Abstract: 【Objective】 To explore the utilization of energy,protein and amino acid of the corn DDGS from 5 regions for Cherry Valley male ducks.【Method】 Ninety-eight healthy Cherry Valley male ducks with a body weight of 3.25 kg±0.25 kg at 18 weeks of age were cultivated in metabolic cages,one duck one cage.They were randomly divided into 7 groups comprised of 14 individuals and 1 per replicate.The ducks in 5 experimental groups were fed the diets with corn DDGS and corn starch at a ratio of 7∶3,and the DDGS were sourced from Jilin,the United States (crude),the United States (fine),Shandong and Liaoning,respectively.The ducks in corn starch group were fed on the 100% corn starch diet,while in endogenous group was fed nothing.According to the process of force-feeding,both force-feeding test and metabolic test were carried out,with all the excrement collected.Moreover,gross energy (GE),crude protein (CP) and the amino acid content of force-feeding feed and excreta were determined.【Result】 The CP content of corn DDGS sourced from Liaoning was significantly lower compared to the other 4 experimental groups (P＜0.05),while the CP content of crude and fine corn DDGS sourced from the United States was significantly lower relative to the Jilin group (P＜0.05).The GE of DDGS from the United States (crude) was significantly lower compared to the other 4 experimental groups (P＜0.05).The apparently available protein and truly available protein in the United States (fine) and Liaoning groups were significantly higher than those from the United States (crude) and Shandong groups (P＜0.05).The apparently metabolizable energy and truly metabolizable energy in the United States (crude) and Liaoning groups were significantly higher than in Jilin and Shandong groups (P＜0.05).The true availability of threonine,glycine,histidine,arginine,branch chain amino acid,phenylalanine and tyrosine of corn DDGS from Liaoning was significantly higher compared to the other 4 experimental groups (P＜0.05),and the true availability rates of proline,aspartic acid,serine,glutamic acid and alanine were the highest.【Conclusion】 There were significant differences observed in nutritional composition,energy,protein and amino acid utilization of corn DDGS among 5 different regions.The utilization of energy,protein and amino acid by Cherry Valley male ducks was in the following order:Liaoning ＞ United States (fine)＞United States (crude)＞Jilin＞Shandong.The crude protein content of corn DDGS in five different regions was ranked as Shandong＞Jilin＞United States (crude)＞United States(fine)＞Liaoning.
