Nutritionists and producers already recognize DDGS as an abundant and nutritious ingredient that can be fed to all species of livestock. Furthermore, ethanol producers continue to improve practices, which result in positive changes in nutritional characteristics of DDGS. Accurately characterizing and identifying unique DDGS features from different sources will help nutritionists successfully incorporate it in diet formulations and capture additional economic value.

This webinar will provide updates on DDGS research related to dairy production as well as an industry perspective on how better DDGS nutrient characterization benefits formulation strategies for all species.

 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Latest research on DDGS as well as differences in nutritional profile among different sources

  • Insights into new measurements of DDGS quality including fiber, fat and amino acid digestibility

  • How we can apply current research to capitalize on economic advantages of feeding DDGS

 

This webinar is sponsored by POET Nutrition, and is presented by WATT Global Media
