Research summary

Investigates carcass and meat-quality outcomes when rice DDGS is included in broiler diets.

Objective

Evaluate effects on carcass traits, sensory quality and nutrient utilization.

Methodology / scope

A six-week trial allocated 180 Hubbard chicks to five diets containing 0-20% DDGS, with three replicates per diet. Five birds per treatment underwent carcass assessment.

Main findings

The reported carcass, sensory and digestibility outcomes did not differ significantly among the tested groups.

Conclusion

Results support inclusion under the study's conditions; they do not establish suitability for every feed source or flock.

Interpretation & evidence limits

Distinct from the 2019 DDGS performance paper; do not merge them. No DOI identified. Received and accepted dates are not publication dates. No explicit rehosting licence identified; use a publisher PDF link rather than bundling a copy for public distribution.
