Substituição de farinhas de origem animal por ingredientes de origem vegetal em dietas para frangos de corte

The demand of some importers due to cultural reasons or to zoonosis that recently emerged in Europe, there has been a trend to manufacture vegetable feeds based on corn and soybean meal (SBM). This influences live production, and therefore, this study aimed at evaluating the response of broilers fed diets containing either meat and bone meal (MBM) and offal meal (OM), or vegetable diets based on corn and SBM. Diets were calculated to supply 3050 and 3150 kcal ME/kg for the starter and grower phase, respectively, as well as to supply the requirements for all the other nutrients. The following treatments were tested: 1. Diet with inclusion of 4% swine MBM and 3% OM, calculated on Ideal Protein basis, containing 22% and 20% CP in the starter and grower phase, respectively; 2. Diet similar to 1, with no inclusion of animal meals, based on corn and SBM (similar CP and Digestible Lysine as to diet 1); 3. Diet similar to 2, but with 23% and 21% CP (Digestible Lysine similar to diet 1); Diet similar to 2, but with 24% and 22% CP (Digestible Lysine 6% and 5% higher than in diet 1). Dry matter content of the litter of birds fed exclusively vegetable ingredients and higher protein levels significantly deceased (P 0.05), but the feet weight was higher (P<0.01) in birds with lower dry matter content in the litter

Soja integral processada de diferentes formas para uso em dietas para suínos em crescimento e terminação

An experiment was conducted with the objective to evaluate the type of whole soybean processing to be used in the feeding of growing-finishing swine. Sixty pigs, gilts and barrows, with initial average weight of 24.96 kg and age of 70 days, were distributed to a complete randomized block design, with five treatments, each one with 12 replicates, and six per each sex. The experimental unit was composed by one animal in an individual box. Experimental diets were isonutritious and based on corn and soybean meal and 8% of soybean, in accordance with the type of soybean processing. Five dietes were evaluated: soybean 1 - diet with 8% of soybean inactivated in reactor by steaming and pressure; soja 2 - diet with 8% soybean inactivated by heat generated by dielectric losses, after water spraying and following through a microwave chamber; soybean 3 - Similar to soybean 1, but with soybean inactivated by a reactor of other manufacturer; soybean 4 - Diet with dry extruded soybean, in way that the grain were propelling through jet cannon containing helicoids and cones displaced to generated heat via attrition and pressure; soybean 5 - Diet with soybean in dry extrusion process followed by partial oil extraction via press expeller. The performance, the characteristics of carcass and the economic income of the processing were evaluated. There were no differences on pig performance among treatments but carcass traits and economic income were better for soybean in dry extrusion process followed by partial oil extraction via press expeller.

Níveis de resíduo industrial de fécula da mandioca na alimentação de suínos em crescimento e terminação

Two experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the inclusion of cassava residue (RIFM) in diets for growing and finishing pigs. In the first experiment, four levels (0, 6.67, 13.33 and 20%) of RIFM in growing diets were studied. The inclusion of RIFM in the diets caused a cubic effect on average daily gain (GPMD, P 0.10) by the inclusion of any level of RIFM. It was concluded that the inclusion of RIFM in diets for growing pigs, in levels like 6.67% or higher, decrease swine performance. In the finishing phase, the performance is not affected by the inclusion of any levels of RIFM, up to 30%.

Enzimas carboidrases na dieta de porcas lactantes e suas leitegadas

This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding enzymatic complex (EC) containing carbohydrases to diets for lactating sows and their litters. A total of 264 genetically homogeneous crossbred sows were used. They were blocked by farrowing order and randomly allotted to four treatments, in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement (lactating diet (LD) x pre-starter diet (PD)), with two levels per factor (with or without EC). The following variables were measured in the sows: weaning weight; weaning weight variation; backfat; backfat variation; body condition; feed consumption and milk composition. The following variables were measured in the litter: feed consumption; post-natal weight; weaning weight; and average weaning weight. No interaction was found among LD and PD for any of the variables studied. Additionally, no effect was observed for either, female weight, backfat, body condition score or milk composition (fat content, crude protein, lactose and dry matter). Litter weaning weight and average litter weaning weight were higher when LD was supplemented with EC in comparison to the piglets from sows fed with diets without EC (74.6 vs 72.9kg and 6.32 vs 6.47kg, respectively). Litters from female fed with CE were 1.7kg heavier at weaning and showed a 0.15kg increase in the average weaning weight (P=0.06; P=0.07, respectively). This resulted in an estimate 2.27kg increase in the body weight at slaughter. Lactating sows fed with diets containing enzymatic complex with carbohydrases had heavier litters at weaning.
