Recently at a seminar entitled "DDGS and CGM use in poultry nutrition" held by the US Grains Council (USGC) in Jakarta, Dr William Dozier, associate professor at the department of Poultry Science, Auburn University, Alabama ,USA, discussed the use of DDGS in poultry feed.
According to Dozier, energy, protein and phosphorus are the three expensive nutrients in poultry feed. "And DDGS (Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles) contain the three nutrients, so that DDGS can be used as a substitute for corn and soybean meal in poultry feed," he said.
The advantages of using DDGS, Dozier said, are that DDGS may reduce feed costs, improve the colour of egg yolk, provide linolenic fatty acids, and lower levels of ammonia in faeces.
Still on DDGS, Eric Woodie, senior merchandiser of Trans Coastal Supply Company, said that there was no standard of quality in the purchase contract of DDGS. So far the suppliers and users of DDGS use protein and fat as a benchmark. The benchmark for fat is about 35% - 36%, protein minimum 26%, moisture maximum 12% and for crude fibre a maximum 10%.
CGM (Corn Gluten Meal) was covered by the USGC technical consultant for Southeast Asia, Dr Budi Tangendjaja. He explained that CGM is a byproduct of the wet milling of corn production. CGM contains protein and high energy. In addition, CGM contains about 200 ppm xantophyl that can help chicken pigmentation.
"CGM is ranked 8th for feed materials that are widely used in the world. While in Southeast Asia, CGM is ranked 3rd after soybean meal and DDGS," added Tangendjaja.
