The present work was carried out to study the effect of using dried distillers grains with soluble (DDGS) as a source of protein in ration formulation of buffalo calves. DDGS was included in concentrate feed mixture (CFM) at 0, 11, 16, 21 and 27% to cover 0, 20, 30, 40 and 50% of total protein, respectively. Fifty male buffalo calves averaging 320.16 kg live body weight were randomly distributed into five similar groups (10 in each) and assigned to receive five concentrate feed mixtures containing five levels of DDGS. Animals were fed CFM along with berseem hay and wheat straw at the ratios of 70: 20: 10, respectively. The feeding trail lasted 184 days, during which, five digestibility trials were carried out to determine the digestibility and feeding values of the experimental rations. In addition, samples of rumen liquor and blood serum were taken to determine some ruminal and blood parameters. Also, feed and economical efficiencies were studied. Keywords :DDGS, rumen fermentation, blood constituents.
