Dried distillers grains with solubles(DDGS), is a product from the ethalon production sector that is effectively used in feed for cattle and pigs because of its relatively high protein and nutrient value and lower cost that grains. The purpose of this research was to determine the best DDGS level that could be added to the diet of common carp. A six-week trial was conducted with common carp starting at a weight of 84 g, using three test diets:P0 (0%), P1 (25%) and P2 (35%). The chemical makeup of DDGS examined with Fourier Transform Near-Infrared spectroscopy revealed a protein level of 28.45% and oil content of 5.86%. the diets containing DDGS did not lead to notable changes in growth measures and meat quality. In terms of oxidative state in the muscle tissue, P1 and P2 significantly decreased, in a dose-dependent way, the specific activity of SOD and GSH, while CAT and GPX remained unchanged. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of substituting sunflower meal with DDGS in the common carp diet on key growth measures, meat quality, and oxidative stress.
