Summary: There are concerns about using imported soybean meal to feed dairy cows in Europe, but wheat DDGS from European bioethanol production can be a suitable alternative. The inclusion level of European wheat DDGS in high-yielding dairy cow diets is crucial, with the results showing that an inclusion level of at least 22.5% is optimal. The study demonstrates that European wheat DDGS can effectively replace soybean meal in dairy cow diets at high inclusion levels.

Summary: This study utilized fractionation and enzymatic hydrolysis to improve oil recovery from dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS), achieving a significant increase in oil content without the need for changes in current ethanol plant design. The combination of cellulase and protease enzymes showed the highest oil recovery rate, indicating promise for increasing profits in ethanol plants operating on slim margins.

Summary: This study compared the effects of increasing the Trp:Lys ratio in diets containing DDGS and a DDGS withdrawal strategy on growth performance and carcass fat iodine value. The results showed that increasing the Trp:Lys ratio improved growth performance and carcass fat iodine value, while the DDGS withdrawal strategy reduced carcass fat iodine value and increased growth rate.

Summary: This study examined 16 DDGS samples from 10 ethanol plants in the Midwest U.S. and measured a series of physical and flowability properties using standard laboratory methods. Results showed various properties such as average moisture content, water activity, shear strength, bulk density, and color parameters. This research represents a step towards a more complete understanding of DDGS and how its properties change with evolving production practices in the ethanol industry.

Summary: In this study, the low moisture anhydrous ammonia (LMAA) pretreatment successfully decreased the lignin content in cellulosic materials, increased their alpha-cellulose percentage, and improved enzymatic digestibility for most of the materials tested. The moisture content of the materials was found to have a more significant effect than the incubation time.

Summary: The study successfully utilized corn and rice-based distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as low-cost substrates for the production of Sophorolipids (SLs), which exhibit excellent surface activity and antimicrobial properties, as well as stable performance under various conditions. This method significantly reduced production costs and shows potential for biomedical applications.

Summary: The bioprospects of condensed corn distillers solubles (CCDS) from novel selective milling technology were investigated in this study. Valued-added products such as mineral fraction (MF), protein fraction (PF), and solvent-extracted fraction (SEF) were obtained. The study found that CCDS has potential for nutritional purposes in the feed industry, with PF showing high amino acid content and potential bioactivity. Moreover, protein hydrolysates from PF exhibited antioxidant characteristics and inhibition against certain enzymes.

Summary: Pumpkin seed cake (PSC) can be a complete substitute for soybean meal in the diet of dairy cows without adverse effects on milk performance, rumen fermentation, or digestibility. Additionally, the inclusion of PSC in the diet resulted in improved antioxidant functions and blood parameters in dairy cows.

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the effects of heat treatment and heat treatment combined with citric acid on the nutrient digestibility of whole stillage for growing pigs. The results showed that heat treatment or heat treatment combined with citric acid improved the energy digestibility of the stillage, but reduced the digestibility of amino acids.

Summary: The study found that including 20% RF-DDGS in the diet of lactating dairy cows did not significantly alter the bacterial composition in the rumen and feces. This suggests that RF-DDGS can be a viable alternative protein source for high-producing dairy cows without adverse consequences on their microbiome within a short-term period.
