Fontes de fibra de coprodutos agroindustriais protéicos para coelhos em crescimento

Abstract: II RESUMO Este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar a influência da fibra oriunda de diferentes fontes (feno de alfafa ABSTRACT The objective of this paper was to study the influence of fiber fractions from different sources (alfalfa hay, linseed bran and corn gluten meal) on performance, digestibility coefficients and meat characteristics of growing rabbits. The animals were distributed into a completely randomized design with three treatments and eight replications, with one reference and two test diets: AH-co… Show more

“…The significant (p<0.05) differences in the slaughter weight, dressing weight and dressing percentage of the carcasses could be attributed to variations in the live weights of the experimental rabbits. The difference in slaughter weight is in agreement with that of Retore et al (2008) who fed diets of varying fibre quality to growing rabbits. However, their slaughter weight which ranged between 1.92 and 2.19 kg was higher than that obtained in the present experiment.…”

“…This can be justified by the seed composition, which is rich in soluble fiber. These fibers are viscous, hydrate easily, and have a great ability to form gel 20 . This leads to a decrease in the velocity of gastric emptying, and prolongation of satiety, resulting in reduced food intake 21 .…”

“…In the animal breeding as a business activity, the cost with food becomes high due to the corn dependence, soybean bran and especially alfalfa hay, since the inclusion of which rabbit feed aims to meet the requirements in fiber, however may represent over 40 % of the total cost of food in the growth phase (RETORE et al, 2010), depending on the region. This demonstrates the need to evaluate alternative sources for this primary material, aiming, mainly, the knowledge of their nutritional value and the optimization of its use in the diets of these animals.…”
