Feed refusal and wastage will be observed if sows are not accustomed to the taste of DDGS. Conservative dietary inclusions (5 - 15 %) are recommended for the first week after farrowing and wean-to-breeding period.
Due to microbial fermentation in the hindgut, sows can derive slightly more energy from DDGS than young pigs (see NE values in Table 1). Avoid feeding mycotoxin-contaminated DDGS to pregnant sows (risk of abortion) and boars (affects spermatogenesis).
