RESUMO

The influence of alternative treatments using fluidextracts of Alternanthera brasiliana, propolis resin and linseed oil on the performance and blood biochemistry of broilers was evaluated. The study was done with five treatments: basal diet (negative control); basal diet + 40 ppm avylamicin and 120 ppm monensin (positive control); basal diet + A. brasiliana extract (180 mL/200 kg of feed); basal diet + propolis extract (200 mL/200 kg of feed) and basal diet + linseed oil (2.5% replacing soybean oil). Propolis and A. brasiliana extracts improved broiler performance from 14 to 21 days, whereas linseed oil had no effect. The findings of this experiment revealed that A. brasiliana and propolis extracts can be used as antimicrobials, but further studies are necessary to find the best concentration in broiler diets.

RESUMO

Ideal protein (IP) concept in feed formulation is more suitable when alternative ingredients to corn (C) and soybean meal (SBM) are used. Thus, the objective of this paper was to compare diets using IP concept and poultry offal meal (POM) in substitution to SBM in broiler diets. The treatments were: T1= diets with 22% and 20 % crude protein (CP) in starting phase (SP) and growing phase (GP), respectively and 3200 kcal ME/kg all over the experiment; T2= similar energy to T1 and IP diet based on C and SBM (1.15% digestible lysine in SP and 0.90 % in GP); T3= similar diet to T2, with 20% and 25% of substitution of SBM by POM in SP and GP, respectively; T4= similar diet to T3, with 40 and 50 % of substitution of SBM by POM in IP and GP, respectively; T5= similar diet to T4 balanced by total amino acids (1.10 and 1.00 % of total lysine in SP and GP, respectively). Results permitted to conclude that formulation based on IP is better than the ones considering CP or total amino acids. The inclusion of 20 % POM in the initial and 25 % POM in the growing phases of broilers in substitution to SBM improved performance up to 21 days and did not influence performance up to 42 days when diets were formulated according to ideal protein concept.

A formulação com base no conceito de proteína ideal (PI) é mais eficiente quando são usados ingredientes alternativos ao milho (M) e ao farelo de soja (FS). Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi comparar formulações de dietas utilizando o conceito de PI, usando farinha de vísceras (FV) em substituição ao FS, em dietas de frangos de corte. Os tratamentos foram os seguintes: T1 = dieta com 22 % e 20% de proteína bruta (PB) nas fases inicial (FI) e de crescimento (FC) e 3200 kcal/kg de EM durante todo experimento; T2 = energia semelhante a dieta T1 e PI à base de M e FS (1,15% de lisina digestível na FI e 0,90% de lisina digestível na FC; T3=dieta semelhante a T2, com 20 % e 25 % de substituição do FS por FV nas FI e FC, respectivamente; T4=dieta semelhante a T3, com 40 e 50 % de substituição do FS por FV, nas FI e FC, respectivamente; T5=dieta semelhante a T4, porém com balanço por aminoácidos (AA) totais (1,10 e 1,00 % de lisina total nas FI e FC, respectivamente). Os resultados permitiram concluir que a formulação com base na PI é melhor do que aquela que considera a PB ou AA totais. A inclusão de 20 % FV na FI e 25 % na FC de frangos de corte, em substituição ao FS, melhorou o desempenho até os 21 dias e não alterou o desempenho até os 42 dias em dietas formuladas dentro do conceito de proteína ideal.
