Replacement level of rubber seed cake for soybean meal on the growth of Japanese quail / Nível de substituição do bolo de semente de borracha pelo farelo de soja no crescimento da codorna japonesa

A four-week feeding trial on the simultaneous replacement of 0 to 50% of soybean meal and 0 to 100% of soybean oil on the growth performance, carcass composition and profitability was conducted using 45 randomly chosen one-week-old growing Japanese quail. The five experimental diets were; D0 = Diet containing 20% soybean meal and 4% soybean oil (control diet), D1 = Diet, where 12.5% of soybean meal and 25% of soybean oil has been replaced by RSC; T2 = Diet, where 25% of soybean meal and 50% of soybean oil has been replaced by RSC; T3 = Diet, where 37.5% of soybean meal and 75% of soybean oil has been replaced by RSC; T4 = Diet, where 50% of soybean meal and 100% of soybean oil has been replaced by RSC. Results demonstrated that in raw rubber seed the proportion of kernel to hull is 64: 36. Proximate components of the boiled and sundried full fat rubber seed kernel (RS) were, moisture = 96.6%, ME = 5305 kcal / kg DM, CP = 17.6%, EE = 51.05%, CF = 8.5%, NFE = 18.25% and Ash = 4.6%. The body weights of the birds at 35 days of age in all dietary treatments were statistically similar. The feed intake of the quail among different dietary groups was varied significantly (p < 0.05) and there was a tendency of decreasing the feed intake at 25% and above inclusion level of RSC. The body weight gain and FCR were also statistically similar in all dietary groups. The feed cost and total production cost /kg BW of quail was also found to become steadily higher (p> 0.05) at higher RSC inclusion level. The muscle development was found to better at lower (%) RSC level, whereas the organs were enlarged at higher RSC inclusion. Results on the majority of the production parameters, and economics and carcass yield parameters suggested that the simultaneous replacement of maximum 50% soybean oil 25% soybean meal by processed RSC might be suggested, particularly, there will be a crisis in the availability of these two ingredients.

Um ensaio de alimentação de quatro semanas na substituição simultânea de 0 a 50% de farelo de soja e 0 a 100% de óleo de soja no desempenho de crescimento, composição de carcaça e lucratividade foi conduzido usando 45 codornas japonesas em crescimento com uma semana de idade escolhidas aleatoriamente. As cinco dietas experimentais foram: D0 = Dieta contendo 20% de farelo de soja e 4% de óleo de soja (dieta controle); D1 = Dieta, onde 12,5% de farelo de soja e 25% de óleo de soja foram substituídos por RSC; T2 = Dieta, onde 25% do farelo de soja e 50% do óleo de soja foram substituídos por RSC; T3 = Dieta, onde 37,5% do farelo de soja e 75% do óleo de soja foram substituídos por RSC; e T4 = Dieta, onde 50% do farelo de soja e 100% do óleo de soja foram substituídos por RSC. Os resultados demonstraram que em sementes de borracha crua a proporção de kernel para casca é 64: 36. Os componentes próximos do caroço de semente de borracha gordurosa fervida e seca ao sol foram: umidade = 96,6%; EM = 5305 kcal / kg MS; CP = 17,6%; EE = 51,05%; CF = 8,5%; NFE = 18,25%; e Ash = 4,6%. Os pesos corporais das aves aos 35 dias de idade em todos os tratamentos dietéticos foram estatisticamente semelhantes. O consumo de ração das codornas entre os diferentes grupos dietéticos variou significativamente (p < 0,05) e houve uma tendência de diminuição do consumo de ração em 25% e acima do nível de inclusão do RSC. O ganho de peso corporal e a FCR também foram estatisticamente semelhantes em todos os grupos dietéticos. O custo da ração e o custo total de produção / kg de PC de codornas também se tornaram cada vez mais altos (p > 0,05) no nível de inclusão de RSC mais alto. Constatou-se que o desenvolvimento muscular melhorou com o nível de RSC mais baixo (%), enquanto os órgãos aumentaram com a inclusão de RSC mais alta. Os resultados sobre a maioria dos parâmetros de produção e parâmetros econômicos e de rendimento de carcaça sugeriram que a substituição simultânea de no máximo 50% de óleo de soja e 25% de farelo de soja por RSC processado pode ser sugerida, particularmente, haverá uma crise na disponibilidade desses dois ingredientes.

