Proximate constituents in dried distillers grains with solubles with respect to DM, CP, EE, CF, TA and NFE were 89.76%, 30.00%, 9.80%, 8.40%, 4.54% and 47.20%, respectively. Whereas in WDGS these contents were 29.94%, 30.89%, 10.30%, 8.62%, 4.09% and 46.19%, respectively. Fiber fractions in DDGS regarding NDF, ADF, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin were 38.93%, 15.10%, 23.84%, 13.01% and 2.07%, respectively. Whereas, in WDGS these contents were 40.40%, 16.61%, 24.04%, 14.45% and 2.16%, respectively. The in vitro dry matter digestibility of DDGS was 69.36% while it was 69.78% in WDGS.enThesis
