Evaluating the impact of adding distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on broiler performance was the aim of the current experiment. A total of 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were obtained from a local hatchery and divided into four dietary treatments randomly. There were four replicates of each treatment, fifteen birds per replicate. In broiler diets, DDGS was added at percentages of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% DDGS. At day 42, one bird per replication was selected to examine blood biochemistry, carcass traits, and meat quality. The findings showed that the group of birds fed a 20% DDGS considerably (P<0.05) improved the growth performance and feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to the other groups. In addition, the birds fed DDGS basal diets were considerably (P<0.05) lower in total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL compared to the control. The inclusion of 30% DDGS led to decreased broiler performance and carcass yield. In conclusion, the DDGS can be fed to the broilers up to 20% without adverse effects on growth performance.