Ingestive behavior of steers finished on soybean hull and/or white oat grain / Comportamento ingestivo de novilhos terminados com casca do grão de soja e/ou grão de aveia branca

The objective of this research was to measure the ingestive behavior of steers finished exclusively with concentrate containing soybean hulls (ground) and/or white oat grain.We used 32 steers with Charolais or Nellore predominance.The animals were randomly distributed in the treatments, blocked according to genetic predominance, and allocated in individual pens. Diets were isonitrogenous, being the treatments: Soybean hulls; White oat grain or the Mixture (equal parts), plus limestone and protein nucleus. Steers that received the diet based on soybean hulls remained more time in idle compared to the ones that received the mixture, and these remained more time in idle than the steers that received the diet based on white oat grain. Steers that received the diet based on soybean hulls ruminated less time than the steers fed the mixture, and these less time than those fed white oat grain. Exclusively concentrate diets based on soybean hulls although presenting high soluble fiber content in neutral detergent, are not sufficient to promote an appropriate ingestive behavior of steers of Charolais or Nelore racial predominance.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi mensurar o comportamento ingestivo de novilhos terminados exclusivamente com concentrado contendo casca do grão de soja (moída) e/ou grão de aveia branca. Foram utilizados 32 novilhos, com predominâncias raciais Charolês ou Nelore. Os animais foram distribuídos ao acaso nos tratamentos, bloqueados conforme predominância genética e alocados em baias individuais. As dietas foram isonitrogenadas, sendo os tratamentos: Casca do grão de soja; Grão de aveia branca e a Mistura (partes iguais), acrescidos de calcário calcítico e núcleo proteico. Os animais que receberam dieta à base de casca de soja permaneceram mais tempo em ócio, comparados aos que receberam a mistura; estes, por sua vez, permaneceram mais tempo em ócio em relação aos que tiveram acesso à dieta à base de aveia branca. Os novilhos que consumiram dieta à base de casca de soja ruminaram menos tempo que os da mistura e estes, por sua vez, menos tempo que os novilhos alimentados à base de aveia branca. Dietas exclusivamente com concentrado à base de casca de soja, embora apresentem elevado teor de fibra solúvel em detergente neutro, não são suficientes para promover adequado comportamento ingestivo de novilhos de predominância racial Charolês ou Nelore.

Comportamento ingestivo de novilhos mestiços terminados em confinamento alimentados com borra de soja / Ingestive behavior of steers finished on feedlot fed with soybean sopastock

Este trabalho objetivou avaliar os efeitos da inclusão da borra de soja no comportamento ingestivo de 30 novilhos mestiços Charolês/Nelore, confinados, com 20 meses de idade e peso médio inicial de 328,3 kg. Cada grupo experimental foi composto por seis animais, distribuídos nos tratamentos: 00; 30; 60; 90 e 120 g de borra de soja por 1000 g de matéria seca na dieta, os quais continham 29,0; 47,3; 66,7; 86,8 e 106,8 g de extrato etéreo, respectivamente. O aumento no nível de inclusão de borra de soja na dieta não interferiu no tempo de alimentação, ruminação e ócio (3,11; 13,33 e 7,55 h, respectivamente). As variáveis número de mastigações por bolo, tempo de mastigação por bolo, número de bolos, número de mastigações diárias e tempo de mastigação total (h/dia) (62; 58; 470; 28978 e 10,65, respectivamente) também não sofreram efeito dos tratamentos. O consumo de matéria seca foi similar, em contrapartida, o consumo de fibra detergente neutro (kg/dia) e a eficiência (g FDN/h) da referida fração apresentaram comportamento linear decrescente com aumento da inclusão de borra. A borra de soja pode ser incluída na dieta de novilhos mestiços confinados até o nível de 120 g por 1000 g de matéria seca sem que haja efeitos negativos sobre as principais variáveis relativas ao comportamento ingestivo.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of soybean sopastock inclusion on the ingestive behavior of 30 crossbred Charolais / Nellore steers on feedlot, at 20 moths of age and with initial average weight of 328.3 kg. Each experimental group was composed by six animals, distributed into treatments: 00; 30; 60; 90 and 120 g of soybean soapstock per 1,000 g of dry mater in the diet. Each treatment contained 29.0; 47.35; 66.6; 86.8 and 106.8 g of ether extract, respectively. The increase of soybean soapstock in diet did not interfere with feeding, rumination, and idle times (3.11; 13.33 and 7.55 hours, respectively). The variables number of chews per bolus, time of chew per bolus, number of daily chews and total chew time (h/day) (62; 58; 470; 28,978 and 10.65, respectively) also were not affected by the treatments. Dry matter intake was similar among treatments; however, neutral detergent fiber intake (kg/day) and the efficiency of this fraction (g FDN/h) decreased linearly with the inclusion of soybean soapstock to diet. Therefore, the inclusion of soybean soapstock did not change the ingestive behavior of steers, and it can be used in diets of crossbred steers in feedlot up to the level of 120 g per 1000 g of dry matter.

