diet were characterized by a higher WHC (19.64% and 24.22%, respectively) as compared with birds fed on soybean meal (17.23% and 15.21%).…”

The effect of compound feed on the productivity of broiler chickens

“…The global community is in search of cheap unconventional feed products that would not be inferior in biological value to expensive protein feeds of animal and plant origin and could replace a part of the grain in the diet for the consumption of which poultry competes with humans [6][7][8][9][10][11]. One of the main tasks in the development of the poultry industry is the use of food industry waste and local non-traditional feed, as one of the ways to reduce production costs.…”
