“…We propose that despite being richer in NDIN and ADIN than soybean meal, the use of licuri provided a lower rate of passage of fermentable organic matter due to its higher NDF content, resulting in greater synthesis of rumen microbial protein. Daza et al (2020) also did not observe an effect of the inclusion of licuri nut on the apparent digestibility of CP in a sheep diet.…”

A high-grain diet is essential to maximize growth and yield as well as to provide high-quality meat in beef cattle. This study evaluated the effects of including licuri cake in high-grain diets for steers on performance and carcass and meat quality. Forty-four crossbred (1/2 Bos taurus × 1/2 Bos indicus) castrated steers at 24 months of age, with an initial weight of 358.19 ± 41.57 kg, were used. The animals were distributed into four treatments that consisted of diets including licuri cake (0, 85, 170, or 255 g/kg, dry matter basis). Dry matter intake and digestibility decreased with the inclusion of licuri cake in the diet. However, the addition of the ingredient did not influence the intakes of total digestible nutrients (6.7 ± 0.5 kg/day) or crude protein. Licuri cake inclusion did not influence weight gain (1.5 ± 0.2 kg/day) or hot carcass weight (255.1 ± 24.9 kg). There was also no effect on carcass fat thickness, whereas the cholesterol content in the meat decreased with the addition of the cake. We recommend the inclusion of up to 255 g/kg licuri cake in the diet of feedlot steers fed high-concentrate diets.

“…Diets with higher NDF contents result in more chewing (see upward trend in chewing time) and, consequently, more saliva in the rumen-reticulum to regulate the pH of this compartment (Souza et al, 2022). In this context, Daza et al (2021) reported that the physically effective NDF (peNDF1.18) content of licuri is similar to that of Tifton 85 hay, and that including the former ingredient in the diet increases its peNDF level. Furthermore, for cows whose DM intake is regulated by the diet's energy density (i.e., in high-grain diets), increasing the dietary peNDF may favor DM intake (Zebeli et al, 2011).…”

“…The crude protein in LC is rich in neutral and acid detergent insoluble protein (Silva et al, 2015), and its ether extract is rich in short-and medium-chain fatty acids (Costa et al, 2018). Additionally, the neutral detergent fiber in LC is as effective as that of hay (Daza et al, 2021). Researchers who replaced soybean meal (the main dietary source of protein) with LC in the diet of sheep described a decrease in nutrient intake and digestibility, performance, and carcass traits (Santos et al, 2015;Costa et al, 2016).…”

Licuri cake (LC) is an interesting alternative nutritional component for high-grain diets for ruminants due to its high protein (21.6% CP), fat (12.0% EE), and fiber (62.8% NDF) contents. We investigated the effect of increasing levels of LC inclusion on the intake, digestibility, feeding behavior, performance, and carcass traits of cull cows fed high-grain diets. Forty Zebu cows with an initial weight of 318 ± 38.1 kg, at 105 months of age, were confined in collective stalls and fed (ad libitum) a diet containing 0, 50, 100, or 150 g/kg LC on a diet dry matter (DM) basis. Licuri cake inclusion induced quadratic responses (P < 0.05) in the intakes of DM (9.57 kg/day at 97.8 g/kg LC), crude protein (CP; 1.02 kg/day at 91.7 g/kg LC), and total digestible nutrients (6.68 kg/day at 75.2 g/kg LC). The digestibility of DM, CP, and non-fibrous carbohydrates decreased linearly (P < 0.05). Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intake and rumination efficiencies increased linearly (P < 0.05) with the inclusion of LC in the diet. The inclusion of LC did not influence (P > 0.05) on daily weight gain, hot carcass weight, or back fat thickness in the carcass. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion of up to 150 g/kg LC in high-grain diets for feedlot cull cows.

“…The addition of 17% ground licuri in the diet of lambs improved feed conversion and increased average daily gain [239]. However, a decrease in lamb performance due to decreased dry matter intake was observed [240]. The lambs fed with 16% licuri cake had no changes in the dry matter intake [241].…”

Emerging Lipids from Arecaceae Palm Fruits in Brazil

Arecaceae palm tree fruits (APTFs) with pulp or kernel rich in oil are widely distributed in six Brazilian biomes. APTFs represent a great potential for the sustainable exploitation of products with high added value, but few literature studies have reported their properties and industrial applications. The lack of information leads to underutilization, low consumption, commercialization, and processing of these fruit species. This review presents and discusses the occurrence of 13 APTFs and the composition, physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, and potential applications of their 25 oils and fats. The reported studies showed that the species present different lipid profiles. Multivariate analysis based on principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) indicated a correlation between the composition of pulp and kernel oils. Myristic, caprylic, capric, and lauric acids are the main saturated fatty acids, while oleic acid is the main unsaturated. Carotenoids and phenolic compounds are the main bioactive compounds in APTFs, contributing to their high oxidative stability. The APTFs oils have a potential for use as foods and ingredients in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biofuel industries. However, more studies are still necessary to better understand and exploit these species.