Nutritional evaluation of soybean hulls with or without beta-mannanase supplement on performance, intestinal morphometric and carcass yield of broilers chickens

The objective was to evaluate the performance, intestinal morphology and carcass yield of broilers fed corn-soybean meal (SBM) diet or corn-SBM-soybean hull (SH) with or without b-mannanase supplementation. Thousand four hundred and forty Cobb Slow-male- chicks were housed design following a factorial scheme 2 x 2 (corn-SBM diet and corn-SBM-SH diet vs with and without b-mannanase), composing 4 treatments and 9 replicates each treatment, with 40 birds each replicate. At 21 days, corn-SBM diet supplemented with b-mannanase resulted in better (p<0.05) feed conversion. At 42 days, the weight gain (p<0.05) and feed intake (p<0.05) of the birds fed diets containing SH was 2.6% and 2.9% higher than that of birds fed corn-SBM diets, respectively, independent of b-mannanase supplementation. Birds supplemented with b-mannanase had a lower length of villi (p<0.05) and absorption area (p<0.05) of jejunum mucosa, and higher (p<0.05) relative liver weight. Diets with SH and without addition of b-mannanase resulted in higher relative liver weight (p<0.05) and lower percentage of fat in the carcass. It was not found statistical differences (p>0.05) in the quality of the poultry litter with the inclusion of the enzyme in the diet. The use of b-mannanase in diets with higher concentration of fiber improves the feed conversion of broilers from 1 to 21 days and can be an important nutritional and economic strategy in situations of unavailability of raw material of better quality. Corn-SBM-SH diet resulted in greater weight gain at 42 days than corn-SBM diet.(AU)

INDICADORES NA ESTIMATIVA DA DIGESTIBILIDADE, PRODUÇÃO FECAL E TAXA DE PASSAGEM EM DIETAS PARA COELHOS EM CRESCIMENTO

Avaliou-se o desempenho produtivo de 120 coelhos em crescimento da raça Nova Zelândia Brancos alimentados com quatro diferentes dietas, sendo: uma dieta controle (T1), sem casca de soja e três dietas contendo diferentes níveis de substituição do feno de alfafa pela casca de soja: 3,27% (T2), 7,04% (T3) e 10,81% (T4). O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com 30 repetições, sendo um animal por unidade experimental. O ensaio de desempenho teve duração de 42 dias, onde foram avaliados o peso vivo (PV), ganho de peso diário (GPD), consumo médio diário (CMD), conversão alimentar (CA) e as características de carcaça. O PV encontrado aos 72 dias foi de 2,532; 2,333; 2,389 e 2,306g, o GPD de 35,64; 36,39; 34,41 e 36,42g, o CMD foi de 130,61; 125,33; 125,94; 123,62g e a CA foi de 2.53; 2.33; 2.39; 2.31 e 2.31g de ração consumida/g de peso vivo respectivos aos tratamentos T1; T2; T3; T4, e respectivamente. Não houve diferença estatística entre os tratamentos para os parâmetros avaliados.

The productive performance of 120 growing rabbits of the breed New 651 Zealand White was evaluated fed with four different diets, being: a control diet (T1), 652 without soy husk and three diets containing different levels of substitution of alfalfa hay by soybean hull: 3.27% (T2), 7.04% (T3) and 10.81% (T4). The design was entirely randomized with 30 replicates, one animal per experimental unit. The performance test lasted 42 days, where live weight (BW), daily weight gain (GPD), average daily consumption (CMD), feed conversion (AC) and carcass characteristics were evaluated. The PV found at 72 days was 2.532; 2,333; 2.389 and 2.306g, the GPD of -35.64; 36.39; 34.41 and 36.42g, the CMD was 130.61; 125.33; 125.94; 123.62g and the CA was 2.53; 2.33; 2.39; 2.31 and 2.31g of feed consumed / g of live weight corresponding to the T1 treatments; T2; T3; T4, and respectively. There was no statistical difference between treatments for the evaluated parameters.

Consumo e desempenho de novilhos alimentados com borra de soja em confinamento / Intake and performance of steers fed with soybean dreg in confinement

O estudo foi desenvolvido com objetivo de avaliar a viabilidade de utilização da borra de soja na terminação de novilhos confinados, com idade e peso médio inicial de 20 meses e 328,3 kg, respectivamente. Cada tratamento foi composto por seis animais experimentais, os quais receberam dieta com relação volumoso: concentrado, 40:60 (base na matéria seca), sendo o volumoso, a silagem de milho e concentrado a base de casca, farelo e borra de soja, milho, cloreto de sódio e calcário calcítico. Os novilhos foram distribuídos nos tratamentos: 00; 30; 60; 90 e 120 g de borra de soja por kg, na forma como o alimento foi oferecido, os quais continham 29,0; 47,3; 66,7; 86,8 e 106,8 g de extrato etéreo por kg de matéria seca, respectivamente. O consumo de matéria seca foi similar (P>0,05) entre os novilhos dos tratamentos estudados com média de 9,71 kg dia-1. Do mesmo modo, não foram observadas diferenças (P>0,05) no consumo de proteína bruta pelos animais entre os tratamentos, com média de 1,36 kg dia-1. Porém, houve diferença no consumo de extrato etéreo e fibras em detergente neutro e ácido, as quais decresceram linearmente com o aumento da inclusão de borra na ração (CEE=0,305+0,0061BS; CFDN=5,710,011BS; CFDA=3,890,008BS em kg dia-1, respectivamente). O desempenho dos novilhos foi semelhante (P>0,05) entre os tratamentos, sendo o ganho médio diário de 1,542 kg, a conversão alimentar de 6,35 kg de MS kg-1 ganho de peso e o peso de abate de 457,95 kg. O uso da borra de soja até o limite de 120 g na dieta de bovinos confinados é viável.(AU)

