“…In contrast, these authors found no effect of wheat DDGS (up to 23% of the diet, DM) on DMI in finishing cattle. Gibb et al (2008) observed a linear increase in DMI as wheat DDGS increased to 60% of the ration DM. These workers hypothesized that the increase in DMI was a compensatory response to a reduction in digestibility with increasing wheat DDGS as digestibility of the diet was reduced by 9.8% when wheat DDGS comprised 60% of diet DM.…”

“…Beliveau and McKinnon (2008) reported similar results for ADG and gain:feed for finishing cattle fed up to 23% wheat DDGS. Gibb et al (2008) found that DMI increased linearly with increasing levels of wheat DDGS in the diet (up to 60%) with no effect on ADG. As a result, these workers reported that gain:feed ratios decreased with increasing levels of wheat DDGS.…”

“…Beliveau and McKinnon (2008) found no effect on ADG, feed efficiency or DMI with the substitution of up to 23% wheat DDGS for rolled barley in the finishing rations. Gibb et al (2008) observed that finishing cattle fed wheat DDGS up to 60% of the diet had linear increases in DMI, similar ADG and subsequently poorer feed efficiency as wheat DDGS inclusion rate increased.With respect to carcass quality, cattle fed corn DDGS have been shown to have reduced marbling scores, particularly when fed at levels greater than 23% of the diet (Reinhardt et al 2007). Klopfenstein et al (2008) using meta analysis of several studies, reported a linear increase in yield grades and a trend for a linear decrease in marbling scores when corn DDGS comprised 40% of the diet DM.…”

. 2010. Evaluation of wheat or corn dried distillers' grains with solubles on performance and carcass characteristics of feedlot steers. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 90: 259Á269. A study was conducted on crossbred steers (n0275; 376924 kg) to evaluate performance and carcass quality of cattle fed wheat or corn dried distillers' grains with solubles (DDGS). The control ration contained 86.6% rolled barley grain, 5.7% supplement and 7.7% barley silage (DM basis). The four treatments included replacement of barley grain at 20 or 40% of the diet (DM basis) with wheat or corn DDGS. Steers were slaughtered at a common end weight of 645 kg with 100 steers randomly (n 020 per treatment) selected for determination of the retail yield of sub-primal boneless boxed beef (SPBBB). Data were analyzed as a completely randomized design using pen as the experimental unit. Feeding increasing levels of wheat DDGS led to a quadratic increase in dry matter intake (DMI) (PB0.01), whereas increasing levels of corn DDGS led to a quadratic decrease in DMI (P00.01). Average daily gain was not influenced (P00.13) by feeding wheat or corn DDGS, but cattle fed corn DDGS exhibited a quadratic increase (P00.01) in gain:feed. As a result, a quadratic increase (P B0.01) in calculated NE g of the diet was observed as corn DDGS levels increased. A linear decrease (P00.04) in days on feed (169, 166 and 154 d) was noted when increasing levels of wheat DDGS (0, 20 and 40%) were fed. Dressing percentage increased in a linear fashion with wheat DDGS (P B0.01) inclusion level and in a quadratic fashion (P 00.01) as corn DDGS inclusion level increased although other carcass traits were not affected (P0.10) by treatment. The results indicate that replacement of barley grain with corn or wheat DDGS up to 40% of the diet (DM) can lead to superior performance (improved gain:feed or reduced days on feed, respectively) with no detrimental effect on quality grade or carcass SPBBB yield.

“…products remaining after starch removed during bioethanol production) is becoming abundantly available and a lowercost source of energy in beef diets as whole grain prices increase (Dugan et al, 2010;He et al, 2012). Previous research demonstrated that partly replacing barley grain or silage with DDGS in feedlot diets have little or no impact on animal performance, carcass traits (Gibb et al, 2008) or meat quality (Aldai et al, 2010a) but enhances the deposition of healthful FA including 18:3n-3 (He et al, 2012), vaccenic and rumenic acids (Aldai et al, 2010b;Dugan et al, 2010). The objective of the current study was, therefore, to determine if finishing steers on diets containing SS in a RCS-based diet along with inclusion of DDGS could increase beef production and quality while maintaining high levels of healthful PUFA-BHP.…”

The current study compared beef production, quality and fatty acid (FA) profiles of yearling steers fed a control diet containing 70 : 30 red clover silage (RCS) : barley-based concentrate, a diet containing 11% sunflower seed (SS) substituted for barley, and diets containing SS with15% or 30% wheat dried distillers' grain with solubles (DDGS). Additions of DDGS were balanced by reductions in RCS and SS to maintain crude fat levels in diets. A total of two pens of eight animals were fed per diet for an average period of 208 days. Relative to the control diet, feeding the SS diet increased ( P < 0.05) average daily gain, final live weight and proportions of total n-6 FA, non-conjugated 18:2 biohydrogenation products (i.e. atypical dienes) with the first double bond at carbon 8 or 9 from the carboxyl end, conjugated linoleic acid isomers with the first double bond from carbon 7 to 10 from the carboxyl end, t-18:1 isomers, and reduced ( P < 0.05) the proportions of total n-3 FA, conjugated linolenic acids, branched-chain FA, odd-chain FA and 16:0. Feeding DDGS-15 and DDGS-30 diets v. the SS diet further increased ( P < 0.05) average daily gains, final live weight, carcass weight, hot dressing percentage, fat thickness, rib-eye muscle area, and improved instrumental and sensory panel meat tenderness. However, in general feeding DGGS-15 or DDGS-30 diets did not change FA proportions relative to feeding the SS diet. Overall, adding SS to a RCS-based diet enhanced muscle proportions of 18:2n-6 biohydrogenation products, and further substitutions of DDGS in the diet improved beef production, and quality while maintaining proportions of potentially functional bioactive FA including vaccenic and rumenic acids.
