Pig performance, carcass quality and palatiability of pork from pigs fed distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), high-protein distillers dried grains (HPDDG), and corn germ was investigated. 84 pigs were allotted to 7 dietary treatments. Diets were fed for 114 days in a 3-phase program. The control treatment was based on corn and soybean meal. It was concluded that feeding 20% DDGS or high levels of HPDDG to growing-finishing pigs did not have a negative effect overall. However, it may decrease fat quality. Feeding up to 10% corn germ did not have a negative affect but increased the final weight of the pigs and reduced the iodine value of belly fat.