Each treatment consisted of six experimental animals, which were fed with forage: concentrate ratio, 40:60 (dry matter basis), being bulky corn silage and concentrate based of bark, chaff and soybean dreg, corn, sodium chloride and calcium limestone. The steers were distributed in the treatments: 00, 30, 60, 90 and 120 g of soybean dreg per kg of dry matter in the diet, which contained 29.0, 47.3, 66.7, 86.8 and 106.8 g of ether extract, respectively. The dry matter intake was similar (P> 0.05) among the studied treatments with an average of 9.71 kg day-1. Similarly, no differences were observed (P> 0.05) in crude protein intake with anaverage of 1.36 kg day-1. However, there were differences in the consumption of ether extract and neutral and acid detergent fibre, which decreased linearly with the increase in the inclusion of dreg in the diet (CEE=0,305+0,0061SD; CFDN=5.710,011SD; CFDA=3.890.008SD kg day-1, respectively). The performance of steers was similar (P>0.05) between treatments, being the average daily gain of 1.542 kg, the fed conversion of 6.35 kg DM kg-1 weight gain and slaughter weight of 457.95 kg. The use of soybean dreg until the limit of 120 g kg-1 in the diet of confined is feasible.(AU)

Consumo e desempenho de novilhos alimentados com borra de soja em confinamento / Intake and performance of steers fed with soybean dreg in confinement

O estudo foi desenvolvido com objetivo de avaliar a viabilidade de utilização da borra de soja na terminação de novilhos confinados, com idade e peso médio inicial de 20 meses e 328,3 kg, respectivamente. Cada tratamento foi composto por seis animais experimentais, os quais receberam dieta com relação volumoso: concentrado, 40:60 (base na matéria seca), sendo o volumoso, a silagem de milho e concentrado a base de casca, farelo e borra de soja, milho, cloreto de sódio e calcário calcítico. Os novilhos foram distribuídos nos tratamentos: 00; 30; 60; 90 e 120 g de borra de soja por kg, na forma como o alimento foi oferecido, os quais continham 29,0; 47,3; 66,7; 86,8 e 106,8 g de extrato etéreo por kg de matéria seca, respectivamente. O consumo de matéria seca foi similar (P>0,05) entre os novilhos dos tratamentos estudados com média de 9,71 kg dia-1. Do mesmo modo, não foram observadas diferenças (P>0,05) no consumo de proteína bruta pelos animais entre os tratamentos, com média de 1,36 kg dia-1. Porém, houve diferença no consumo de extrato etéreo e fibras em detergente neutro e ácido, as quais decresceram linearmente com o aumento da inclusão de borra na ração (CEE=0,305+0,0061BS; CFDN=5,710,011BS; CFDA=3,890,008BS em kg dia-1, respectivamente). O desempenho dos novilhos foi semelhante (P>0,05) entre os tratamentos, sendo o ganho médio diário de 1,542 kg, a conversão alimentar de 6,35 kg de MS kg-1 ganho de peso e o peso de abate de 457,95 kg. O uso da borra de soja até o limite de 120 g na dieta de bovinos confinados é viável.

Diferentes suplementos na terminação de bovinos Nelore em pastagem diferida de Brachiaria decumbens no período da seca / Different supplents for finishing of Nellore cattle on deferred Brachiaria decumbens pasture during the dry season

