Nutritious DDGS 26% for Livestock&Poultry

Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles(DDGS) dosage recommendations:

1. Cattle (Dairy and Beef)

• Dairy Cows:
  Corn Distillers Grain can constitute 10-20% of the total ration dry matter. It provides protein, energy, and digestible fiber, making it ideal for milk production. High-fat DDGS may need to be limited to avoid exceeding energy requirements.
  
  

• Beef Cattle:
  Inclusion rates range from 15-25% of the diet for finishing cattle. /Feed Additives DDGS 26% provides a rich source of protein and energy, reducing the need for additional supplements. Excessive inclusion should be avoided to maintain rumen health.

2. Swine (Growers, Finishers, and Sows)

• Growers/Finishers:
  Feed Grade DDGS 26% can be included at 10-30% of the total diet, depending on the growth stage. Higher inclusion rates require amino acid balancing (e.g., lysine) to optimize growth and feed efficiency.
  
  

• Sows:
  For gestating and lactating sows, the recommended inclusion rate is 10-20%. Proper amino acid balance is essential to avoid deficiencies and maintain reproductive performance.

3. Poultry (Broilers, Layers, and Turkeys)

• Broilers:
  Inclusion rates are typically 5-10% of the total diet. While DDGS provides protein and energy, higher levels may require careful nutrient balancing, especially for amino acids like methionine and lysine.
  
  

• Layers:
  DDGS can make up 10-15% of the diet to support egg production. It provides essential nutrients while reducing feed costs.
  
  

• Turkeys:
  DDGS can be included at 5-10% of the diet, depending on the growth phase. Nutrient adjustments may be needed to ensure optimal performance.

4. Other Livestock (Goats, Sheep, etc.)

• DDGS is suitable for ruminants like goats and sheep at 10-15% of the diet.
  
  
• It provides high-quality protein and energy but should be limited in high-fat forms to avoid digestive issues.

Summary of Recommended Inclusion Rates

By following these inclusion rates and ensuring proper nutritional balancing, DDGS 26% can enhance feed efficiency, support animal growth, and reduce overall feeding costs. Always consult a nutritionist or veterinarian for species-specific recommendations.
