“…The addition of 0.17 percent lysine in experiment 2 did not improve performance, indicating that the lysine in the DDGS must have been adequate and available. These data confirm the findings of Sloan (1940) that the protein of DDGS is not a satisfactory protein for growth. Data in Table 3 show the DDGS diet to be inferior to the NECC ration in weight gain, GPV, and NPV.…”

“…D'Ercole et al (1939) found that DDGS is a valuable source of thiamine and riboflavin. The most of the riboflavin in DDGS derive from the solubles fraction (Sloan, 1941). Also, DDGS have some biologically active substances such as mannan oligosaccharides, nucleotides, glutamine and nucleic acids, β-1, 3 or 1, 6 glucan, inositol which have a beneficial effect on animal health and its immune responses (Swiatkiewicz and Koreleski, 2008).…”

Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) as untraditional feedstuff has been available for feed industry for many years and became a nutritional and economical feed ingredient. According to recent studies, DDGS is usually used at low concentrations (10 or 15%) as a feed ingredient in laying hen diets without adverse effects on laying performance, feed utilization, nutrient digestibility, egg quality criteria and economics. Because DDGS became available in feed market in large amounts, the ability of using higher DDGS inclusion rate in poultry feed has become an interest for several researchers and poultry producers. Using such untraditional feedstuffs aims mainly to decrease the feed costs. Researchers assured that feeding higher levels of DDGS could have a significant effect on the cost of feed for poultry producers because of higher availability of DDGS and the current price fluctuations of feed ingredients. On the other hand, beneficial effects of DDGS on the environment have also been reported. These beneficial effects could be represented through mitigating harmful emissions and pollution from manure which provides production within clean atmosphere. Findings from different researches on the use of DDGS as feed ingredient for laying hens are illustrated in this review. Moreover, this study describes advanced information regarding the use of corn DDGS as untraditional feedstuff for laying hens involving its production process and nutritive value along with its useful effects on laying hens production traits, egg quality, apparent digestibility, economics and the impact on the surrounding environment in poultry house.

“…Crystalline riboflavin and concentrated forms of naturally-occurring riboflavin were shown by Bethke and Record (1942) to be equally effective in growth stimulation and protection against curled toe paralysis. In studies of the use of distillers' by-products in growing chick rations, Sloan (1941) compared the efficacy of distillers' dried grains and distillers' dried solubles with that of crystalline riboflavin, and in one of his experiments, the result from a single group, in which crystalline riboflavin replaced all the distillers' solubles and skimmilk, indicated that this substitution was acceptable for growing chicks up to four weeks of age. Recently, Clandinin et al (1943) have reported on the replacement by crystalline riboflavin of all the buttermilk powder (5 percent) in a chick starter ration, the result of which demonstrated that up to four weeks of age the chicks-grew equally well and were adequately protected against curled toe paralysis.…”
