Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary dry brewer's grain (DBG) level on growth performance, serum biochemical indices and gastrointestinal tract development of ducks aged from 31 to 59 days. A total of 420 thirty-one-day-old Jianchang ducks were randomly allocated to 5 groups with 6 replicates per group and 14 ducks per replicate. Ducks in the 5 groups were fed the experimental diets supplemented with 0, 15%, 30%, 45% and 60% DBG, respectively. The experiment was finished at 59 days of age. The results showed as follows: the body weight of 59 days of age, body weight gain, feed to gain and the 4th wing feather length showed a linearly or quadratically change (P<0.05), and the performance of 60% DBG group was significantly lower than that of other groups (P<0.05). The concentrations of globulin, total protein, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein in serum linearly reduced with dietary DBG increasing (P<0.05), whereas the activities of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and alkaline phosphatase were linearly increased (P<0.05). The relative length, weight and capacity of the duodenum, the relative length and capacity of ileum, the relative weight of cecum and gizzard linearly increased with dietary DBG increasing (P<0.05). The optimal level of DBG in diets was 17.4%, 16.1% and 18.94% based on body weight gain, feed to gain and the 4th primary wing feather length, respectively, by quadratic regression. These result suggest that 15.00% to 18.94% DBG in diet of ducks from 31 to 59 days of age is benefit based on digestible amino acid, and the highest DBG level can get to 45%.
