DDGS is rich in protein and moderately rich in fat.
One benefit of DDGS over cereal grains is that, as their energy is primarily provided as readily digestible fibre and fat, they have a propensity to alleviate incidence and severity of acidosis, laminitis and fatty liver caused by rumen starch fermentation.
As a rule, a maximum of 20% (diet DM) DDGS should be included in the ration.
DM % | 88% |
ME (MJME/kgDM) | 13 |
Crude Protein | 30% |
NDF | 29% |
Starch | 6% |
Crude Fat | 7% |
