TL;DRAbstract

A total of 1,215 pigs (initially 65.2 lb) were used in a 99-d study to determine the effects of deoiled corn dried distillers grains with solubles, solvent extracted (dDGS) on growing and finishing pig growth performance, carcass characteristics, and carcass fat quality. Pigs were blocked on the basis of pen weight and randomly allotted to 1 of 5 dietary treatments containing either 0, 5, 10, 20, or 30% dDGS. Pigs were fed in 4 phases; all dietary treatments were formulated to similar dietary ME and standardized ileal digestible (SID) lysine concentrations within each phase. Choice white grease (CWG) was included at increasing amounts as dDGS increased in the diet to maintain uniform dietary ME. Overall (d 0 to 99), ADG and ADFI decreased (linear, P < 0.01) with increasing dDGS in the diet. This reduction was especially pronounced when pigs were fed more than 20% dDGS. However, there was no difference in F/G (P > 0.12) for pigs fed increasing dDGS. For carcass characteristics, carcass
