This study was conducted to evaluate the use of moderate to high levels of DDGS in broiler diets and to evaluate the effects of rapid and multiple changes in level of DDGS during the growth period. Diets were formulated to contain 0, 15, or 30% DDGS with diets formulated on the basis of digestible amino acids to meet levels typical of the U.S. broiler industry. Groups of birds were fed diets wi...
