“…Gurung et al (2009) [ 13 ] also reported similar findings in Kiko x Spanish male goats of 4–5 months of age fed with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% DDGS diets. Furthermore, in agreement with these research findings, Sorensen et al (2021) [ 15 ] also reported no effect on the carcass traits in Boer cross goats fed with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% DDGS levels. However, dressing percentage of goats observed (39–41%) in this experiment were less than reported by Dahmer et al (2022) [ 38 ] (47–48%), Gurung et al (2009) [ 13 ] (42–45%), and Sorensen et al (2020) [ 15 ] (49–50%) in male goats.…”

“…Similarly, in a recent paper by Dahmer et al (2022) [ 38 ], no difference was found for DMI of Boer goats when supplied with 33% DDGS compared to 0% DDGS. Sorensen et al (2021) [ 15 ] also reported no difference in the DMI when 0%, 33%, 66%, or 100% soybean meal was replaced by DDGS in finishing rations of Boer cross goats.…”

“…In contrast to this research, Dahmer et al (2022) [ 38 ] found a decrease in average daily gain when 33% DDGS was included in the diet of Boer kids for 21 days compared with 0% DDGS. However, Sorensen et al (2021) [ 15 ] found a linear increase in the average daily gain (0.19, 0.22, 0.22, and 0.28 g/day for 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% corn DDGS) with an increased DDGS inclusion in Boer cross goats of age 70 days for a trial for 47 days. In contrast with findings of this research, Sorensen et al (2021) [ 15 ] observed a difference ( p < 0.05) in the gain-to-feed ratio when Boer goat kids were fed 0% or 10% DDGS (0.18 and 0.19 for 0% and 10%, respectively) in comparison to kids fed with 20% or 30% DDGS (0.22 and 0.28 for 20% and 30%, respectively).…”

“…In another study, Gurung et al (2012) [ 14 ] found no adverse effect on digestibility and passage kinetics by including 38.1% DDGS in the diet of castrated male goats. Similarly, Sorensen et al (2021) [ 15 ] reported that 100% of the soybean meal (SBM) could be replaced from finishing goat diets with corn DDGS without any effect on growth performance and carcass characteristics [ 15 ]. Mjoun et al (2010) [ 16 ] found a similar milk production and dry matter intake (DMI) of a lactating cattle-feeding soybean-based diet with up to 30% reduced fat DDGS (3.5% EE) [ 16 ].…”

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) produced in the US are predominately low fat, as the economics favor separating as much oil as possible for sale as renewable diesel feedstock and also for use in swine and poultry feed. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of feeding different amounts of low-fat DDGS (LF-DDGS) on the growth performance, growth efficiency, rumen fermentation, blood metabolites, and carcass characteristics of Kiko crossbred wether goats. Twenty-four goats, 5–6 months of age, were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental diets (n = 6/diet), 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% LF-DDGS on an as-fed basis, and fed for 84 days. The data collected were analyzed using an orthogonal contrast test for equally spaced treatments. The average total gains, average daily gains, and gain-to-feed ratios were similar among the treatments (p > 0.05). The rumen acetate, propionate, and butyrate concentrations and the acetate:propionate ratios were similar (p > 0.05) among the treatments. There were no differences (p > 0.05) among the treatments for the dressing percentage, rib eye area, and backfat thickness. The findings suggest that at least up to 30% LF-DDGS can be included in the diets of castrated male goats without affecting the production performance and carcass characteristics.

“…Due to constraints of the research facility, the goats in the current experiment were only fed for 21 d, whereas in many previous studies, animals were fed for longer periods ( Hu et al, 2006 ; Solaiman et al, 2007 ; Sorensen et al, 2021 ). Therefore, this limited amount of time on feed could explain the lack of differences observed for carcass characteristics.…”

A total of 72 male Boer goat kids (21.7 ±0.5 kg) were fed for 21-d with 3 kids per pen and 12 pens per treatment. Dietary treatments were: 0% inclusion of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS; 0% DDGS); or 33% DDGS inclusion (33% DDGS) and were provided ad libitum. Goats and feeders were weighed weekly to collect body weights (BW) and determine feed disappearance in order to calculate average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and feed efficiency (G:F). At the conclusion of the feeding study, a subset (n = 30; 2-3 goats from each pen representing 6 pens per treatment) of goats were harvested, carcasses evaluated, and loins were fabricated into 2.54 cm chops. Goat chop discoloration was evaluated by trained panelists and measured for L*, a*, and b* values on d 0, 4, 7, and 10 under retail display conditions. Samples were collected and analyzed for lipid oxidation, fatty acid profile, and hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant capacity. No evidence of differences was observed for final BW, ADFI, G:F and carcass characteristics (P > 0.05). However, goats fed the 0% DDGS diet had greater ADG compared to those fed a diet containing 33% DDGS (P = 0.05). Overall, visual evaluation of discoloration, L*, a*, and b* as well as lipid oxidation data confirmed that feeding 33% DDGS to goats had no effect on goat chop discoloration and lipid oxidation (P > 0.10). However, all chops demonstrated a display effect, which they increased in visual discoloration and lipid oxidation and decreased in a* and b* values (P < 0.01) over the entirety of the 10-d period of retail display, regardless of the dietary treatments. As expected, feeding 33% DDGS to goats decreased relative percentage of multiple and total monounsaturated fatty acids, but increased relative percentage of multiple and total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; P < 0.05). The antioxidant capacity measurements showed no treatment difference in the hydrophilic portion (P > 0.10), but chops from the 33% DDGS treatment had greater lipophilic antioxidant activity compared to the 0% DDGS chops (P < 0.05). The supposed negative consequence from increased PUFA is likely counterbalanced by the increased antioxidant capacity in the lipid component of meat, resulting in no difference in meat shelf-life.
