Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different supplemental levels of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on pellet feed quality, growth performance and serum biochemical indices of broilers. A total of 960 Arbor Acres (AA) broilers of one-day-old were randomly divided into 6 groups with 8 replicates per group and 20 broilers per replicate (half male and half female). Broilers in the control group were fed a basal diet (F0), and those in the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 5% (F5), 10% (F10), 15% (F15), 20% (F20) and 25% (F25) corn DDGS, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) with the increase of dietary corn DDGS supplemental level, the pellet durability index, pellet hardness and pellet crispness of pellet feeds for broilers aged from 1 to 21 days and 22 to 42 days were significantly increased (P<0.05). With the increase of dietary corn DDGS supplemental level, the average daily feed intake, average daily gain, apparent digestibility of dry matter and crude protein, the relative length of small intestine and the relative weight of ileum of broilers were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the ratio of feed to gain of broilers was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the liver weight rate and gizzard index of broilers in F25 group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the color brightness (L^*) value in breast muscle was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 3) With the increase of dietary corn DDGS supplemental level, the activities of aspartate aminotransferase and transpeptidase in serum of broilers were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the contents of immunoglobulin G and globulin in serum were significantly decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary corn DDGS has no significant effects on pellet feed quality for broilers; according to the broken line model analysis, the optimal dietary corn DDGS level for broilers from 1 to 21 days of age is 13.05%, and that from 22 to 42 days of age is 18.05%; dietary 25% corn DDGS has negative effects on liver health of broilers.
