Influence of Rapid Introduction and Removal of Dietary DDGS on Pig Performance and Carcass Characteristics
January 28, 2009By G.C. Shurson
Pork producers and nutritionists want to use feed ingredients that will optimize pig performance at the lowest cost. Inclusion of DDGS in the diets for grower-finisher pigs may be economical at...