Foi estudado em pastagem diferida de Brachiaria decumbens, o efeito de quatro tipos de suplementos na terminação de bovinos Nelore no período da seca. Utilizaram-se 64 animais da raça Nelore, machos castrados, com idade aproximada de 34 meses e peso corporal (PC) inicial variando de 360 a 380 kg, distribuídos inteiramente ao acaso em quatro tratamentos. Os tratamentos foram quatro formas de suplementação da pastagem: pasto diferido de Brachiaria decumbens + sal proteico energético mineral (SuPEM), considerado controle; pasto diferido de Brachiaria decumbens + ureia + farelo de algodão (28% PB) + milho grão moído (SuMi); pasto diferido de Brachiaria decumbens + ureia + farelo de algodão (28% PB) + polpa cítrica (SuPC); pasto diferido de Brachiaria decumbens + ureia + farelo de algodão (28% PB) + casca de soja (SuCS). A pastagem foi diferida por 170 dias e apresentou 3.482 kg MS/ha de forragem, permitindo 1,56 UA/ha (ingestão de MS de 2,25% do PC e 50% de eficiência de pastejo). Os animais receberam o suplemento ad libitum no tratamento SuPEM e em % PC nos demais tratamentos, de julho a outubro. Os animais foram abatidos com PC mínimo de 457 kg. Foram determinadas as variáveis: peso final (PF), ganho de peso no período (GPP), ganho de peso diário (GPD), peso da carcaça quente (PCQ) e rendimento da carcaça quente (RCQ). Na variável PF, o tipo de suplemento dos tratamentos SuMi, SuPC e SuCS, permitiu maior aporte de nutrientes, e assim apresentaram melhor desempenho (P<0,05) comparados ao tratamento SuPEM (média de 478,68 vs 412,62 kg). Esse mesmo efeito foi observado nos outros parâmetros estudados. Quando foi analisado o GPP e GPD, o tratamento SuCS foi superior (P<0,05) aos tratamentos SuMi e SuPC, em razão do aumento na oferta de concentrado, e o tratamento SuPEM foi inferior aos demais. O PCQ e RCQ foi maior no tratamento SuCS em decorrência do melhor desempenho, com 260,05 kg e 53,92%, respectivamente. A suplementação de bovinos no período da seca...

This study evaluated the effect of four types of supplement on the finishing of Nellore cattle on deferred Brachiaria decumbens pasture during the dry season. Sixty-four castrated Nellore males with an age of approximately 34 months and initial body weight (BW) ranging from 360 to 380 kg were divided into 16 animals per treatment in a completely randomized design. The treatments consisted of four types of pasture supplement: deferred Brachiaria decumbens pasture + energy protein mineral salt (SuEPM) used as control; deferred Brachiaria decumbens pasture + urea + cottonseed meal (28% CP) + ground corn grain (SuCo); deferred Brachiaria decumbens pasture + urea + cottonseed meal (28% CP) + citrus pulp (SuCPu); deferred Brachiaria decumbens pasture + urea + cottonseed meal (28% CP) + soy hull (SuSH). The pasture was deferred for 170 days and provided 3,482 kg DM/ha of forage, permitting a stocking rate of 1.56 AU/ha (DM intake of 2.25% BW and 50% pasture efficiency). The animals received the supplement ad libitum in the SuEPM treatment and as % BW in the other treatments from July to October. The animals were slaughtered at a minimum BW of 457 kg. The following variables were evaluated: final weight, weight gain during the period (WG), average daily gain (ADG), hot carcass weight (HCW), and hot carcass yield (HCY). With respect to final weight, the supplement in the SuCo, SuCPu and SuSH treatments permitted a greater supply of nutrients and the animals therefore exhibited better performance (P<0.05) compared to the SuEPM treatment (mean of 478.68 vs 412.62 kg). The same effect was observed for the other parameters studied. Analysis of WG and ADG showed that SuSH was superior to the SuCo and SuCPu treatments (P<0.05) due to the increased offer of concentrate and SuEPM was inferior to the other treatments. Higher HCW (260.05 kg) and HCY (53.92%) were obtained with treatment SuSH as a result of greater performance. Supplementation of cattle during the dry ...

