ABSTRACT
Many research studies have examined chemical properties and nutritional characteristics of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), especially in terms of utilization as livestock feed ingredients, their digestibilities, and resulting animal performance. Much of this is actually discussed in other chapters of this book (see, Chapter 8 for a review of DDGS chemical composition, and Chapters 12 through 17 for discussions on feeding DDGS to various animals). Until just a few years ago, however, no information was available regarding the physical properties of DDGS. But that is beginning to change, though, as more research is being conducted and published. The scienti„c understanding of DDGS is increasing, and this chapter aims to encapsulate this knowledge.
