The abstract for a study testing the effects of low-oil corn DDGS inclusion in diets on carcass charcteristics. Increased inclusion decreased fat firmness, belly flexibility, and belly fat, but there was a difference between gilts and barrows. Gilts had increased hot carcass lean yield, cold carcass loin eye area, intramuscular fat, and belly flexibility. Barrows had increased hot carcass fat depth, leaf lard, cold carcass fat firmness, and belly fat when compared to gilts.
