“…In Europe the assessment of the nutritive value of DDGS is still under way. DDGS have high feeding values due to their abundance in certain nutritive components and can replace rapeseed meal or soyabean meal as a protein source in diets for dairy cows or growing fattening bulls (Sasikala-Appukuttan et al, 2008;Franke et al, 2009;Meyer et al, 2010). There are many factors that are responsible for the variability in chemical composition and nutritional value of DDGS.…”

In this study, different types of cereal grains (maize, wheat, triticale), and their respective distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS: DDGSM, DDGSW, DDGST) were used. Their effects on parameters expressing nutritional value for ruminants were assessed. The chemical composition of the DDGS was significantly differed (P<0.01), similarly as that of the cereal grains. The DDGS from maize was the highest in fat ( kg -1 DM). The DDGS were three times higher in PDIN values than the original grains (P<0.01). DDGSM had lower in situ effective CP degradability (46.5%) than DDGSW (58.5%) and DDGST (76.8%), but the highest and most stable intestinal digestibility (ID) of rumen undegraded CP (94.3%). The most variable intestinal digestibility was found in DDGSW samples (79.6%-92.2%). The acid detergent insoluble CP (ADICP) content (% from total CP) was significantly higher in wheat and triticale DDGS than in the original grains. There were significant plant effects on fat, ME, NEV, ADICP (P<0.01), ADF, and NADIP (P<0.05). We can conclude that all types of DDGS are a good source of CP and energy for ruminants.

“…Up until now, cardoon forage and meal have been used in small ruminant feeding due to their high fiber content (approximately 58% in neutral detergent fiber (NDF)) and also thanks to the rumen microbiota efficiency in catabolizing cellulose [ 18 , 19 ]. The use of by-products from the production of biodiesel and bioethanol (distillate based on wheat and barley dry cereals and rapeseed meal) on the performance of growing fattening bulls has already been reported [ 20 ], while no information about cardoon by-products’ inclusion in beef cattle feeding and its related effects in meat quality is currently available. Due to its high content in protein and essential fatty acids, it could be interesting to test the partial substitution of meal (SM) with cardoon meal (CM) in beef cattle feeding [ 21 ].…”

Soybean meal is the most important protein source in beef cattle feeding. The research of alternative protein sources to replace soy use, avoiding negative effects on in vivo performance and on the product’s quality, is an important issue. In this context, cardoon represents a non-OGM resilient crop that can be cultivated in marginal lands for extracting its seed oil (utilized for biodiesel and biodegradable bioplastic production) and whose and the residual meal from its seed oil (utilized for biodiesel and biodegradable bioplastic production) could be a suitable by-product for animal feeding, due to its fairly high protein content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using cardoon meal as an innovative protein source during the Limousine bulls’ fattening period. Thirty-two bulls were divided into two groups and fed with a diet containing soybean meal (SG) or partially replacing soybean meal with cardoon meal as a protein source (CG), respectively. The feeding trial lasted about 11 months. Growth performances and meat physical–chemical traits were evaluated. No statistical differences in feed efficiency, average daily gain, or in the main meat quality indicators, as well as in fatty acid profiles were found among the groups. Therefore, cardoon meal could be considered as an alternative to soybean meal in fattening Limousine bulls in order to enhance the sustainability of the farming system.

“…Corn germ is separated, dried, and sent to a germ plant for extraction of the corn oil. After the oil is extracted, the remaining feed by-product is called corn germ meal (CGM), which used as an energy source in animal nutrition (Meyer et al 2010;Stock et al 2000). DDGS and CGM have been recognized as an excellent source of energy due to their high concentration of Xu Jun, Tel: 18252719595.…”

This study was carried out to determine the effect of replacement of forage fiber sources from alfalfa and Leymus chinensis with nonforage fiber sources (NFFS) from dried distillers grains with solubles and corn germ meal on calves growth, rumen development and blood parameters. Forty eight female and twelve male calves (110.55±15.36) kg of body weight and 12 weeks of age) were assigned randomly to four dietary treatments (15 calves/treatment) in a completely randomized design. Experimental diets were: 0% NFFS (control), 9% NFFS (group 1), 18% NFFS (group 2), 27% NFFS (group 3), and contained equivalent neutral detergent fiber and total digestible nutrients, respectively. The dry matter intake was similar among diets, averaging 3.33 kg d-1 , and no differences were detected for body weight, withers height, body length, and heart girth. In addition, the development of rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum also were similar among diets. Dry matter, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber digestibilities increased with the increasing levels of NFFS in the experimental diets, but had no significant effect. Blood urea nitrogen, total protein, and glubulin were not affected by the dietary treatment, but group 3 resulted in the highest (P<0.05) concentrations of glucose and lowest (P<0.05) concentrations of triglycerides and albumin. In conclusion, DDGS and CGM were available and alternative fiber sources for Holstein calf diets.
