Overview

Observational analysis increased feed intake and digestibility in young Nellore bulls, suggesting ethanol byproducts may enhance growth.

Key Points

  • Inclusion of 30% DDGS improved dry matter intake and nutrient digestibility compared to control.
  • Animals fed DDGS showed higher average daily gain and feed conversion efficiency than those on CON or DFS diets.
  • Dry distillers grains plus solubles provided the highest metabolizable protein supply among the treatments.
  • Trends in serum indicators like urea and albumin were noted, indicating potential metabolic effects of the diets.
