Finishing pig performance and diet digestibility when offering diets with up to 300 g/kg of wheat or maize Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS)

摘要

Dried distillers grains with soluble (DDGS) have become a common feed ingredient in pig diets, especially in the US due to the large bio ethanol industry that has evolved there in recent years. Whilst maize is a common feed stock for the EU bio ethanol plants, as in the USA, wheat is also commonly used. As such both wheat and maize DDGS are available to European feed manufactures. However, knowledge on the nutritive value of wheat DDGS is scarce compared to maize DDGS and comparisons between the twoare uncommon. This trial aimed to compare pig performance and diet digestibility using increasing levels of wheat and maize DDGS.
