Due to tremendous increases in global aquaculture production, compounded with limited availabilities of fish meal for fish feed, the need for alternative protein sources cannot be disregarded. Toward that end, twin-screw extrusion studies were performed to investigate the production of nutritionally-balanced feeds for juvenile yellow perch (Perca flavescens). Five isocaloric (~ 3.06 kcal/g) ingredient blends, adjusted to a similar protein content of 36.7% db, were formulated with 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) at an initial moisture content of 5-7% db, with appropriate amounts of fish meal, fish oil, whole wheat flour, corn gluten …


Twin-Screw Extrusion Processing Of Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles (Ddgs)-Based Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Feeds, Ferouz Y. Ayadi, Kasiviswanathan Muthukumarappan, Kurt A. Rosentrater, Michael L. Brown Jun 2010

The world’s increasing demand for seafood products has resulted in rising demands for fish meal for fish feed, which must be compensated for by searching for effective alternative protein sources. In this study, twin-screw extrusion trials were conducted to study the production of nutritionally-balanced feeds for rainbow trout fingerlings (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Six isocaloric (~ 4.61 kcal/g) ingredient blends with a similar protein content of 52.8% db were formulated with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and other ingredients (i.e. fish meal, fish oil, whole wheat flour, corn gluten meal, and vitamin and mineral …

Demand for alternative fuels and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, have triggered the growth of corn-based ethanol production, and this is expected to rise in future years. Transportation of the co-product distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from this industry occurs under various environmental conditions. It is often problematic, since caking between the particles can lead to flow problems. In this study we have prepared DDGS by combining condensed distillers solubles (CDS) with distillers wet grains (DWG) and then drying. We investigated the effects of CDS (10, 15, and 20% wb), drying temperature (100, 200, and 300°C), …

The production of corn-based ethanol in the U.S. has been dramatically increasing in recent years, and consequently so has the quantity of co-products, especially distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), generated from this industrial sector. DDGS is sold as a commodity for animal feed, and like corn, its bulk physical and chemical properties are quality attributes that can be used in trading by merchandisers. Consistency in product quality has been a cause for concern in the industry, and the lack of standard methods for physical and chemical property determination potentially confounds the issue, especially when results of attributes measured by …
