Traceability of animal by product meals in broilers fed sugarcane yeast using stable isotopes

The objective of this study was to verify if the dietary inclusion of sugarcane yeast at levels commonly used in broiler diets influences the traceability of cattle meat meal and poultry offal meal, using the technique of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in the breast muscle of chickens. A number of 325 one-d-old male broilers were randomly distributed into 13 treatments with 25 birds each. Treatments consisted of a control diet based on corn and soybean meal, and the inclusion of 1, 2, 4, or 6% meat and bone meal, poultry offal meal or sugarcane yeast. At 42 days of age, six birds per treatment were randomly selected, sacrificed, and their breast muscle was collected for isotopic ration analysis. The isotopic ratio of birds fed the diet with inclusion of 6% sugarcane yeast was different from those fed the control treatment, but not from those fed diets with the inclusion of 2, 4 and 6% meat and bone meal or 4 and 6% poultry offal meal. The inclusion of 6% sugarcane yeast in broiler diets based on corn and soybean meal may affect the traceability of animal by product meals.(AU)

Aspectos nutricionais de farinhas de vísceras de aves e sua utilização em rações de frangos de corte / Nutritional aspects of poultry offal meal and its use for broiler chicken feeding

No processo de abate de frangos, partes dos mesmos são descartadas por serem impróprias para o consumo humano. Esses materiais de descarte devem ser encaminhados para um destino que não promova nenhum risco ao meio ambiente e principalmente, que esteja de acordo com a legislação que regula o destino final dos resíduos. No entanto, visando o esgotamento dessas alternativas de descarte, normalmente os resíduos têm sido transformados em subprodutos, a fim de atenuar o problema da falta de matéria prima para rações de aves, proporcionando um melhor aproveitamento dos mesmos até pela própria indústria avícola que não há obstrução do uso de farinhas de origem animal na dieta de não ruminantes pelo mercado interno. No Brasil os primeiros estudos científicos sobre a utilização de subprodutos de abatedouro de aves como fonte de proteína em rações para frangos de corte se iniciaram a partir da década de 1960 e essas informações foram utilizadas por muito tempo para formulação de rações, mas a necessidade de melhorar os rebanhos fomentou a busca pelo aprimoramento nas tecnologias para formulações de dietas precisas. Objetivou-se com este artigo revisar alguns aspectos sobre a composição físico-química, valores de energia e suas variantes, bem sua utilização em rações para frangos de corte.

In the process of slaughtering chickens, parts of them are discarded because are unfit for human consumption. These wastes should be directed to a destination that does not promote any risk to the environment and above all, according with the laws regulating waste disposal. So, the wastes are transformed into byproducts for utilization in the animal nutrition, poultry and swine feeding, but cannot use for ruminant feed, only non-ruminant feeding. In Brazil, the first scientific studies on the use of by-products of poultry slaughter as a protein source in diets for broiler chickens were started in the 1960's, and these results were used for a long time for food formulation, but the need to improve the herds stimulated the search for improvement in technologies for more accurate diet formulations. The objective of this article is to review some aspects of the physic-chemical composition, energy values and their use in diets for broilers.
