“…The highest non-significant and significant values for milk fat % and yield (g/day) , respectively were recorded by R3 and R4 rations, compared with R2 and control ration. The present results were in line with Westreicher-Kristen et al(2014) and Soliman et al(2013) they reported that milk fat % was improved with adding different levels of DDGS in dairy cows rations . They explained such effect by the nature of fat in DDGS, especially corn DDGS which is quite unsaturated with typically more than 60 % linoleic acid.…”

Twenty lactating Zaraibi goats in 2 nd-3 rd season of lactation and average live body weight of 37.5±0.41 kg were used to determine the effects of inclusion (partially or totally) three levels of distiller dried grains with soluble (DDGS) instead of undecorticated cotton seed meal (CSM) and small part of yellow corn on their productive performance. The experimental period lasted for 98 days, started after 3 months of suckling and weaning of kids. Goats were randomly assigned into four groups (5 goats each). Animals were fed according to NRC (1981) recommendations, since 50% of the total protein requirements were covered from whole corn silage (WCS) and the other 50% were assigned at rations to receive the following formulated concentrate feed mixtures : R1 concentrate feed mixture (0.0% DDGS, CFM1) control ration, R2 (8% DDGS, CFM2) , R3(16% DDGS , CFM3) and R4 (24% DDGS, CFM4) to formulate approximately four isonitrogenious and isocaloric rations. Results showed that nutrient digestibility coefficients and nutritive values in terms of TDN, DCP % , DE and ME (MJ/ kg DM) were significantly (P<0.05) improved gradually by adding DDGS levels to the tested rations. Inclusion DDGS at higher level in R3 and R4 rations lowered (P<0.05) ruminal pH values at all the sampling times. Ruminal ammonia-N concentrations were significantly higher (P<0.05) with DDGS rations than the control one. Increasing level of DDGS improved average daily milk yield (ADMY) and its composition. The highest ADMY was recorded with R4 followed by R3 rations, while R1 recorded the lowest value. Milk fat and protein% were the highest for groups fed R3 and R4. Milk total solids% improved with increasing DDGS levels. The economic efficiency (EE) values cleared that DDGS rations (R3 and R4) reflected superiority over the control ration by approximately 10.9 and 23.5% for 16 and 24% DDGS levels, respectively. The obtained EE values in the control and R2 rations were nearly similar (1.19 vs 1.21). From the nutritional and economical point of view the use of R4 (24% DDGS) to replace up to 100% of CSM in lactating goats rations could be recommended to improve goats performance and economic efficiency.

“…They were randomly assigned to the treatment groups and received diets containing decreasing amounts of chopped hay (grass of second cut; 85%, 70%, 55% and 40%) at the expense of increasing amounts of GP (15%, 30%, 45% and 60%). Thereby, the linearity of digestibility response of the test diets at different supplementation levels could be illustrated by using linear regression analysis (Westreicher-Kristen et al 2013). Additionally, during the adaptation period and between the three trials each sheep received a vitamin and mineral mixture (VitaMira ® Schaf Kristall Plus, BayWa AG, Offenbach, Germany) in an amount of 10 g per sheep and day sufficient to meet the recommendations of GfE (1978).…”

The present study aimed to determine the nutrient and energy content of fresh and ensiled grape pomace (GP) from different grape varieties originating from Germany, and to estimate the feed value of dried white, dried red and ensiled white GP by calculating nutrient digestibility and the content of metabolisable energy (ME) and net energy lactation (NEL) measured in sheep as a ruminant model. GP from red cultivars had higher contents of organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fibre (CF), total phenolic contents (TPC) and ME, whereas the concentrations of ash and sugar were lower than from white cultivars. Compared with untreated GP, ensiled GP had increased concentrations of CP (+19%), ether extract (EE; +23%) and CF (+12%) and a higher ME content (+7%) and markedly decreased concentrations of sugar (-99.6%) and TPC (-48%). The concentrations of dry matter, OM and ash were not different between ensiled and fresh GP. Compared with dried GP, ensiled GP had a higher nutrient digestibility (OM, +32%; CP, +43%; CF, +46%; neutral detergent fibre [NDF], +54%; acid detergent fibre [ADF], +69%) and higher energy values (ME, +16%; NEL, +19%). The digestibility of OM, CP, EE and CF and the energy content were higher for dried red than for dried white GP, whereas the digestibility of NDFOM and ADFOM was lower for dried red than dried white GP. In conclusion, the results show that both red and white GP are suitable dietary sources for enrichment with TPC. Furthermore, compared with drying ensiling of GP improves the feeding value of GP and is a good possibility of preserving the seasonally produced by-product of winemaking for ruminant feeding.

“…Research concerning sheep rumen fermentation influenced by DDGS addition is limited , Radev 2012). However, previous studies showed that DDGS affects blood parameters in sheep, milk production in ewes, and rearing parameters in lambs (Dimova et al 2009, Radunz et al 2011, Ş ahin et al 2013, Westreicher-Kristen et al 2014.…”

The aim of the in vitro study was to determine the effect of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (corn DDGS), used as a replacement for the concentrate ingredients of sheep diet, on rumen fermentation. The material for the study was the ruminal fluid of Polish Merino sheep which was incubated during 4-, 8-or 24-hour periods. Five groups of samples were prepared for in vitro fermentation: C -control, incubated with the substrate consisting of the concentrate ingredients; D1, D2 and D3, where DDGS was used as a substrate added in proportions of 10, 20 and 30% of dry matter of the concentrate; and D4, where 100% DDGS was used as a substrate. After fermentation, the gas and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) analyses were performed using gas chromatography. The ammonia concentration and pH were also determined, and the SCFA utilization index (NGR), the fermentation efficiency (FE) and the index of cell yield of ruminal microorganisms (CY) were calculated. This research showed no effect of DDGS on the methane emission. The positive correlations between the amount of methane and ammonia concentrations in the 8-and 24-hour fermentation periods were found. DDGS addition increased propionate proportion, but decreased production of acetate (p<0.01). Additionally, D1, D2, D3 and D4 substrates lowered isobutyrate (p<0.05) and isovalerate (p<0.01) production. Based on the results obtained, it can be stated that partial substitution of the concentrate ingredients with DDGS did not have deleterious effect on sheep rumen fermentation processes.
