| Summary: | The objective of this study was to evaluate Corn Distillers Dried Grains
With Solubles (Corn-DDGS) as ingridient of coturnix feed. Observed variables
were the chemical content, protein molecular weight, amino acid composition,
protein digestibility in vitro, metabolism energy (ME), and growth performance.
Chemical content include: crude protein (CP), ekstract eter (EE), crude fiber (CF),
ash, calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). Crude protein, EE, CF, and ash were
determined by proximate method analysis, mineral Ca with EDTA method by
titration and P was determined by spectrophotometry, determination of molecular
weight of proteins by electrophoresis with SDS-PAGE method, determination of
amino acids using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), protein
digestibility in vitro with Whalphole method, male coturnix metabolism energy
using the wet force feeding, while the growth performance test using feeding trial
method using four different level of DDGS (0, 10, 20, and 30%). Proximate
analysis results that DDGS, containing CP, EE, CF, ash, Ca, and P 1.14% were
