Using lysine estimates to detect heat damage in DDGS

Monday, January 14, 2013 - 11:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are a good source of energy and protein in swine diets. However, they can be damaged by excessive heat during processing, compromising their nutritional value. University of Illinois researchers have found that it is possible to assess heat damage by predicting the digestibility of lysine in DDGS.
