Comparison of performance of finishing pigs fed diets containing different levels of distiller's dried grains with solubles

An abstract of a study by Uriarte et al determining the productive performance of pigs in finishing, using different percentages of distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in the diet (10, 15, and 20%) is presented. Feed:gain ratios (3.54 for CONT, 3.47 for DDG10, 3.74 for DDG15, and 6.24...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Uriarte et al determining the productive performance of pigs in finishing, using different percentages of distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in the diet (10, 15, and 20%) is presented. Feed:gain ratios (3.54 for CONT, 3.47 for DDG10, 3.74 for DDG15, and 6.24 for DDG20) were affected (P = 0.01) by these treatments. Given the results obtained, it is concluded that the 20% inclusion of DDGS in the diet of finishing pigs affects the productive performance of these animals.
