Corn Dry Distiller Grains with Solubles (DDGS)
represent a large protein source
¨
Feedinfo News Service - 10/06/2011: ETHANOL NEAR 3-YEAR PEAK
Ethanol futures traded near 3-year highs, lifted by the strong rally in corn and oil prices. Roughly 40% of the
U.S. corn crop distilled into the biofuel.
• Fuel ethanol industry is the fastest growing sector
of American agriculture
• Minnesota has 17 ethanol plants
• Produces 1 billion gallons of ethanol with total
value of $5 billion
• DDGS represents about 20% of revenue
• Increased market penetration in animal feeds will
lead to increased revenue.
Guest Scientist from University of Minnesota
APC hosted Professor Jerry Shurson, a visiting
professor from UMN, St Paul, USA in May 2010.
Jerry is engaged in research with bio-fuel coproducts, such as distiller’s dried grains with soluble
(DDGS), in diets for pigs, poultry, and now for fish.
He works very closely with the U.S. Grains Council to
assess opportunities for DDGS.

Standard and processed
DDGS in diets for Rainbow trout
• Fish
– Rainbow trout, 140 g
– 76 days, 200% weight gain
• Diets (6)
High protein
Low protein
Control:
Typical plant ingredients + FM
HP-DDG, 50%: 50% of plant ingredients replaced by HP-DDG
HP-DDG, 100%: 100% of plant ingredients replaced by HP-DDG
Control:
Typical plant ingredients + FM
HP-DDG, 50%: 50% of plant ingredients replaced by DDGS
HP-DDG, 100%: 100% of plant ingredients replaced by DDGS
Preliminary results
• DDGS gave similar feed intake and weight gains compared to
the control
• Feed efficiency appeard to be improved with the addition of
DDGS to diets
• Processed DDGS gave similar feed intake, weight gain and
feed efficiency compared to the control
• DGGS looks promising in diets for rainbow trout