Xilanases em Rações para Poedeiras Comerciais

A utilização de alimentos alternativos vem crescendo na constante tentativa de reduzir os custos de produção, assim como o uso de aditivos, como as carboidrases pelos possíveis efeitos positivos na metabolizabilidade dos nutrientes para poedeiras. Desta forma, esse estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar a inclusão de diferentes xilanases em dietas com redução de energia metabolizável (EM) e inclusão de ingredientes alternativos sobre a metabolizabilidade dos nutrientes das rações para poedeiras comerciais. Foram realizados dois ensaios de metabolizabilidade com poedeiras brancas da linhagem Dekalb White, com 78 semanas de idade. No primeiro experimento adotou-se um delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2 x 2 + 1 (duas reduções de energia metabolizável x duas suplementações de xilanases XP e XC + uma ração controle), totalizando cinco rações experimentais, com cinco repetições e quatro aves por unidade experimental. As rações experimentais foram: ração controle atendendo a exigência nutricional das aves sem adição de enzimas e rações com reduções de 100 e 200 Kcal EM/kg com inclusão de xilanases do pantanal (XP) e comercial (XC) (16000 BXU/kg). Para o segundo ensaio adotou-se um delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2 x 3 + 2 (com duas suplementações de xilanases XP e XC e adição de três alimentos alternativos mais um controle positivo e um controle negativo) totalizando oito rações experimentais com cinco repetições e quatro aves por unidade experimental. As rações experimentais foram: ração controle baseada em milho e farelo de soja atendendo as exigências nutricionais das aves sem inclusão de enzimas, rações baseadas em milho e farelo de soja com redução de 150 Kcal EM/kg com a inclusão ou não de XP e XC e inclusão de farelo de trigo e/ou casca de soja com redução de 150 Kcal EM/kg com a inclusão de XP e XC. No primeiro ensaio houve interação para o coeficiente de metabolizabilidade da fibra em detergente neutro (CMFDN) no qual a ração suplementada com XP na redução de 200 Kcal de EM, apresentou a melhor metabolizabilidade. Para a energia metabolizável aparente corrigida para balanço de nitrogênio (EMAn) a ração suplementada com XP na redução de 100 kcal de EM, foi superior as demais. Foram observados efeitos positivos para os CM da matéria seca, proteína bruta, energia bruta para suplementação de XP. Houve efeito do CM da matéria mineral (. Para o segundo experimento houve efeito da interação para o CM da proteína bruta no qual XC foi superior a XP com adição de FT (farelo de trigo). Para CMMM a interação demonstrou que as rações suplementadas com XC e adição de FT, CS (casca de soja) e CSFT (casca de soja e farelo de trigo) foram superiores as rações com XP e adição de FT, CS e CSFT. Para EMAn a ração com adição de FT e suplementação foi a superior em relação as demais de acordo com a interação, o efeito de adição de alimentos alternativos foi significativo para CMMS na adição de FT e CMEB e EMA na adição de FT e CS, foi possível observar que a adição de FT em rações suplementadas com XC foi superior nos coeficientes em efeito isolado e nas interações. Conclui-se que a inclusão de XP (16000 BXU/Kg) em rações para poedeiras comerciais leves baseadas em milho e farelo de soja, com redução energética de até 200 kcal de EM/kg, proporciona melhor metabolizabilidade dos nutrientes e, consequentemente, maiores valores de EMA e EMAn. Com a inclusão de XC (16000 BXU/kg) é possível reduzir em até 150 kcal/ kg a EM das rações para poedeiras comerciais leves contendo FT, sem prejuízo a metabolizabilidade dos nutrientes e, consequentemente, a EMA e EMAn.

T he use of alternative foods has been growing in the constant attempt to reduce production costs, as well as the use of additives, such as carboidrases for possible positive effects on metabolizabilidade of nutrients for layers. Thus, this study was carried out to assess the inclusion of different diets with reduced xylanase of metabolizable energy (me) and inclusion of alternate ingredients on the nutrient metabolizabilidade of feed for laying hens commercials. Two metabolizabilidade tests were carried out with layers of white line White with Dekalb 78 weeks of age. In the first experiment took a completely randomized design in factorial scheme 2 x 2 + 1 (two reductions of metabolizable energy x two supplementations of xylanase XP and XC + a ration control), totaling five experimental rations, with five repetitions and four birds per experimental unit. The experimental rations were: ration control given the nutritional requirement of the birds without adding enzymes and rations with reductions of 100 and 200 Kcal/kg with xylanase inclusion of the pantanal (XP) and commercial (XC) (BXU/16000 kg). For the second test took a completely randomized design in factorial scheme 2 x 3 + 2 (with two supplementations of xylanase XP and XC and adding three more alternative foods a positive control and a negative control) totaling eight rations five experimental repetitions and four birds per experimental unit. The experimental rations were: ration control based on corn and soybean meal meeting the nutritional requirements of the birds without inclusion of enzymes, feed based on corn and soybean meal with reduction of 150 Kcal/kg with the inclusion or not of XP and XC and inclusion of fare it of wheat and/or soy hull with reduction of 150 Kcal/kg with the addition of XP and XC. In the first essay happened interaction for the metabolizabilidade coefficient of neutral detergent fiber (CMFDN) in which the feed supplemented with XP on reduction of 200 Kcal, presented the best metabolizabilidade. To the apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen balance (EMAn) ration supplemented with XP on reduction of 100 kcal, was higher than the other. Positive effects were observed for the CM of dry matter, crude protein, gross energy for XP supplementation. In the second experiment, there was interaction effect for the CM of the crude protein in which XC was superior to XP with addition of FT (wheat bran). For CMMM the interaction showed that the rations supplemented with XC and addition of FT, CS (soybean hull) and CSFT (soybean hull and wheat bran) were superior to XP rations and addition of FT, CS and CSFT. For EMAn the feed with addition of FT and supplementation was higher than the others according to the interaction, the effect of addition of alternative foods was significant for CMMS in the addition of FT and CMEB and EMA in the addition of FT and CS, it was possible to observe that the addition of FT in rations supplemented with XC (16000 BXU / Kg) in rations for light commercial laying hens based on corn and soybean meal, with energetic reduction of up to 200 kcal of ME / kg, was higher in the coefficients in isolated effect and in the interactions. , provides better metabolizability of nutrients and, consequently, higher values of AME and AMEn. With the inclusion of XC (16000 BXU / kg) it is possible to reduce the MS for feeder hens containing FT by up to 150 kcal / kg, without impairing the metabolisability of the nutrients and, consequently, the EMA and EMAn.

