Investigation of the effect of dietary DDGS supplementation on compound feed costs and broiler performance and carcass parameters
Abstract
Bioethanol
is derived as a result of fermentation of starch in cereals such as wheat, barley
and rye, especially corn. At the end of the
process, a raw material with higher levels of protein, fat, cellulose and
minerals, called dried distillation grain soluble (DDGS), is obtained. Depending on the composition and costs of
nutrients, the use of DDGS, especially from corn, in compound feeds is
gradually increasing. The aim of this study was to investigate the graded
dietary supplementation of corn DDGS on broiler performance and carcass
characteristics during starter (0 and 3%), grower (0, 3 and 6%) and finisher (0,
3, 6, 9 and 12%) periods. A total of 280 one-day-old male broiler chickens were
randomly assigned to 5 different treatments, with 7 replicates including 8
birds each. When the starting, growing and finishing periods were taken into
consideration, it was seen that increasing DDGS usage in diets had no negative
effect on live weight, live weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio.
Birds supplemented with an increasing level of DDGS showed increase in wing
weight and wing percentage. However, apart from this observed difference, no
significant difference was observed in other carcass parameters and organ
weights. When compound feed costs were examined, it was observed that graded
dietary DDGS usage decreased the costs of the starter, grower and finisher
diets. It was found that the addition of DDGS (3%, 6% and 12% to starter,
grower and finisher diets, respectively) was well tolerated. It has been concluded
that the use of DDGS in diets can provide price advantage and reduce the cost
of compound feed production without any negative effect on broiler performance,
especially in case of high prices of whole-fat soybean and soybean meal.
