Atotal number of 256 unsexed, one day old Arbor acres
broiler chicks were used to study the effect of using
distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) at levels (0, 5,
10, 15%) treated without or with enzyme (avizyme 1500)
at level 0 and 1gm / kg diet on some blood parameter
of broiler chicks. At the 6thweek of age, blood samples
were collected from wing vein of four chicks from each
experimental groups to study some blood hematological
study. Birds fed dietary 15% DDGS recorded the highest
(P≤ 0.01) values of RBC’s, PCV%, Hb, MCH and MCHC
compared to other treatments. The greatest (P≤ 0.01)
value of MCHC was recorded for birds fed dietary 5%
and 15% DDGS. While, birds fed 15% DDGS recorded
the highest (P≤ 0.01) value of PCV%. Hemoglobin (Hb)
concentration increased by using DDGS at all levels
compared to control group. Adding enzymes to broiler diet
improved (P≤ 0.01) Hb and MCV values.
The principle reason for broiler producers to select
dietary ingredients is economy, because feed represents
approximately 70% of the live production cost. In feed
formulation, nutritionists consider a wide range of
ingredients and attempt to develop feed formulas that
provide the desired level of nutrients at minimum cost.
In formulating diets the nutritionist must consider not
only cost and nutrient content of the ingredient, but also
the quantity available for use and consistency of supply
(Wang et al., 2007). Therefore, many attempts are usually
made to reduce feed cost without adversely affecting
performance and/or product safety by using some Un-
traditional ingredients in the diets. In developing countries,
there is a shortage of both energy sources and feedstuffs
with acceptable protein content for animal production.
In view of the worldwide demand for additional feed
sources. Moreover, enzymes were used most commonly
to aid digestion of diets where improvements are seen in
dry matter digestibility. There is also current interest in
enzymes designed specifically to improve soybean meal
digestibility (Lesson and Summers, 2005).
Recently, increased emphasis on ethanol production as
biofuel in the United States and other countries has and
will continue to lead to significant increase in the amount
of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) available
to the feed industry (Batal and Dale, 2003). DDGS has
been a by-product of the beverage industry, for the most
part, with several different grains used in the fermentation
process. In the late 1930s, feed producers began to
incorporate DDGS into livestock rations, but before this,
it was a by-product with limited value (Scott, 1970). The
beverage industry was not the only source of DDGS;
ethanol plants also produced this ingredient. Production of
ethanol from 100 kg of corn using the dry-milling method
produces approximately 34.4 kg of ethanol, 34.0 kg of
carbon dioxide and 31.6 kg of distillers dried grains with
solubles (Renewable Fuels Association, 2005).
