Abstract:

Corn distillers dried grains with soluble (corn DDGS) is a co-product produced by dry mill ethanol plant. It’s a valuable source of crude protein, fat, available phosphorus and vitamin for swine. Recent years, with the development of processing technology, the quantity and quality of corn DDGS increases and has increasingly been included in swine diets. However, the high fat content in corn DDGS, especially unsaturated fatty acid, has detrimental effect on pork quality, especially fat quality and fatty acid composition in growing-finishing pigs. The paper reviews the nutritional value of corn DDGS and effect of corn DDGS supplementation on pork quality.

Key words: corn DDGS; growing-finishing pigs; nutritional value; pork quality
