Ração com óleo de milho, sua digestibilidade e a análise bromatológica do músculo do peito em frangos de corte

Abstract

Aimed to evaluate the corn oil in diets based on sorghum as an alternative to replacement of soybean oil for broilers, comparing digestibility of feed, crude protein (CP) and ether extract (EE); apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen balance (AMEn); between the two oils in two steps: 17-21 days and 31-35 days; The chemical analysis of the breast muscle, feed cost (Yi), economic efficiency index (EEI) and cost index (CI) for live weight and carcass between lipid sources was also performed. The design was completely randomized in a 2x2 factorial design (with ration with soybean oil and corn oil and 17-21 days and 31-35 days), and digestibility was four replicates per treatment with two birds per experimental unit for each phase and for the chemical analysis of chest with six replicates per treatment one bird per experimental unit. Was no diet x age interaction for CP digestibility, which was higher at 17-21 days using soybean oil. The digestibility of the ration was increased to 31-35 days compared to 17-21 days of age. The digestibility of EE was not altered by the treatments and the ages. The use of corn oil resulted in higher EMA to 17-21 days of age, AME and AMEn to 31-35 days of age, while there was no difference in AMEn to 17-21 days. The composition of breast, no differences in deposition of EE were found. For the deposition of CP and dry matter (DM) corn oil showed better values for moisture while breast soybean oil resulted in higher levels. The result of economic viability benefited soybean oil. Corn oil can replace soya oil in diets containing sorghum, improving the apparent metabolizable energy of feed and the composition of the breast.
