Corn Dry Distiller Grains with Solubles (DDGS) represent a large protein source ¨ Feedinfo News Service - 10/06/2011: ETHANOL NEAR 3-YEAR PEAK Ethanolfuturestradednear 3-year highs, lifted by thestrong rally in corn and oilprices. Roughly 40% of the U.S. corncropdistilledintothe biofuel. • Fuel ethanol industry is the fastest growing sector • of American agriculture • Minnesota has 17 ethanol plants • Produces 1 billion gallons of ethanol with total • value of $5 billion • DDGS represents about 20% of revenue • Increased market penetration in animal feeds will • lead to increased revenue.
Guest Scientist from University of Minnesota APC hosted Professor Jerry Shurson, a visiting professor from UMN, St Paul, USA in May 2010. Jerry is engaged in research with bio-fuel co-products, such as distiller’s dried grains with soluble (DDGS), in diets for pigs, poultry, and now for fish. He works very closely with the U.S. Grains Council to assess opportunities for DDGS. Dr. Gerald (Jerry) Shurson, University of Minnesota
Diets (6) Control: Typical plant ingredients + FM HP-DDG, 50%: 50% of plant ingredients replaced by HP-DDG HP-DDG, 100%: 100% of plant ingredients replaced by HP-DDG Control: Typical plant ingredients + FM HP-DDG, 50%: 50% of plant ingredients replaced by DDGS HP-DDG, 100%: 100% of plant ingredients replaced by DDGS Standard and processedDDGS in diets for Rainbow trout • Fish • Rainbow trout, 140 g • 76 days, 200% weightgain High protein Low protein
Preliminary results • DDGS gave similar feed intake and weight gains compared to • the control • Feed efficiency appeard to be improved with the addition of • DDGS to diets • Processed DDGS gave similar feed intake, weight gain and • feed efficiency compared to the control • DGGS looks promising in diets for rainbow trout
