Okinawan Awamori is produced by fermenting steamed indica rice with black mold, yeast, and water. Awamori-pressed lees is a by-product of the Awamori production process. Tofu lees is a by-product of the Tofu production process. This research consisted of two experiments conducted to elucidate whether or not dried Awamori-pressed lees and Tofu lees can be used as a mixed feed ingredient for raising female goats. In experiment 1, digestion trials were conducted to ascertain the nutritive values of dried Awamori-pressed lees and dried Tofu lees for goats. The digestible crude protein (DCP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) contents of dried Awamori-pressed lees and Tofu lees were 22.5%, 22.5% (DCP), and 87.2%, 94.4% (TDN) respectively. In experiment 2, 18 female goats (Japanese Saanen×Nubian, three months old, body weight 15.4±0.53 kg) were divided into three groups of six animals (control feed group (CFG), Awamori-pressed lees mixed feed group (AMFG), Tofu lees mixed feed group (TMFG)). The CFG control used feed containing 20% soybean meal as the main protein source, while the AMFG and TMFG treatments used feed mixed with 20% dried Awamori-pressed lees or dried Tofu lees. The groups were fed mixed feed (volume to provide 100 g/d increase in body weight) twice a day (10:00, 16:00). The klein grass hay and water was given ad libitum. The hay intake was measured at 08:00 and 16:00. Body weight and size measurements were taken once a month. At the end of the experiment, a blood sample was drawn from the jugular vein of each animal. The DCP and TDN intakes in AMFG and TMFG showed no significant difference to the CFG. Cumulative measurements of growth in body weight, withers height, chest depth, chest girth, and hip width over the 10 mo period in the AMFG and TMFG were similar to the CFG. By contrast, cumulative growth in body length and hip height in the AMFG and TMFG tended to be larger than the CFG. Cumulative growth in chest width in the AMFG was significantly larger (p<0.05) than the CFG. Blood parameter values were similar to those in normal goats reported by other scientists. The coats of the AMFG and TMFG animals looked shinier than the animals in the CFG. The results demonstrate that dried Awamori-pressed lees and Tofu lees can be used as a feed ingredient for the raising female goats.
冲绳泡盛是通过将蒸熟的籼米与黑曲霉、酵母和水发酵制成的。泡盛压榨酒糟是泡盛生产过程中的副产品。豆腐糟是豆腐生产过程中的副产品。本研究包括两个实验，旨在阐明干燥的泡盛压榨酒糟和豆腐糟是否可以用作饲养母山羊的混合饲料成分。在实验1中，进行了消化试验，以确定干燥的泡盛压榨酒糟和干燥的豆腐糟对山羊的营养价值。干燥的泡盛压榨酒糟和豆腐糟的可消化粗蛋白（DCP）和总可消化养分（TDN）含量分别为22.5%、22.5%（DCP）和87.2%、94.4%（TDN）。在实验2中，将18只母山羊（日本萨能×努比亚，3个月大，体重15.4±0.53千克）分为三组，每组6只动物（对照饲料组（CFG）、泡盛压榨酒糟混合饲料组（AMFG）、豆腐糟混合饲料组（TMFG））。CFG对照组使用以20%豆粕为主要蛋白质来源的饲料，而AMFG和TMFG处理组使用与20%干燥的泡盛压榨酒糟或干燥的豆腐糟混合的饲料。每天两次（10:00、16:00）给各组喂食混合饲料（按体积计算，以使体重每天增加100克）。随意提供黑麦草干草和水。在08:00和16:00测量干草摄入量。每月测量一次体重和体尺。实验结束时，从每只动物的颈静脉采集血样。AMFG和TMFG中的DCP和TDN摄入量与CFG相比无显著差异。AMFG和TMFG在10个月期间体重、鬐甲高、胸深、胸围和臀宽的累积生长测量值与CFG相似。相比之下，AMFG和TMFG中体长和臀高的累积生长往往大于CFG。AMFG中胸宽的累积生长显著大于（p<0.05）CFG。血液参数值与其他科学家报告的正常山羊的参数值相似。AMFG和TMFG动物的皮毛看起来比CFG中的动物更有光泽。结果表明，干燥的泡盛压榨酒糟和豆腐糟可以用作饲养母山羊的饲料成分。
