Summary:

Dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS) has become a cost effective ingredient to add to feed, and contains fairly good energy, protein, lysine, and phosphorus values. However, the nutritional content is variable, which makes it harder to properly supply adequate energy to grower-finisher pigs. It has also been found to decreases carcass dressing percent, and decrease fat quality. The high linoleic acid of DDGS results in softer belly fat, and an increase in unsaturated fatty acids. This also increases the iodine value (IV), and each 1 point increase increases the feed costs by $0.30-1.10 per pig. DDGS can be fed at lower levels, or cut out of feed for the last few weeks during finishing to decrease the negative effect on dressing percent and the IV.
