“…No significant effects due to DDGS levels were observed on digestibility coefficient values for crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract and nitrogen free extract (Shalash et al, 2010). Also, Ghazalah et al (2011) reported no significant variation among DDGS levels for dry matter, organic matter, ether extract and nitrogen free extract digestibilities, meanwhile there were significant differences (p#0.05) for crude fiber and crude protein digestibility. Authors revealed that the highest DDGS inclusion level (75% substitution for soybean meal) had the worst CP and CF digestibilities.…”

“…Pineda et al (2008) suggested that high inclusion levels of DDGS up to 69% had no effect on egg composition or Haugh units. Negative effect on shell thickness was observed by Ghazalah et al (2011) associated with increasing DDGS ratio in the diet. Furthermore, Masa'deh (2011) found no significant differences in Haugh units among the levels of DDGS.…”

“…Shalash et al (2009Shalash et al ( , 2010 and Ghazalah et al (2011) reported that inclusion of 20% DDGS in the laying hen diets yielded the worst feed conversion compared with the 0% DDGS (p<0.05). Deniz et al (2013) observed that feed conversion was negatively affected (p<0.001) by the inclusion of 20% of DDGS compared to other levels (0, 5, 10 and 15%).…”

“…The same authors added that serum triglycerides were not influenced by DDGS levels. Ghazalah et al (2011) stated that DDGS incorporation level at 75% instead of soybean meal significantly depressed total protein compared to the control group. Jiang et al (2013) concluded that increasing DDGS to 10 or 20% in laying hen diets significantly (p#0.05) increased P content in serum compared to 0% DDGS.…”

“…In the aforementioned studies, high quality DDGS turned out to be an economically viable feed ingredient in the Korean feed market, as an alternative feed stuff substituting corn and soybean meal. Furthermore, Ghazalah et al (2011) found that hens fed diet containing 50% DDGS substitution for soybean meal plus Avizyme supplementation was economically the best treatment which had economic and relative efficiency values of 0.50 and 116.32%, respectively. Also, Masa'deh (2011) found that feeding laying hens on 30% DDGS saved $31.16/ Mt and $28.58/Mt for phase I and II compared to the control group which received diets without DDGS.…”

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.

The objective of the current study was to examine the effect of the inclusion levels of distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) which partially and fully replaced soybean meal (SBM) in laying hen diets with or without enzyme or vitamin E supplementation on nutrients digestibility and excreted nitrogen and phosphorous. For these purposes, a total of 180 Hisex Brown laying hens at 22 weeks of age were randomly distributed into 15 treatment groups in a 5 × 3 factorial design experiment including five levels of DDGS (0, 5.5, 11, 16.5 and 22% replaced for the same percent of SBM which represents 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% respectively in the diet) and three levels of feed additives (without, 250 mg enzyme/kg diet or 200 mg vitamin E/kg diet) through 22-42 weeks of age. Results revealed that digestion coefficient values of nutrients including DM, OM, CP, EE, NFE and CF were more preferable in hens fed diets involved 25% DDGS instead of SBM than that of the control diet and other treatment groups. In contrast, hens fed 100% substitution of DDGS caused significant (P ≤ 0.01) decrease in digestibility coefficients of all nutrients. The amount of daily excreted N was decreased in hens fed 25 or 50% DDGS substitution, whilst feeding 75 or 100% DDGS led to an elevation in N excretion. The proportion of excreted phosphorous was statistically (P ≤ 0.01) decreased as the level of DDGS increased. Generally, neither enzyme nor vitamin E supplementation had any significant effect on the studied parameters. It could be concluded that DDGS could be used up to 50% as a replacement of SBM (11% of the diet) without any adverse effects on nutrients digestibility. Laying hen farms using DDGS up to 25 or 50% substituted for SBM in its diets (5.5 or 11% of the diet) will have clearer environment of nitrogen and phosphorous pollution than others whose diets free of DDGS.