Mineral composition of protein soybean hull for feeding ruminants / Composição mineral da casca proteinada de soja para alimentação de ruminantes

Background: The industrial by-products vary widely in the mineral composition, therefore is necessary to identify the composition of these products to determine if present risk of toxicity to animals. Heavy metals, once ingested, can accumulate in animal tissue, mainly in the liver, kidneys and muscles. Some elements such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury are often classifi ed as toxic elements because their biological activities are linked to toxic reactions, although all chemical elements, whether metal or not, can be toxic to animals if consumed in amounts above the need of each animal or for a long period. The protein soybean hull (PSH) is the residue coming from the technological process of extraction of soy protein, with is originally called primary sludge. To this is added 50% soybean hull and dried, resulting in the product called protein soybean hull. This work was carried out in order to assess through mineral studies the nutritional potential of the protein soybean hull for feed sheep in replace soybean meal, because currently there is no available scientifi c studies on the effect of using protein soybean hull in the ruminant animals diet related to mineral metabolism.Materials, Methods & Results: For this, samples of soybean protein hull were collected from a benefi ted soy industry in different batches to evaluate the variability in mineral composition of experi

Some elements such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury are often classified as toxic elements because their biological activities are linked to toxic reactions, although all chemical elements, whether metal or not, can be toxic to animals if consumed in amounts above the need of each animal or for a long period.

To this is added 50% soybean hull and dried, resulting in the product called protein soybean hull. This work was carried out in order to assess through mineral studies the nutritional potential of the protein soybean hull for feed sheep in replace soybean meal, because currently there is no available scientific studies on the effect of using protein soybean hull in the ruminant animals diet related to mineral metabolism. Materials, Methods & Results: For this, samples of soybean protein hull were collected from a benefited soy industry in different batches to evaluate the variability in mineral composition of experimental material. The samples of soybean protein hull were analyzed for, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, sodium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, cobalt. It was also analyzed for fluorine, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and vanadium, minerals considered potentially toxic to feeding sheep. The mean values of Ca and P in PSH were 0.52% and 1.22% respectively. The average content of Mg found in the PSH was 0.19% and represents 63% of the amount of Mg present in soybean meal. The S content in CPS ranged from 0.22 to 0.29%, so the PSH is sufficient to meet the daily requirements of S for sheep in growing / finishing. The PSH showed high levels of Na (0.19%) and iron (16,414 mg / kg) and can cause problems of toxicity, if not provided in a balanced diet. However, the mean levels of Mn (40.29 mg / kg), Zn (61.07 mg / kg), Cu (14.29 mg / kg) and Co (1.15 mg / kg) were suitable for feeding sheep. Considered potentially toxic minerals to feeding sheep (F, Al, As, Cd, Pb, Hg and V), only the F and Al were detected, with values of 100 and 199.43 mg / kg, being within the limits considered toxic to sheep. Discussion: The industrial production process of protein soybean hull was homogeneous due to the small variation in the mineral levels analyzed in seven different batches. The P is an essential element in the diet of sheep that represents the greatest risk of environmental pollution, so the P content of the diet should be adequate for optimal animal performance with minimal environmental impact, but the greater concern in the PSH is related to the Ca: P ratio, because this ratio was less than 1:1 (0,52:1,22) and may affect the absorption of Ca or P, if the diet was not balanced properly. The iron was the only mineral and perhaps the most limiting nutritional potential of the PSH, due to its high concentration may cause problems of toxicity in sheep. The concentration of other minerals is within the maximum tolerable level for sheep. The toxicity of Iron can be better evaluated in animal experiments. In PSH samples analyzed, minerals with direct toxic potential or accumulation (heavy metals) have no major problems, since most of them were not detected in the analysis.

Avaliação do potencial nutricional da casca proteinada de soja para a alimentação de ruminantes / Evaluation of nutritional potential of the protein soybean hull for feeding ruminants

