This paper presents results of studies on qualities of maize dried distillers' grains with solubles (DDGS), as animal feed, which is a by-product from the process of maize grain-based bioethanol production. Twenty maize hybrids, developed at the Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje, were used in this study. The moisture content in all DDGS samples was below 13% - the maximum value according to the Serbian Regulation. Furthermore, obtained results show that all observed DDGS samples had a high content of protein (29.58 - 36.08%), i.e. three-fold higher than in the initial raw material - maize grain. The digestibility of dry matter in samples of DDGS ranged from 74.09 (ZP Rumenka) to 82.41% (ZP 505). Based on obtained results, samples of DDGS were of high quality and therefore can be used as feed for the preparation of complete and concentrated feed.
