Overview Part 2 Use of New Generation Corn DDGS in Feeds for Swine, Poultry, and Aquaculture Dr. Jerry Shurson Professor Dept. of Animal Science University of Minnesota Recommended maximum inclusion rates of new generation DDGS in swine diets Nursery feeding trial results Highlights of grow-finish feeding trial Highlights of gestation-lactation feeding trial Effects of DDGS and phytase on reducing dietary inorganic P supplementation and manure P levels Effects of feeding diets containing DDGS on manure gas and odor emissions U of M DDGS web site New corn distiller s feed ingredients Why is there so much interest in feeding DDGS to swine? New Generation DDGS is high in digestible nutrients Economical partial replacement for: corn soybean meal dicalcium phosphate Increasing production and supply Unique properties reduce P excretion in manure increase litter size weaned/sow gut health benefits? Maximum Inclusion Rates of New Generation DDGS in Swine Diets (Based Upon University of Minnesota Performance Trials) Nursery pigs (> 7 kg) Up to 25 % Grow-finish pigs Up to 2% (higher levels may reduce pork fat quality) Gestating sows Up to 5% Lactating sows Up to 2% Assumptions: no mycotoxins formulate on a digestible amino acid and available phosphorus basis Feeding New Generation DDGS to Weaned Pigs Materials and Methods Nursery Experiments Experiment 1 Pigs weaned at 19. ±.3 d of age Weighed 7.1 ±.7 kg Pigs weaned at 16.9 ±.4 d of age Weighed 5.26 ±.7 kg Pigs were fed a commercial pelleted diet (d to 3 postweaning) II (d 4-17) and III (d 18 35) diets were formulated on a digestible amino acid basis.

Does Feeding DDGS Improve Gut Health? What is Ileitis? Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy Caused by Lawsonia intracellularis Present in 96% of U.S. swine herds (Bane et al., 1997) 28% of pigs affected (NAHMS, 2) Can be shed in infected pigs for up to 1 weeks Animals are infected by oral contact with feces from animals shedding the bacteria 7-1 days after infection: Lesions of the intestinal wall begin to form Lesions maximized around 21 days post-infection Clinical Forms of Ileitis Porcine Intestinal Adenomatosis (PIA) Chronic form Seen in growing pigs (6-2 weeks of age) Decreased feed intake, lethargic Porcine Hemorrhagic Enteropathy (PHE) Acute form, affects heavier pigs Greatest frequency appears to be from 65 11 kg pigs Massive intestinal hemorrhaging, bloody diarrhea, increase in mortality
