Summary: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the suitability of corn DDGS as a protein source for European catfish. The results showed that corn DDGS is a beneficial protein source for European catfish and 30% DDGS can be included in their diet without compromising growth performance and nutrient utilization.

Summary: Aquaculture requires new, economical, and eco-friendly protein sources to replace traditional fisheries and plant ingredients. Using agriculture by-products as protein sources would reduce land-based feed production pressure and waste production, promoting a circular economy and sustainable aquaculture.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that xylanase and beta-glucanase (XB) can enhance nutrient digestibility in Nile tilapia fed on fiber-rich diets. This study aimed to investigate the effects of XB supplementation on growth performance, digestive enzymes activity, and apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) in juvenile Nile tilapia fed diets containing corn distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS). The results showed that XB supplementation improved feed efficiency, energy retention efficiency, and digestive enzyme activity in fish. The inclusion of DDGS in the diets also improved body weight gain and ADC of crude lipids. Overall, XB supplementation effectively improved the digestion and growth performance of juvenile Nile tilapia.

Summary: Metabolism and digestibility trials were conducted on broiler chickens to determine the nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of high-protein dried distillers' grains and corn bran with solubles. The results showed that the AMEn values for high-protein dried distillers' grains and corn bran with solubles were 3,334 kcal/kg and 2,083 kcal/kg, respectively. The SIAAD values and digestible concentrations varied for different amino acids in both feed ingredients.

Summary: A comparative feeding trial and digestibility determination were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of a high-protein distiller's dried grains with solubles (HP-DDGS) as a feed ingredient for Nile tilapia. The results showed that this high-protein DDGS can be used as a protein source to replace soybean meal and fishmeal in the diet for Nile tilapia.

Summary: The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of adding an enzyme complex to diets with different levels of DDGS on the performance and nutrient utilization of broiler chickens. The inclusion of DDGS decreased the performance of the chickens, but a DDGS inclusion level of up to 8% improved carcass percentage. The addition of the enzyme complex improved feed conversion ratio.

Summary: Dynamic thermogravimetric analysis is used to study the thermal devolatilization of dry distiller's grain with solubles, revealing a wider temperature range and slower rates compared to lignocellulosic biomass. The complex dynamics are attributed to a peculiar chemical composition of proteins, starch, and other minor components in addition to lignocellulose. The activation energies estimated invariant with the heating rate fall between values obtained under oxidative environments and those typically estimated for wood.

Summary: This study examined the use of different fungal strains and their co-cultures to ferment corn wet distiller's grains with solubles (WDGS) in order to improve its nutritional value. The co-culture of cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei (TR) and Rizopus oryzae (RO) showed the most balanced amino acid composition, reduced phytate, and lower levels of mycotoxins. However, the addition of Mucor indicus (MI) increased one mycotoxin while decreasing another. The co-culture of TR+MI and TR+RO after 3 days of fermentation showed the highest improvement in amino acid content, while monoculture of TR had higher in vitro digestibility. Overall, the co-culture of TR+RO and monoculture of TR were effective in improving the feeding value of cDDGS.

Summary: A biodegradable soybean oil-based polymer was evaluated as a thermoresistant vehicle for phytase in fish diet processing. The polymer showed potential in protecting the enzyme from heat denaturation and improving digestibility. It may serve as a protective carrier for phytase and other thermolabile additives in fish feed.

Summary: The aquafeed industry is facing challenges in reducing feed costs by replacing fish meal and soybean meal with lower-cost alternatives. One such alternative is dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS), a co-product of grain-based ethanol production. DDGS has high protein, fat, phosphorus, and yield, making it a promising replacement for fish meal or soybean meal.

Summary: The utilization of DDGS as an animal feed additive, fertilizer, and source of corn oil benefits the agricultural industry and improves environmental sustainability. However, exploring its technological and economical aspects is necessary for achieving more sustainable production and utilization. Other potential applications could enhance the value of DDGS as a renewable resource.
