Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different supplemental levels of brewer's grains (BSG) on ruminal degradation characteristics and apparent digestibilities of dietary nutrients. Four healthy Laoshan dairy goats[(40.0±2.5) kg] with permanent ruminal cannulas were used, and a 4×4 Latin square design was adopted in this experiment. Based on dry matter (DM) of a basal diet, goats were supplemented with 0, 10%, 15% and 20% BSG, respectively. Ruminal degradation characteristics and apparent digestibilities of dietary nutrients were determined using the methods of nylon bag and endogenous indicator, respectively. The results showed as follows: 1) BSG supplemental level had significant effects on ruminal degradation rates of nutrients excluding that of crude protein (CP) at 72 h (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and significantly increased ruminal effective degradation rates of DM, organic matter (OM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but had no significant effect on ruminal effective degradation rate of acid detergent fiber (ADF) (P>0.05). 2) BSG supplemental level had significant effects on nutrient intake (P<0.05), and supplemented with 15% BSG had the highest nutrient intake. 3) Compared with the control group, the supplementation of 10% BSG had no significant effects on apparent digestibilities of nutrients (P>0.05); the supplementation of 15% BSG significantly increased apparent digestibilities of DM, OM, NDF, ADF and CP (P<0.05); the apparent digestibility of NDF was significantly increased when the supplemental level of BSG was 20% (P<0.05), but not for the rest nutrients (P>0.05). Considering ruminal degradation characteristics, intake and apparent digestibilities of dietary nutrients, the optimal supplemental level of BSG is 15% in the basal diet (DM basis) under the conditions of the present experiment.
