DDGS (Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles) is a source of protein, energy and available phosphorous to swine diets and will replace a portion of the grain, protein source(s) and supplemental phosphorous. It is important to remember that that DDGS products are still evolving, which emphasizes the importance of knowing the source you are using as it is likely a much different product than sources produced from older generation plants 3-5 years ago. In corn DDGS, the crude protein can range from 22 to 32%, while total lysine ranges from 0.40 to 0.99%, whereas in the wheat-based DDGS, the crude protein ranges 23 to 37%, while total lysine ranges from 0.49 to 0.94% (Payne 2007). Typical levels of the most important nutritional components of corn and wheat DDGS are shown in Table 1 and compared with the levels in corn and wheat.
