Two experiments were conducted to measure the concentration of nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) in 2 different sources of dried fermentation biomass from monosodium L-glutamate production) in broilers (Exp. 1) and to determine the effect of increasing levels of different sources of DFB on broiler growth performance (Exp. 2). In Exp. 1, 42 day-old (Cobb 500) male broilers were individually housed in metabolic cages and allotted to 3 experimental diets using a completely randomized design with 14 replicates per diet. A corn-soybean meal basal diet and 2 diets consisting of 80% basal diet and 20% DFBI (IVP73L, Intraco BV, Belgium) and DFB2 (PL68, Intraco BV, Belgium) were formulated. The AMEn of DFBI (3,582 kcal/kg DM) was less (P0.05) than AMEn of DFB2 (4,087 kcal/kg DM. In Exp. 2, 700 day-old (Cobb 500) straight-run broilers were randomly allotted to 7 dietary treatments using a randomized complete block design with 10 replicate pens and 10 birds per pen. Phase 1 (d 0 to 10) and phase 2 diets (d 11 to 24) with increasing levels (0, 1, 2 and 3%) of DFBI and DFB2 were formulated. The BW, ADG, ADFI, and F/G were determined. From d 0 to 24, broilers fed increasing levels of DFB1 had no effect on growth performance; however, DFB2 linearly reduced (P0.01) ADG and F/G. In conclusion, energy concentration and feeding value of dried fermentation biomass in broilers vary between sources.
