RESUMEN
Both the increasing demand of grains for food and the recent ethanol crisis have an economic impacton swine producers in many countries, including Colombia. The continuous increase in grain and cornprices push swine nutritionists everywhere to search for alternative energy feedstuffs in order to provideadequate feed to pigs. Colombia, where a variety of crops are grown, lacks effective alternative feedstuffsto replace corn, which is widely used as the main energy ingredient in common animal diets. The majorlimitations presented by those crops or products and their derived materials are usually their high water orhigh fiber contents, or both, particularly in the way they are made available from agricultural productionand the food industry.
RESUMO
A crescente demanda de grãos para a alimentação humana, bem como a recente crise gerada pelaprodução de etanol a partir do milho, estão encurralando suinocultores de muitos países, incluindo aColômbia. Os altos preços do milho obrigam os fabricantes de alimentos a buscar fontes alternativasde energia para alimentar os suínos. Apesar da Colombia produzir uma grande quantidade de colheitasdurante todo o ano, não há muitas alternativas para substituir de forma efetiva o milho. As limitaçõesapresentadas pelos potenciais ingredientes alternativos e seus derivados são, principalmente, seus altosteores de água e/ou fibra.
