Feeding strategies with DDGS to improve carcass quality

For most pork producers in North America the use of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is now common. However, research and on-farm studies have shown that while DDGS is an important ingredient, appropriate feeding strategies must be used to optimise both feed cost and carcass quality. Corn derived DDGS contains approximately 10% oil, which is rich in linoleic acid (C18:2), a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is primarily responsible for (undesired) soft pork fat. Numerous studies have
