“…Also in this case, our results agree with the data available in the literature. As far as sunflower meal is concerned, Cortamira et al (2000) found no differences in growing performance (ADG and FCR) or carcass quality (dressing percent, fat and lean tissue percentage) when twice decorticated sunflower meal was used in total replacement of soybean. Furthermore, in a preliminary trial on heavy pigs, Trombetta and Mattii (2005) did not observe any differences in growth parameters when using sunflower meal in total replacement of soya bean (11% of the diet).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a diet containing non-conventional (i.e. alternative to soybean meal) vegetable protein sources on fattening performance, and meat and dry-cured ham quality of heavy pigs. Fifty-six (Landrace x Large White) castrated males with an initial average body weight of 50 kg were allocated to two experimental groups: a control group in which pigs received a traditional soybean meal-based diet, and a treatment group in which soybean meal was replaced by vegetable protein sources (i.e. sunflower meal, potato protein, corn gluten feed, faba beans and dehydrated alfalfa meal), mainly locally grown and not genetically modified. Pigs were slaughtered at approximately 160 kg body weight. Dietary treatment had no significant effect on fattening performance, or meat, fat or dry-cured ham properties. Results suggest that it is possible to feed heavy pigs a soybean-free diet without impairing fattening performance or the quality of meat and Italian PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) hams.

“…Soybean meal (SBM) is the mostly used protein source in animal nutrition, due to its high quality in amino acid pro le (McDonald et al, 2011), and accounts for 85 % of the protein supplements fed to pigs (Cortamira et al, 2000). The majority (72 %) of SBM supplies in South Africa is imported from non-African countries (Sihlobo and Kapuya, 2016), making it di cult to be afforded by some pig producing farmers, especially those in the emerging sector.…”

This experiment evaluated varying levels of Amarula (Sclerocarya birrea A. Rich) nut cake (ANC) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and carcass characteristics in pigs. Thirty Large White × Landrace (LW × LR) pigs were strati ed by weight (average live weight of 20 ± 5 kg) and randomly allocated to the ve experimental diets that contained 0 (control), 50, 100, 150 and 200 g ANC/kg DM. Each pig served as a replicate unit, housed individually. Bodyweight, feed intake, average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded weekly throughout the trial period. On completion of the growth trial, following a 3-day adaptation, a nutrient digestibility study was conducted over 5 days. Thereafter, pigs were fasted for twelve hours, weighed, slaughtered, and carcass samples were collected for analysis. Feed intake was not affected by dietary treatment, but ADGs were reduced at ANC levels > 15%, resulting in poor FCR. Protein digestibility was reduced at ANC levels > 15%, while ether extract and bre levels increased. Warm and cold carcass weights were lower at ANC levels > 15, with improved meat redness and lightness. It was concluded that ANC could replace SBM in the diet of growing pigs at less than 15% inclusion level.

“…Sunflower meal can be used in diets in complement with other lysine-rich feed sources (SILVA, 1990) but the high level of fiber in sunflower meal contributes to a reduction in the concentdiet of digestible energy in the diets. Sunflower meal in substitution of soybean meal requires the addition of vegetable oil and lysine in the diet composition for pigs (CORTAMIRA et al, 2000). This fact implies that the use of sunflower meal should be limited under the risk of reducing the final energy in a diet, requiring more oil for energy supplementation, that could raise the final costs.…”

With the objective to evaluate the influence of increasing levels of inclusion of sunflower meal (SFM) solvent extraction (DM: 92.71%, CP: 27.50%, NDF: 43.57%, ADF: 32.96%, CF: 25.91%, EE: 3,08% and GE: 4390 kcal) on the performance and carcass characteristics of finishing swine, a performance trial was conducted in the Department of Animal Science of the Federal University of Lavras -MG. A total of 80 crossbred pigs (LD x LW) with initial weight of 62.20 ± 4.21 kg were utilized, one barrow and one gilt per experimental unit, allocated in a randomized block design. The treatments were represented by five diets with increasing levels of inclusion (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16%) of SFM. At the end of the experimental period, all pigs were slaughtered (99.80 ± 6.91kg) and submitted to the carcass evaluation by the Brazilian Method of Carcass Evaluation (ABCS, 1973). The increasing levels of SFM shown a linear reduction (P<0.05) in the feed intake, therefore all other variables, shown any significant effect. The carcass data evaluation also shown any significant effect (P>0.05) for any increasing levels of SFM in the diets, however, sex effect was found, in the barrows, which shown higher ETM, P2, AG and RCG and lower AOL in relation to the females In conclusion Sunflower meal should be included up to 16% in pig diet (isocaloric and isolysinic, basis ) with no major effects on growth performance or carcass traits of finishing pigs Index terms: Swine, sunflower meal, performance, carcass. RESUMOCom o objetivo de avaliar a influência de níveis crescentes de inclusão do farelo de girassol (FG) em rações (MS: 92,71%; PB: 27,50%; FDN: 43,57%; FDA: 32,96%; FB: 25,91%) e a atuação deste no desempenho e características de carcaça para suínos em terminação, conduziu-se uma pesquisa no Departamento de Zootecnia da Universidade Federal de Lavras-MG. Foram utilizados 80 suínos mestiços (LD x LW) com peso inicial de 62,20 ± 4,21 kg, sendo 1 macho e 1 fêmea por baia, distribuídos em um delineamento em blocos ao acaso. As rações apresentaram níveis crescentes de inclusão (0, 4, 8, 12 e 16%) de FG. Ao final do ensaio de desempenho os 80 suínos foram abatidos (99,80 ± 6,91kg) e submetidos à avaliação de carcaça (ABCS, 1973). Os níveis crescentes de FG proporcionaram redução linear (P< 0,05) no CRMD; para as demais variáveis não se observou efeito significativo. Na avaliação de carcaça, os ní-veis crescentes de inclusão de FG não proporcionaram efeito significativo (P>0,05) para as variáveis avaliadas, sendo, entretanto, constatado efeito de sexo, pois os machos apresentaram maiores valores de ETM, P 2 , AG e RCG e as fêmeas melhor AOL e RPER. Conclui-se que é viável tecnicamente a inclusão de até 16% de farelo de girassol em rações para suínos na fase de terminação.Termos para indexação: Suínos, farelo de girassol, desempenho, carcaça.
