Article Synopsis
- Two experiments evaluated the digestibility and growth performance of New Zealand White rabbits fed diets containing corn distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS).
- The first trial focused on digestibility, showing that DDGS had high protein (74.10%) and lipid (81.51%) digestibility, along with significant digestible energy (2979 kcal/kg).
- The second trial assessed growth performance, revealing that increasing DDGS levels led to a linear decrease in feed intake and feed conversion ratio, while the highest level (240 g/kg) resulted in lower carcass yield compared to the control group.
