One study (Widmer et al., 2008) evaluated the effects of feeding DDGS (10 or 20% of the diet), HP DDG (replaced 50 or 100% of soybean meal), and corn germ (5 or 10% of the diet) to growing-finishing pigs on growth performance, carcass quality, and palatability of pork. Results from this study showed that feeding diets containing 20% DDGS or high dietary inclusion rates of HP-DDG had no negative effect on growth performance, carcass composition, muscle quality, and eating characteristics of bacon and pork chops, but may decrease pork fat quality. Similarly, feeding diets containing up to 10% corn germ had no negative effects on growth performance, carcass composition, carcass quality or eating characteristics of bacon and pork loins, but increased final body weight and improved bacon fat quality (reduced iodine value). Similar to preliminary results of feeding some of the fractionated corn co-products to dairy and beef cattle, there appear to be no negative effects, and potentially positive effects, on feeding diets containing HP-DDGS and corn germ to grower-finisher pigs, and the reduced oil in these co-products may improve pork quality
