Use
Inclusion limit
Broilers: efficient below 20%; optimal 6% in starters and 12-15% in growers/finishers, up to 20% or more for good-quality (light) DDGS with balanced digestible lysine [E-S11]. Pigs: 20% recommended for piglets, growing-finishing pigs and lactating sows; up to 50% for gestating sows [E-S11].
Mycotoxins concentrated about 3-fold vs the original grain: test [E-S11]. High sulphate (0.5-1.7% DM) from sulphuric acid: risk of sulphur toxicity and polioencephalomalacia in ruminants [E-S11]. Very variable composition (oil 2-15%) [E-S11]. Dark (heat-damaged) DDGS gave lower growth [E-S11]. Unsaturated fat may restrict ruminant inclusion [E-S11].