Background: The agro-industrial by-products constitute valuable sources of nutrients for animal production, however, assessing the potential for the use of by-products arising from the food industry is essential to minimize production costs and maximize production meat. For formulation of diets nutritionally viable, is of fundamental importance to know the nutritional value of foods. For this, one must determine the chemical composition, nutrient availability, concentration and availability of energy from food. The protein soybean hull is the residue coming from the technological process of extraction of soy protein, with is originally called primary sludge. To this is added 50% soybean hull and dried, resulting in the product called protein soybean hull. This work was carried out in order to assess through chemical studies the nutritional potential of the protein soybean hull its utilization for feed sheep in replace soybean meal, because currently there is no available scientific studies on the effect of using protein soybean hull in the ruminant animals diet. Materials, Methods & Results: For this, samples of soybean protein hull were collected from a benefited soy industry in different batches to evaluate the variability in chemical composition of experimental material, dried at 55°C in a forced air oven for 72 h and ground (Willey mill type) in screen of a millimeter. The samples of soybean protein hull were analyzed for dry matter, mineral matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, nitrogen-free extract, total carbohydrates, nonfiber carbohydrates, crude energy, crude fiber, neutral and acid detergent fiber. Protein quality was evaluated through levels of urease and protein solubility. The soybean protein hull showed high levels of dry matter (85.17 to 87.99%), representing a good potential for conservation of this by-product during storage. The high content of ash (8.13%) is possibly due to the presence of silica originating from the soybean hull present in the soybean protein hull. The crude protein content of 30.69% represents 68% of crude protein content of soybean meal. The ether extract (2.08%) is within the normal range for a constituent ingredient of feed for sheep. In the seven samples only one did not have appropriate value for non-fiber carbohydrates (4.3%) possibly necessitating supplementation of energy and undegradable protein in the diet of sheep. The energy concentration of the soybean protein hull determinates in calorimetric bomb was 4.2 Mcal/kg. For the levels of urease and protein solubility were obtained the average values of 0.02 and 35.41%, respectively. Discussion: The average value of neutral detergent fiber found in the soybean protein hull was 47.56% approximately 3.5 times the amount of soybean meal. The values of acid detergent fiber ranged from 34.68 to 38.27%. The protein soybean hull has 3.5 times more neutral detergent fiber, 68% crude protein and 58% of the metabolizable energy do soybean meal, can therefore be considered a roughage by-product and may be used for sheep diet in replace of soybean meal. The industrial production of soybean protein hull was quite homogeneous due to small variation in the different chemical constituents analyzed in the seven batches and the rates of protein quality can be better evaluated in animal experiments.(AU)

In the seven samples only one did not have appropriate value for non-fiber carbohydrates (4.3%) possibly necessitating supplementation of energy and undegradable protein in the diet of sheep. The energy concentration of the soybean protein hull determinates in calorimetric bomb was 4.2 Mcal/kg. For the levels of urease and protein solubility were obtained the average values of 0.02 and 35.41%, respectively. Discussion: The average value of neutral detergent fiber found in the soybean protein hull was 47.56% approximately 3.5 times the amount of soybean meal. The values of acid detergent fiber ranged from 34.68 to 38.27%. The protein soybean hull has 3.5 times more neutral detergent fiber, 68% crude protein and 58% of the metabolizable energy do soybean meal, can therefore be considered a roughage by-product and may be used for sheep diet in replace of soybean meal. The industrial production of soybean protein hull was quite homogeneous due to small variation in the different chemical constituents analyzed in the seven batches and the rates of protein quality can be better evaluated in animal experiments.

PROBIÓTICO, PREBIÓTICO e SIMBIÓTICO NA NUTRIÇÃO DE JUVENIS DE CARPA CAPIM

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho de carpas capim (Ctenopharyngodon idella) alimentadas com dietas suplementadas com diferentes aditivos no consumo de forragem teosinto (Euchlaena mexicana). O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com 4 tratamentos em triplicata, sendo, TCont: dieta controle; TPre: dieta com prebiótico (casca de soja: 5%/Kg de ração); TPro: dieta com probiótico (B. cereus e B. subtilis: 0,5%/Kg de ração) e TSim: dieta com simbiótico (níveis de probiótico e prebiótico juntos). As rações formuladas tinham 30% PB e 3000 kcal/ED/Kg. O período experimental foi de 70 dias nos quais os peixes foram alimentados com 3% PV de ração e forragem ofertada a vontade. Foram avaliados os parâmetros de desempenho zootécnico, conversão alimentar aparente, índices corpóreos, análise centesimal corporal e parâmetros hematológicos. Para análise estatística foi realizada ANOVA com P<0,05 e teste de comparação de médias. Os resultados indicaram que a inclusão de probiótico, prebiótico e simbiótico na concentração usada apresentaram melhor consumo de forragem em relação ao controle, mas não em relação o desempenho zootécnico dos animais. Também, a inclusão dos aditivos proporcionou menor gordura corporal nos animais.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) fed diets supplemented with different additives in the consumption of forage teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana). The experimental design was completely randomized with 4 treatments in triplicate being TCont: control diet; Tpre: prebiotic (soybean hulls: 5%/kg of diet); TPro: Probiotic (B. cereus and B. subtilis: 0.5%/kg of diet) and Tsyn: synbiotic (probiotic and prebiotic levels together). The diets formulated had 30% CP and 3000 kcal / DE / kg. The experimental period was 70 days in which fish were fed 3% BW feed and forage offered ad libitum. It were evaluated the growth performance parameters, aparent feed conversion, corporeal indices, chemical analysis of the boby and hematological parameters. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA P <0.05 and mean comparison test. The results may indicate that the addition of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic in the concentration used showed better forage intake compared to control, but not over the growth performance of animals. Also, the inclusion of additives provided lower body fat in animals.
