ABSTRACT
Este documento se refiere al uso de la torta de palmiste en concentrados para animales en Malasia, la que es usada con mucha frecuencia como ingrediente principal en raciones para ganado y búfalos. En ese país se usa la producción de concentrados completos con base en torta de palmiste, ya sea en forma paletizada, en cubos o como ración total mezclada (RTM). Los análisis muestran que la carne de estos animales es de calidad superior comparada con la del ganado alimentado a pastoreo. También la torta de palmiste se usa en ganado lechero, en ovejas y cabras, un poco menos en avicultura, porcicultura y acuicultura. Se ha demostrado que la torta de palmiste es una promisoria fuente de energía y proteína en la fabricación de concentrados para rumiantes y no rumiantes, así como es un elemento de uso económico.
This document deals with the use of kernel cake in animal feeds in Malaysia, which is widely used as the main ingredient in rations for buffaloes and cattle. Malaysia produces complete feeds based on kernel cake, either as pellets, cubes or total mixed ration (TMR). Analyses indicate that the beef from these animals is of superior quality, compared to beef from pasture-fed cattle. Kernel cake is also used in dairy cattle, sheep and goats, and to a less extent, in swine and aquaculture. Kernel cake has been shown to be a promising cost-effective source of energy and protein in the compound feeds for ruminants and non ruminants

Growing lambs were fed diets that just met their requirement for Ca but which supplied either 1 or 3 times their requirement for P and the effects on Ca and P retention and on bone turnover were monitored. Feeding the high P diet had no adverse effect on Ca and P absorption or retention or on bone formation rate. Bone resorption rate was a little higher in lambs fed the high P diet but there were no differences between treatments in plasma parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 or 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels or in bone mineral content. It would appear from these results that feeding diets that are rich in P is unlikely to have any adverse effect on skeletal mineralization in the lamb provided that their minimum requirement for Ca is met.
