“…Simeone et al ( 18 ) discovered that increasing the amount of dried-sorghum DG up to 300 g/kg (DM basis) in sorghum grain-based diets had no effect on the G:F ratio of cattle. The ADG (0.65–0.75 kg/d) and G:F (0.06–0.07) values in our study, on the other hand, were lower than those (ADG, 1.44–1.62 kg/d; G:F, 0.132–0.148) reported by Beretta et al ( 17 ). This could be because our study was conducted during the cold season (September to December), when low temperatures limit the rate and efficiency of beef cattle production ( 28 ).…”

“…Adding R1 and R2 had no significant effect ( p > 0.05) on the ADG, FBW, and G:F ratio of cattle compared to the control group, indicating that FMDG had no negative influence on growth performance. A similar observation was reported by Beretta et al ( 17 ), who found that adding dried-sorghum DG (0–450 g/kg) to cattle diets had no effect on the ADG, FBW, or G:F ratio compared to control diets (0% DG, DM basis). Simeone et al ( 18 ) discovered that increasing the amount of dried-sorghum DG up to 300 g/kg (DM basis) in sorghum grain-based diets had no effect on the G:F ratio of cattle.…”

The present study evaluated the effect of dietary supplementation with fermented-Moutai distillers' grain (FMDG) on the growth performance, meat quality, amino acid composition and blood metabolites of finishing cattle. Thirty cattle (2 years old; 237.55 ± 10.72 kg) were randomly assigned to one of three dietary supplementations: 0% FMDG (control), 15% FMDG (R1) and 30% FMDG (R2) [dry matter (DM) basis]. After 60 days, the inclusion of FMDG had no significant (p > 0.05) effects on the growth performance indices (dry matter intake, average daily gain and feed efficiency), meat quality (cooking yield, shear force, L*, a*, and b* values) or bovine blood biochemical indicators (except albumin and immunoglobulin A). Cattle fed R1 had the lowest (p = 0.001) loin eye area. Supplementation with FMDG significantly (p < 0.05) increased the beef contents of various amino acids (except isoleucine and arginine) compared with the control diet. Specifically, R2 significantly increased (p < 0.05) the total amino acid, essential amino acid, non-essential amino acid and umami amino acid contents in beef, while the difference in bitter amino acid content between different treatments was not significant (p = 0.165). These results suggest that it is feasible to include FMDG at up to 30% DM without affecting the growth performance, meat quality or blood metabolites of finishing cattle.

“…However, a higher carcass yield also depends on the BFT, a carcass trait that was similar between the two treatments in the present trial. Divergent results for the same carcass traits have been reported in the literature for feedlot-finished Hereford steers fed on diets containing 45% sorghum distiller grains [ 35 ], suggesting that the divergences between studies are due to the type of feed tested and the genotype.…”

Wet distiller grains (WDG) are a corn by-product rich in protein and fiber that can be used in feedlot diets. This study evaluated F1 Angus-Nellore bulls fed on a control diet vs. WDG (n = 25/treatment). After a period of 129 days on these feeds, the animals were slaughtered and Longissimus thoracis samples were collected for both a meat quality evaluation and gel-based proteomic analyses. A greater ribeye area (99.47 cm²) and higher carcass weight (333.6 kg) (p < 0.05) were observed in the WDG-finished cattle compared to the control (80.7 cm²; 306.3 kg). Furthermore, there were differences (p < 0.05) in the intramuscular fat between the WDG and control animals (IMF = 2.77 vs. 4.19%), which led to a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in saturated fatty acids (FA). However, no differences (p > 0.10) were observed in terms of tenderness, evaluated using Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF). The proteomic and bioinformatic analyses revealed substantial changes in the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components of the WDG-finished cattle compared to the control. Proteins related to a myriad of interconnected pathways, such as contractile and structural pathways, energy metabolism, oxidative stress and cell redox homeostasis, and transport and signaling. In this experiment, the use of WDG supplementation influenced the protein expression of several proteins, some of which are known biomarkers of beef quality (tenderness and color), as well as the protein–protein interactions that can act as the origins of increases in muscle growth and reductions in IMF deposition. However, despite the effects on the proteome, the tenderness, evaluated by WBSF, and fatty acid profile were not compromised by WDG supplementation.

“…DGs are developed in the following ways: being used as animal feed and for energy and biofuel generation. [4][5][6] Prolamins from DGs (PDGs) are a good and low-cost source of cereal prolamins, since the concentration of ethanol in the fermentation environment of liquor is not sufficient to dissolve PDGs, resulting in a large number of unutilized PDGs. 3 The low essential amino acid contents and unbalanced amino acid composition of PDGs mean that they are at a disadvantage in terms of nutritional value and food processing.…”

BackgroundDistiller's grains (DGs), which are rich in natural ingredients such as prolamins, are often used as low‐value feed or discarded directly, resulting in great environmental pollution and resources waste. Prolamins from distiller's grains (PDGs) was found to be a potential material to construct biopolymer films due to its highly film‐forming properties. In this study, extrusion processing was conducted to modify the physicochemical and structural properties of PDGs to facilitate the construction of biopolymer films with superior characteristics.ResultsResults indicated that extrusion led to the improved solubility (17.91% to 39.95%) and the increased disulfide bonds (1.46 umol/g to 6.13 umol/g) in PDGs. The total and sulfur amino acids contents of extruded PDGs were increased by 13.26% and 38.83%, respectively. New aggregation patterns were formed after extrusion according to the results of SEM, FTIR and XRD. Extrusion resulted in the reduced surface hydrophobicity of PDGs (10 972 to 3632), which could be also found sufficient evidences from structure analyses of PDGs. Finally, PDGs extruded at 110°C was found to facilitate the forming of biopolymer films with superior mechanical property, water resistance and thermal stability.ConclusionsPhysicochemical and structural properties of PDGs were effectively modified by extrusion processing, and extrusion modification of PDGs could be a great way to facilitate the construction of biopolymer films with superior characteristics. It could provide more possibilities to extend the applications of DGs to alleviate the problems of environmental pollution and resources waste.This article is protected by copyright.
