“…According to Al-Suwaiegh et al [25] and Anderson et al [30], the percentage of protein and lactose in milk in cows fed DDGS is similar to those fed WDGS. The growth in milk production and the percentage of casein fraction after the inclusion of DDGS in the feed ration of milking cows in the early stages of lactation have been shown (Figure 3) [20].…”

Bioethanol is the product of fermentation of starch contained in renewable resources, such as corn, wheat, rye and rice. Depending on the technology used for its production, dried distillers decoction may exist in diferent forms: dried distillers grain (DDG); dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS) and high-protein dried distillers grains (HPDDG), as well as wet distillers grain (WDG), wet distillers grain with solubles (WDGS), and high-protein wet distillers grains HPWDG). Research conducted in recent years has demonstrated the possibilities of corn DDG as feed for livestock due to its high content of valuable protein, high caloriic value and bioelements. Distillers grain has been used as feed for beef and dairy catle, sheep, swine and poultry. In case of ruminants, it is important that distillers grain is foodstuf high in ruminal undegradable protein, with beneicial ibre content that does not cause rumen acidosis. DDGS has positive inluence on milk yield and its fat and protein content. Research on rumen fermentation has proven that DDGS positively afecs processes in forestomachs: methanogenesis, ammonia emission and volatile faty acids proile. Reprocessing of agri-food industry by-products may well be an alternative for traditional methods of feeding animals and utilizing valuable nutrients that they contain.

“…Al-Suwaiegh et al (2002) attributed 42% of the overall improvement in NE g content of the diets to the fat content of distillers grains. The authors suggested that the remaining 58% may be attributed to the additions of yeast and yeast byproducts, excess protein used for energy, added moisture, cofactors, differences in the non-fiber carbohydrate fraction, or a reduction in subacute acidosis.…”

ABSTRACT:Three experiments evaluated the lipids in distillers grains plus solubles compared with corn or other sources of lipid in finishing diets. Experiment 1 utilized 60 individually fed yearling heifers (349 ± 34 kg) fed treatments consisting of 0, 20, or 40% (DM basis) wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS), or 0, 2.5, or 5.0% (DM basis) corn oil in a finishing diet based on high-moisture corn (HMC) and dry-rolled corn (DRC). Cattle fed 20 and 40% WDGS had greater (P < 0.10) G:F than cattle fed 0% WDGS. Cattle fed the 5.0% corn oil had lower overall performance than cattle fed the other diets. Results from Exp. 1 indicated that adding fat from WDGS improves performance, whereas supplementing 5.0% corn oil depressed G:F, suggesting that the fat within WDGS is different than corn oil. Experiment 2 used 234 yearling steers (352 ± 16 kg) fed 1 of 5 treatments consisting of 20 or 40% (DM basis) dry distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS), 1.3% or 2.6% (DM basis) tallow, or HMC. All diets contained 20% (DM basis) wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) as a method of controlling acidosis. No differences between treatments for any performance parameters were observed in Exp. 2. The DDGS may be similar to tallow and HMC in finishing diets containing 20% WCGF. Experiment 3 used 5 Holstein steers equipped with ruminal and duodenal cannulas in a 5 5 Latin square design. Treatments were a 40% WDGS diet, 2 composites, one consisting of corn bran and corn gluten meal (COMP), and one consisting of corn bran, corn gluten meal, and corn oil (COMP + OIL), and 2 DRC-based diets supplemented with corn oil (CON + OIL) or not (CON). Cattle fed the WDGS diet had numerically lower rumen pH compared with cattle fed other treatments.Cattle fed WDGS had greater (P < 0.10) molar proportions of propionate, lower (P < 0.10) acetate:propionate ratios, greater (P < 0.10) total tract fat digestion, and a greater (P < 0.10) proportion of unsaturated fatty acids reaching the duodenum than cattle fed other treatments.Therefore, the higher energy value of WDGS compared with corn may be due to more Page 2 of 38 Journal of Animal Science 3 propionate production, higher fat digestibility, and more unsaturated fatty acids reaching the duodenum.

“…It has not been sufficiently investigated if all kinds of DDGS are equally applicable to RSM, rapeseed expellers or soyabean meal in rations of high-yielding dairy cows, especially when high proportions of DDGS are used. Investigations on the nutrient value of distillers dried grains mainly originate from the USA and therefore are predominately based on maize as the raw material (Palmquist and Conrad, 1982;Van Horn et al, 1985;Powers et al, 1995;Al-Suwaiegh et al, 2002;Anderson et al, 2006;Kleinschmit et al, 2007;Janicek et al, 2008). Only a few studies exist on the equivalent applicability of DDGs from wheat or wheat and barley in dairy cow feeding (Dunkel, 2005;Spiekers et al, 2006;Urdl et al, 2006;Ettle, 2007).…”

The aim of the present study was to assess if similar performances of high-yielding dairy cows can be achieved with a high proportion of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) consisting of 90% wheat and 10% barley compared with rapeseed oilmeal (RSM) in the diet. Of a total of 32 dairy cows, 16 were fed RSM as a protein source (16.5% of ration), the others DDGS. Equivalent high dry matter intakes, milk yield, milk fat percentage and milk lactose percentages were observed. Milk protein percentages were lower when DDGS was given. Milk fat, protein and lactose yields nonetheless showed no significant differences when RSM or DDGS were fed. Since similar performances were reached with DDGS and RSM, the tested DDGS can replace RSM as a protein source in the feed of high-yielding dairy cows up to the tested amount of 16.5% of the ration.
