Two experiments were conducted to evaluate
the use of distillers dried grains with solubles
(DDGS) from modern ethanol plants in broiler diets. Experiment
1 was a 2 × 2 factorial experiment with diets
containing 2 levels of DDGS (0 and 15%) and 2 diet densities
(high and low). The high- and low-density diets were
formulated to contain 22% CP and 3,050 kcal MEn/kg
and 20% CP and 3,000 kcal MEn/kg, respectively. Eight
pens of 6 chicks were fed an experimental diet from 0 to
18 d of age. Weight gain and feed efficiency (gain:feed
ratio) of the chicks receiving the high-density diets were
(P < 0.05) better than those of chicks fed the low-density
diets. However, within the 2 density levels there was no
