Abstract

To better use distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) for non-ruminants, some of the fiber may be removed. The "elusieve" process removes approximately 10% of DDGS material, mostly fiber, yielding enhanced DDGS (E-DDGS). An experiment was conducted to compare the DE and ME in E-DDGS to those in DDGS when fed to growing and finishing pigs. Overall, E-DDGS has greater DE, ME and MEn than DDGS.
