Abstract:Dried distillers’ grains were rich in nutrition, which used as protein feed materials, and could give some benefit to supplement feed deficit and reduce feed cost. Totally 78 dried distillers’ grains samples were collected from 21 provinces of China. Crude fiber, crude ash and crude protein contents were detected in laboratory by standard methods. The statistic analysis showed that the distribution range of crude fiber, crude ash and crude protein contents were 1.60%~37.54%, 0.74%~26.85% and 12.01%~38.69%, respectively, the standard distribution value of them were 8.33%, 5.21% and 7.11%, respectively. The big differences in components content were mainly caused by the remaining rice hull during drying and separating process. Quantitative evaluation models were established to determinate crude fiber, crude ash and crude protein content of dried distillers’ grains by NIRS methods. The results of NIRS analysis showed that this method could provide rapidly quantitative prediction for crude fiber, crude ash and crude protein contents in dried distillers’ grains, the coefficient of determination in calibration were 0.98, 0.91 and 0.96, respectively; the standard error in calibration were 1.19%, 1.58% and 1.61%, respectively; the coefficient of determination in validation were 0.98, 0.92 and 0.96, respectively; the standard error in validation were 1.20%, 1.57% and 1.60%, respectively, and the ratio of performance to standard deviation were 7.38, 3.75 and 4.98, respectively. The prediction values of these models are accurate.
