Desempenho de frangos de corte em dietas base milho e base sorgo com óleo degomado de soja e óleo bruto de milho com alta acidez

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of 42-day-old broilers fed with distillers’ corn oil in substitution to soybean oil. The design was completely randomized with four treatments and 10 repetitions (boxes), each box containing 40 broilers, making up a total of 1600 birds. The diets were isoenergetic and isonutritients in all 4 phases (pre-starting, starting, growing and finishing) and formulated in sorghum-soybean oil-based (SOS), sorghum-distillers’ corn oil-based (SOM), corn-soybean oil-based (MOS) and corn- distillers’ corn oil-based (MOM) diets. The substitution of soybean oil by distillers’ corn oil was total, and in the same quantity. The birds were weighed weekly to determine feed intake (CR) and live weight (PV). There was no significant difference between the variable in study, which indicates that soybean oil can be fully substituted by distillers’ corn oil in broiler diets. Key
